Volastra: Find accommodation in the Cinque Terre area

Choosing accommodation in Volastra means deliberately opting for a small, elevated village in the Cinque Terre area — and therefore a different location than right by the coast. If the landscape of the Cinque Terre National Park, the area’s connection to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a specific local cultural site matter for your trip, you can compare a holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel here according to the location that suits you best.

Volastra is a small frazione of Riomaggiore in the province of La Spezia in Liguria. The historic village lies in eastern Liguria and belongs to the Cinque Terre area. At about 330 metres above sea level, Volastra should be classified as a higher-altitude accommodation base in the Cinque Terre hinterland, not as a place located directly on the coast.

Which location is right for your trip?

The most important decision concerns the character of the location: in Volastra you choose a higher-altitude place in the Cinque Terre area and not accommodation directly on the coast. This classification helps you more clearly determine the desired mix of landscape, village visits and coast-related experiences before searching for accommodation. To do so, compare the current location of the offers and choose between a holiday apartment, holiday home and hotel according to your own travel requirements.
