Let Cinque Terre Riviera be your trusted host in discovering the unmatched beauty of Vernazza and the Cinque Terre. Note on Location and Natural Surroundings This property sits right on the sea cliffs, surrounded by the raw beauty of the Cinque Terre coastline. At certain times of the year — especially in spring — waves may carry to shore Velella velella (also known as “by-the-wind sailors”), small jellyfish-like marine organisms that are a natural indicator of clean water and a healthy ecosystem. Their presence may occasionally result in a mild organic scent in the air — a completely natural occurrence and in no way related to the cleanliness of the home. It is a rare and short-lived phenomenon, and part of the authentic experience of staying in such an unspoiled environment.
