Thanks for a great web site on the Cinque Terre! We have just returned from Italy and would like to say that Manarola was a base for our holiday. We stayed in an apartment belonging to Sara Barani. The apartment was spotless and very well equipped for self-catering. We would like to recommend their services and thank Sara and her husband for their kind hospitality.

Hi there, I love Cinque Terre — my favourite spot on my recent European vacation and you have lots of great information on your site. However, since there are so many backpackers through Europe (including myself) I think that Mama Rosa’s hostel can’t go w/o mentioning. As soon as travelers get off the train in…
Hello from Florida! I came across your web page this evening and it made me remember (not that I ever forgot) my girlfriend and I trip to Europe, of which Gimmelwald and Riomaggiore were our favourites. I just wanted to let you know you’ve done a great job on the web site!!! I enjoyed the…
