Pignone Anchorage

Tucked into the hills of the Ligurian hinterland, this anchorage near Pignone village puts you in a quieter corner well away from the busier Cinque Terre crowds, with the terraced hillsides and chestnut forests giving it a distinctly rural, unhurried feel. The small medieval village of Pignone itself is a short trip inland, worth exploring for its stone lanes and local character. Depths are generally workable for moderate-draught vessels, and the natural surroundings offer reasonable shelter depending on conditions.
