Prevo — Where the Cinque Terre Meet the Mediterranean
There are places from which you simply see the Cinque Terre. And then there are places from which you experience the Mediterranean in its entirety.
Prevo is one of them.
Perched high above the sea along the Sentiero Azzurro, this tiny hamlet offers an extraordinary perspective over the Ligurian coast. On exceptionally clear days, the horizon stretches all the way to the Tuscan Archipelago — Elba, Gorgona and Capraia — and beyond to Corsica.
Here, the landscape seems to have no boundaries. The deep blue of the Mediterranean meets the rugged cliffs of the Cinque Terre, while the sea below forms part of the Pelagos Sanctuary for Mediterranean Marine Mammals, an international protected area where dolphins, whales and other cetaceans find an important habitat.
Yet Prevo's true luxury is not measured in size or grandeur. It lies in its intimacy, privacy and sense of place.
This is a small, historic village where ancient stone houses, terraces, vineyards and gardens overlook the sea. A select collection of exclusive accommodations offers an experience far removed from the crowds, while the Snack Bar Vespucci provides a unique stop along the Blue Path for a drink, an aperitivo or simply a moment to admire the view.
Nearby, the Sentiero Azzurro farm shop brings the character of the surrounding land to the table, with products connected to the agricultural traditions of the Cinque Terre.
This is Prevo: a rare corner of the Cinque Terre where nature, history, privacy and the Mediterranean come together — a place to slow down, look beyond the horizon and experience the coast at its most authentic and exclusive.
