Cinque Terre

THE LOCATION
Drignana is a hamlet of just ten houses at 442 meters above sea level, on the hills of Vernazza, in the heart of the Cinque Terre National Park. It is one of those places you won't find in tourist guides, where time seems to have stopped and where Liguria still shows its most authentic face.
From here, Vernazza is 15 minutes by car, Corniglia 10 minutes, La Spezia half an hour, Monterosso and Riomaggiore less than 20 minutes. The nearest train station is Corniglia, with regional trains to the whole riviera and to Genoa. You are connected to everything, yet living on an island of tranquility: no crowds, no queues, no summer chaos. Just silence, the green of the terraced hillsides, and the sea view opening through the olive trees.
The hamlet sits along the Strada dei Santuari, the SP51 road that connects the five villages through the hills. It is the highest point of the famous Sentiero Azzurro, the hiking trail that links all the Cinque Terre villages. From Drignana, numerous paths lead to the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Reggio, to Vernazza, to Corniglia, and into the Ligurian hinterland. For those who love trekking and outdoor life, this is a strategic location.
The altitude guarantees a cooler climate during summer months, when the coastal villages suffer from heat and humidity. Here the breeze comes from the sea and evenings are always pleasant. The National Park protects the territory from any building speculation, ensuring that the landscape remains intact and that property values are preserved over time.
THE HOUSE
A traditional construction in local stone, typical of Ligurian hinterland architecture, spread over three levels for a total of 90 square meters. The house consists of three habitable rooms plus bathroom, distributed between basement, ground floor and first floor. The stone structure guarantees natural thermal insulation: cool in summer and easy to heat in winter. The thick walls also ensure excellent sound insulation.
The real jewel is the exclusive 24 square meter terrace on the upper level. This is not a shared condominium space: it is 100% exclusively owned, as confirmed by the cadastral survey. From here, the view sweeps freely over the Cinque Terre sea, with a panoramic vista embracing the entire coastline. It is a livable space where you can set up an outdoor dining area, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the sunset. For those planning to rent to tourists, the terrace with this view represents an extremely strong attraction.
The property was already used as a Bed Breakfast, which means it is ready to be inhabited or rented out immediately. No renovation work is needed. Buyers can move in and live in the house from day one, or resume the hospitality business without bureaucratic procedures. An interesting opportunity for those seeking an investment in short-term rentals, considering that the Cinque Terre receives over 2.5 million visitors every year.
