A vacation rental apartment on the Italian Riviera means being able to visit places along the coast like the Cinque Terre, Portofino, Rapallo, Genoa and more. The five fishing villages of the Cinque Terre can be seen on foot by following a breathtaking mountain trail, by a local train that stops in each village or by the sea. Portofino, Rapallo and Santa Margherita form the Bay of Tigullio and are perfect locations for family vacations in Italy. Villa rentals usually provide far more room than hotels at less than half the price.
