What if I told you that in the infamous Cinque Terre, those ancient fishing villages that the whole world envies, a national pride and UNESCO World Heritage Site, and along the Costa di Tramonti, the coast that stretches from Portovenere to Riomaggiore, there lies a fishing village perched over the sea still unknown to mass tourism that offers unimaginable surprises to those who wish to visit? A seaside village literally clinging to the mountain and hanging over the sea, accessible on foot via a staircase entirely handmade by the locals, and perhaps this is one of the reasons that has kept the crowd, which normally jostles between the caruggi of Riomaggiore and Vernazza, away from this dream location. I like to think of these places as a hidden treasure of Liguria to be jealously guarded, and Schiara di Tramonti is one of them, a pearl by the sea. Continuing through dry stone walls and expertly crafted vineyards, we reach the first settlements of Schiara and the charming little church of San Antonio. It is believed that Schiara got its name from being the first village to receive sunlight in the morning, and also the first to be left in 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. From the Church of San Antonio, the verticality of this settlement is clearly visible, literally clinging to the mountain. These are the homes of fishermen and farmers who once populated these lands; today, most are used as holiday homes or as a base for vineyard cultivation. It is a place out of this world, and not just in a metaphorical sense. Here, time seems to have stopped, but it is not a negative feeling at all; rather, the peace and tranquility that this place instills is hard to describe. In this fishing village, we offer for sale a delightful stone house with a terrace overlooking the sea, classified as "residential," on two levels consisting of a room with a cooking area on the ground floor and a spacious room with a fireplace and a loft on the upper floor. The surface area is 54 square meters. The property needs renovation with an estimated cost of around €80,000.00. To reach the sea, near the house, there is a path that leads to "o scao" as the locals say, meaning the landing of Schiara, among the boat shelters and the fishermen's shacks, or the beach of Cantun, which is quite wide, pebbly, with some sandy stretches at both ends. In this paradisiacal place, you will find before you the Ferale Rock, a sandstone rock in a pyramidal shape, on top of which is a cross, which in the past represented the devotion of sailors. Beyond the necessary difficulties to reach this hidden corner, once here you will feel like you are in paradise, and it certainly will not be the journey to get there that will deter you but the strong desire to continue dreaming. Here, alone and away from the hustle and bustle of the world, you will feel free and happy, almost invincible.
