Mare e Monti - The sea between the mountain.

Our two choices of accommodation can be found in Lavaggiorosso - an attractive hillside village in the Cinque Terre, 4 km from the coast and the town of Levanto. This small village, with around 100 inhabitants, was established over 1000 years ago. It nestles against the hill - looking almost as if it has been carved out of the stone. The pretty little streets were originally intended for man and donkey. Cars must be left outside the village - two vehicles can be parked on a private car park, in the village square.

Why not visit some of the inviting and attractive coastal towns such as Portofino, Lerici, Tellaro, and Fiascherino (exclusive beaches). Versilia (the Tuscan Riviera) and Carrara (the marble bridge) are also within easy reach. Many day excursions can be undertaken from this Medieval hamlet - one week is hardly enough to explore everything worth seeing in the area. Pisa, Lucca, and Florence are also near enough for a day trip. A holiday in Lavaggiorosso offers the guest a wide range of options: enjoy a colorful beach vacation on the Ligurian coast, visit the Ligurian and Tuscan towns known for their interesting art and, last but not least, savor the peace and quiet of village life.

Lavaggiorosso is 280 m above sea level. It is one of the oldest villages in the valley and was built behind a hill, to protect it from pirate attacks. The village church dates back to the time around 1600 - most of the houses are also from this period. The local products include olives, olive oil, sardines, and wine. One should mention the "Sciacchetrà" (an exquisite, sweet dessert wine) and the dry Levanto, Bonassola, and Framura wines. The village harbors the antique "Zita Trattoria" a simple restaurant at the top of a hill, run by a pleasant family. Enjoy friendly service and very reasonable prices. During the summer months, there is a bus connection from Lavaggiorosso to Levanto.

About the Region: The Cinque Terre: Cinque Terre is one of the well preserved natural Mediterranean regions. It consists of five locations, nestling between the sea and the mountains and surrounded by green hills. In order to enjoy the fruits of a thousand years of work - olives, olive oil, sardines, and wine, available in simple, family-run trattorias - one should learn the history of this challenging countryside, cultivated over the centuries by the patient and industrious farmers.

Visiting this area also means learning about wine-growing, fishermen and their nets, the stony valleys and their paths. Those who travel to Cinque Terre can choose between a trekking tour in the mountains or a diving trip in the sea; between the narrow paths known as "Carruggi" - or a boat trip; between climbing up to a mountain chapel or visiting a restaurant famous for its fish.
