The beautiful Casa delle Viti in via della Chiusa in Sestri Levante. Going to the center of Sestri, I almost always pass in front of this house (one of the most convenient parking lots is in Piazza del Mercato) and, equally "almost always", I photograph it. In addition to being a beautiful house, it has the particularity (as you will have understood from the name) of having a couple of vine plants that go up from the street to the roof. Spectacular!

The Seaside Terraces of the Cinque Terre in Liguria. The Cinque Terre, located on the northwest coast of Italy, is one of the hidden gems of the Mediterranean. This picturesque region is famous for its charming terraces overlooking the sea, creating a breathtaking view and a unique experience. In this article, we will take you on a discovery of the terraces of the Cinque Terre, offering an in-depth look at what makes this place so special. The Cinque Terre comprises five charming coastal villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. These ancient villages have developed along the steep cliffs of the Ligurian coast, creating a breathtaking landscape of terraces, vineyards, and colorful houses. A distinctive feature of the Cinque Terre is its unique architecture. The houses crowd the slopes of the mountains, with characteristic stone steps that serve as terraces. These terraces not only create space for homes, but are also used to grow grapes, olives and lemons. The terraces of the Cinque Terre are famous for their vineyards, which produce the prized Sciacchetrà wine. These vines are located on slopes so steep that the grapes have to be picked by hand. Walking through the vineyards and lemon groves offers a unique experience that will make you feel at one with nature. One of the main attractions of the terraces of the Cinque Terre are the panoramic views they offer. The colorful houses overlooking the sea create an incomparable scene, with the deep blue of the Mediterranean clashing with the green of the hills. It is difficult to find a better place to enjoy such a spectacle, especially at sunset. The terraces of the Cinque Terre are not only fascinating to look at, but also offer numerous opportunities for hiking. The paths that connect the villages offer breathtaking scenery, with views that change with every step. Among the most famous trails are the Sentiero Azzurro and the Sentiero dell’Amore, both perfect for exploring the terraces and admiring the natural beauty of the area. The Cinque Terre were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. This recognition is justified not only by the beauty of the villages and terraces but also by their historical importance as an example of how man can adapt to the surrounding environment. Visit more than one village: Each village has its own unique charm, so don't limit yourself to just one. Explore more than one to get a complete view of the Cinque Terre. Taste the local wine: Try the famous Sciacchetrà, but don't forget the fresh seafood dishes and local specialties. Plan ahead: The Cinque Terre can get crowded during the tourist season, so plan your visit in advance. Respect the environment: The Cinque Terre terraces are a natural treasure, so be sure to respect the environment and follow local rules for conservation.
Cinque Terre is one of the most fascinating and unique destinations in Europe. Its combination of breathtaking landscapes, history, and local culture makes it an essential place for lovers of natural beauty and authentic experience. Whether you are looking to relax in an enchanting environment or want to explore unspoiled nature, the terraces of Cinque Terre will offer you all this and much more.

La nascosta Casa delle Viti in Vico del Bottone a Sestri Levante. Quando si percorre il centro storico della cittadina di Sestri Levante si passa in caruggio e si va a vedere la Baia del Silenzio. Tra i pochi vicoli nascosti nel centro però c’è qualche angolo nascosto che in pochi conoscono e riescono ad apprezzare. Come questa vite che si arrampica fino al tetto della casa, chiamata appunto “La Casa delle Viti” che solo chi percorre vico del Bottone conoscerà.
In Sestri there are three vine houses: one is in via della Chiusa, the other is this one and the third is in Vico Marina di Ponente. They fascinate me a lot and I would be curious to see the pergola at the top of the building, maybe one day they will invite me there!
Maybe there are still others (and please let me know) around the town. Have you already seen one of the three vine houses of Sestri or some other town? Add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

The many bunches of grapes of the Casa delle Viti in Sestri Levante. Finally I passed by via della Chiusa equipped with a telephoto lens and I managed to take a couple of photos of the beautiful bunches of grapes of the vines that climb up this building in my town. This is the house in via della Chiusa, probably the most well-known and photographed one that I have already told you about (here).

Grapes are the fruit of the vine (Vitis vinifera) and other species or hybrids of the genus Vitis. The bunch is composed of a stalk (very rarely called a stalk), and numerous grapes (also called grapes, these are berries), small in size and light in color (yellowish-green, yellow, golden yellow) in the case of white grapes, or dark in color (pink, purple or bluish violet) in the case of black grapes.

Grapes from the vineyard of a Casa delle Viti in Sestri Levante. Those who frequent this site (or at least know Sestri Levante) know that in my town there are three so-called vine houses. They are called this because on the facades there are vine plants that climb up to the top floor of the buildings. Last autumn, after a long time, I also managed to see the beautiful bunches of grapes that these vines produce and I decided to document them with a photo. This is the house in via della Chiusa, probably the best known and most photographed one that I have already told you about (here).

I fiori della pianta della vite. Una foto molto particolare di fiori: quelli della vite. Non sono molto colorati e i petali sono verdi e poco sviluppati. Dopo pochi giorni si trasformano nel cacchio!
I fiori sono riuniti in infiorescenze a pannocchia, dapprima erette, poi pendule (grappolo composto). Un grappolo è formato da un asse principale, detto rachide, che si ramifica in assi laterali a sua volta ramificati. Nello stesso grappolo possono essere presenti ramificazioni di II, III e IV ordine, generalmente decrescenti dalla base verso l’apice. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia.
La vista da Trigoso. Se guardate la foto senza leggere il titolo del post forse potreste pensare di essere nel Langhe o in Toscana invece siamo in Liguria alle spalle del borgo di Trigoso. Da qualche anni infatti, un imprenditore, ha investito molto su queste basse colline ripulendole e piantando molti filari di vite. Devo dire la verità che la vista non mi dispiace. Ah, dimenticavo, l’imprenditore è Pierluigi Lugano e la cantina si chiama Bisson.

Terraces above Corniglia in the Cinque Terre. Some call it heroic agriculture and from this shot you can understand why. Even if we think back a few decades, when there weren't even the small racks that today, at least in part, facilitate the transport of people and things in some places. Dry stone walls and terraces, created by man to cultivate the vineyard overlooking the sea. In the background the village of Corniglia, the town in the center of the Cinque Terre.

Vines suspended above Monterosso. The Cinque Terre, but practically all of Liguria, are difficult lands: few flat areas and many hills, if not even mountains, that drop sheer to the sea. As almost everyone knows, Ligurian man, for centuries, has not given up cultivating the few lands that steal space on the steep sides of the hills, terracing as much as possible and planting vines and olive trees. Very famous, from this point of view, is the coast of the Cinque Terre in Eastern Liguria. Here, for example, you can see some vine plants just above Monterosso.

Colline dei Fieschi. La Liguria non e’ una terra votata alla vite, sicuramente di piu’ all’ulivo, ma comuqnue ci sono spesso tra le varie colline alcuni filari di piante d’uva. Questo e’ lo spiazzo che sta di fronte alla Basilica dei Fieschi (a Cogorno) e sicuramente questo appezzamento di terra faceva parte dei possedimenti della antica famiglia nobiliare.
