You can stay at a hotel that will remind you of a 12th century monastery where you can enjoy a Jacuzzi and try out the gym as well. The next day of this luxury hiking tour will take you hiking to the first of five Cinque Terre villages that offers a breathtaking and awesome view. Day three of the Cinque Terre luxury hiking tour will offer panoramic views up the mountain where you can explore the terraced vineyards and the olive and lemon groves.

On the fourth day of your luxury hiking tour, you will be able to take in the bright yellow lemon trees that will make a wonderful subject for a photographer or painter, and you will then hike up into a small village located high above the sea to view the winery and taste the wines. You can also hike into the valley below that has many wild flowers. Day five of your luxury hiking tour will take you to Portofino, which is one of the most picturesque ports in Italy. Later, you can take a boat back to Camogli that is renowned for its annual fish frying festival.

The final day will see you hiking through lush gardens and olive groves just outside Camogli, and then on to a trail that is only accessible by foot to a nearby village. You will visit an ancient Abbey as well as the “Torre Andrea Doria”, which is a medieval lookout tower. Here, you will also find the 18-meter, underwater “Christ of the Depths,” which is a statute erected in memory of lost sailors.
