"The view was like a vision described in novels; a tiny town that hovered on jagged cliffs and sparkling blue water, and by no means did the 'visions' stop throughout the day..." ("A little piece of heaven, Cinque Terre" by Mary Paige Timberlake)

We selected these five hotels, from luxury, infinity pool cliff-hugging villas to quaint simple comfort - there is something for everyone and everyone's budget.
