Schiara
Tramonti: The Untamed Cinque Terre What if I told you that in the famous Cinque Terre—those ancient fishing villages that the whole world envies us for, a source of national pride and a World Heritage Site—and that on the Tramonti coast, the stretch of coastline that runs from Portovenere to Riomaggiore, there’s a fishing village perched high above the sea—still unknown to mass tourism—that offers unimaginable surprises to those who wish to visit it?A fishing village literally clinging to the mountainside and overlooking the sea, accessible on foot via a staircase entirely hand-built by the locals—and perhaps this is precisely one of the reasons that has kept the crowds, who normally jostle through the narrow alleys of Riomaggiore and Vernazza, away from this dreamlike spot. I like to think of these places as hidden treasures of Liguria to be jealously guarded, and Schiara di Tramonti is one of them—a pearl by the sea.
Continuing past dry-stone walls and artfully terraced vineyards, we reach the first settlements of Schiara and the charming little church of San Antonio. It is believed that Schiara owes its name to the fact that it is the first village to be touched by the morning sun—and also the first to be plunged into darkness in the evening. Schiara is the largest village on the Costa di Tramonti—or perhaps it would be more accurate to say the least small one. From the little church of San Antonio, the vertical layout of this village—literally clinging to the mountainside—is clearly visible. These are the homes of the fishermen and farmers who once inhabited these lands; today, most are used as vacation homes or as bases for tending the vineyards.
It’s a place out of this world—and not just in a metaphorical sense. Here, time seems to have stood still, but this is by no means a negative feeling; on the contrary, the peace and tranquility this place exudes are hard to describe.
In this seaside village, we are offering for sale a charming little stone cottage with a terrace overlooking the sea. Classified as “residential” on the property registry, it spans two levels and consists of a room with a kitchenette on the ground floor and a spacious room with a fireplace and a loft on the upper floor. The total area is 54 square meters. The property requires finalization, with an estimated cost of approximately 75,000 euros.
To reach the sea, there is a path near the house leading to “o scao”—as the locals call it—that is, the Schiara harbor, nestled among the boat shelters and fishermen’s huts, or to Cantun Beach, a decidedly wide, pebbly, with some sandy stretches at both ends. In this idyllic spot, you’ll find the Scoglio Ferale directly in front of you—a pyramid-shaped sandstone rock topped by a cross, which in the past symbolized the devotion of sailors.
Despite the challenges involved in reaching this hidden corner, once you’re here, it will feel like paradise—and it certainly won’t be the journey that makes you give up, but rather the strong desire to keep dreaming. Here, alone and far from the hustle and bustle of the world, you’ll feel free and happy, almost invincible.
