Levanto, the beautiful village just outside the
Cinque Terre, stretches between sea and mountains
giving, through the clash of colour between land
and water, a natural sensation of beauty.
Surrounded by hills of pine-trees, chestnut-trees,
olive-trees and vineyards, Levanto embraces a
wide gulf, made at first of rocks, then of beaches
interrupted in the summertime by little bathing
facilities: Levanto's sea is an immense natural
gymnasium for all aquatic sports.
But Levanto is not only summertime, thanks to
its historic centre and to its paths, which connect
it with the Cinque Terre, offers to tourists an
unlimited season.
The surrounding territory and the Cinque Terre
paths are today Regional Park, that's why Levanto
has kept its natural beauty, its ways and customs,
its farming culture, that hasn't been modified
by the man despite the evolution of the times.
To art-lovers Levanto offers some important medieval
buildings, typical streets in town with grotesque
paintings, the medieval Loggia, ancient seamarket
and great resource of the village, with a recently
discovered and restored fresco of the year 1000.
We suggest you visiting the Church with nave of
S. Andrea, second town of the village, and a worked
rose on the white murble façade from Carrara.
then comes the imposing castle in strategic position.
Levanto is one of the most beloved holiday destination
of the Riviera of Levante.
