A villa with a private pool near the Cinque Terre
Monterosso, Vernazza and Manarola by day, your own pool in the evening. From Luni you visit the Cinque Terre by train, with no parking to look for.
Why stay in Luni rather than in the villages
In the five villages houses are small, streets narrow and parking hard to find, especially for a group with several cars. At Villa Volpes you have 350 m², six bedrooms and a private pool, and the Cinque Terre are still an easy day out.
Sarzana station is 15 minutes from the villa and La Spezia about 30. From both there is a direct train to Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Tickets can be bought at the station or online. Every detail is in our guide to the Cinque Terre by train.
The Gulf of Poets, the other half of the trip
Between one Cinque Terre outing and the next, the Gulf of Poets is even closer to the villa.

Questions about the Cinque Terre
How far is Villa Volpes from the Cinque Terre?
Sarzana station is 15 minutes by car and La Spezia about 30. From both there is a direct train to the five villages.
Should I drive to the Cinque Terre?
Better not: parking in the villages is scarce and far from the centre. The train is the most convenient way.
Can you see everything in one day?
You can see several villages in a day, but two or three are enough to enjoy them calmly. With a week at the villa you can split them into two trips.
Your base for the Cinque Terre
Six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a private pool, one train ride from the villages.
