Civil wedding in Vernazza
Vernazza weddings - Where?
In Vernazza, the most picturesque village of the Cinque Terre.
Vernazza and the Cinque Terre description
About 4 miles south of Monterosso is Vernazza, a charming village with a natural harbour in the shape of a semicircle
and a 14th century church that appears to have risen from
the sea.
The village takes its name from Vernazzola, a stream that zigzags its way down the cliffs, through the vineyards,
past the crowded houses, under picturesque small bridges and down to the sea. It seems as if nothing has changed here for centuries. The little harbour is dotted with fishing boats, and the water laps up against a small piazza. It's the perfect setting for an aperitif or an evening meal…a truly romantic, intimate and relaxing fishing village immersed in the most authentic and pristine nature.
Cinque Terre is all about nature. It's nothing like Portofino or Portovenere. There's no nightlife or anything else like that.
It's about the sheer beauty of the area, the mountains, the sea and the sun. Few areas in Italy or even Europe have scenery as breathtaking or water as clear as Cinque Terre's. In addition to this, the area offers a subtle local cuisine that places an emphasis on seafood and satisfying white wines produced from terraced hillside vineyards.
What more could a food-and wine-savvy traveller may desire? It's no wonder that UNESCO declared Cinque Terre a World Heritage area in 1997.
