Cinque Terre - Pigato, Liguria - Italian Villa Vacations

Vermentino and Pigato (2 seperate apartments) are located in one of Cinque Terres charming hilltop villages - Built over a thousand years ago, the village has tiny, narrow streets and cars must be left outside. Two cars can be parked in the private space in the square (50 meters from the house). There are many surrounding seaside locations such as Portofino, Lerici, Tellaro, Fiascherino (that has a very exclusive beach). Versilia (the Tuscan Riviera) and Carrara (where there are marble caves) are VERY close as well. There are many day trips that can be taken from this medieval borgo. A week is almost not enough time to see everything. A day trip to Lucca and Florence is even close.
