Corniglia is the only of the five Lands that stands on a hill about 100m above sea level: the panorama from here is truly wonderful. Because of its geographical compliance, Corniglia is life when compared to other towns: the tourist who stops in Corniglia is usually in passing and for this reason in Corniglia there are no hotels but only houses or B & B. the name of the place comes from the Latin Cornu meaning headland.
