3 Days in Vernazza, Cinque Terre – The 2025 Travel Guide thebetterbeyond.com

Your travel guide to the jewel of Italy, Vernazza, Cinque Terre. Where to sleep, where to eat and where to play.

A stay in Vernazza saved what had been, quite honestly, a rather disastrous August trip to Italy. From a villa host who cancelled on our family group of 15 shortly before our trip (and re-listed on another site for more money), to Covid basically taking down my sister’s whole family, one-by-one, during our two week stay in Tuscany – let’s just say, things had gone extraordinarily sideways.

Thankfully, a 3 nights stay in Vernazza, one of five small, car-free villages that make up The Cinque Terre on Italy’s Ligurian Coast, finished up our trip on a much-needed high note.
