Italian Riviera Holiday Lettings - visit the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cinque Terre

Italy is a beautiful place to spend your holidays in and the Italian Riviera specifically is an excellent way to sit back, relax and recover from the stresses and troubles of your normal everyday working life. Visitors can reach this holiday destination by using the main motorways, flying into the nearby airport or via marine travel due to its extensive seaport. The Italian Riviera extends from the Italian border with France and the French Riviera at its northernmost point, down to the regional border with Tuscany, therefore comprising nearly all of the Ligurian coastline in western Italy. The geographic centre of the Riviera is the city of Genoa, splitting the region into two clear areas, the Riviera di Ponente, or “the coast of the setting sun”, stretching from Genoa to the French border, and Riviera di Levante, or “the coast of the rising sun”, between Genoa and Capo Corvo, near Tuscany.
