Emerald Acres Town Homes Blog: Travel to Cinque Terre with Christine Doneé

Oh these travel features never fail to leave me on a bottomless search for flights and hotel reservations. It’s a problem. And after pouring over all these stunning images of Cinque Terre (a place that has been on my bucket list forever) from Christine Doneé, I basically know what my Saturday will look like – spending more time than I should admit right here.

From Christine Doneé…When planning our wedding in Tuscany, we decided to not only honeymoon in Italy, but to also road trip throughout the country for several weeks. Cinque Terre became one of our last stops in the country, and it completely took our breath away.

Driving to the villages of Cinque Terre meant going through some pretty rugged terrain first. Winding roads and thick trees lead the way to the coast, until miraculously you stumble right onto a colorful town by the sea.

With its’ pastel colors, quiet nature and friendly locals it’s easy to see why this is considered to be one of the best destinations in all of Italy.

Comprised of 5 villages, each unique in and of itself, Cinque Terre offered us a a chance to really get to know our environment.

The greatest joy in traveling is learning the character and nuances of the place you are in: the colors, the attitude, the people; together, they come together to create a tone. And it was a perfect match for the two of us.
