I just got back last week from my Cinque Terre experience. I can’t recommend the new hostel in Manarola enough. The people are so friendly, the salad for dinner was huge and excellent, the prices were cheap, and it was clean! My only warning is to avoid doing the trail between Corniglia and Vernazza when…
My husband and I were in Cinque Terre last weekend 2-5 July, and hiked the trail between Monterosso and Vernazza. We found the “blue trail” though now there is also a “red trail” leading out of Monterosso. We took the blue only to find that it is no longer maintained and in several spots, we…
My wife and I just returned from a trip to the Cinque Terre region and it’s all you say. My one word of caution would be the Pensione Sorriso in Vernazza. While I made reservations months in advance, I alone with others were “bumped” for a larger party. I found the conduct both rude and…
I was in Cinque Terre at Easter 1999. I went with some friends, we stayed in the new youth hostel, it was very nice. Luckily we had booked three weeks in advance. A lot has been done for the tourists in recent years, the via dell amore tunnels have been constructed, elevators and walk ways…
I think the Cinque Terre is the best place I’ve ever been, and not just for the beautiful hiking and villages. The people who live there are great, and there’s a special friendly spirit among the travellers who stop there, cooking meals together and sharing nice apartments by the night. While you could get a…
Hello, My boyfriend and I just came back from a trip to Italy. Our favorite stop was Cinque Terre. We can’t wait to go back. We arrived by car and parked in the car park in Monterosso. Although it was a little difficult to reach by car, the drive was beautiful. We stayed the night…
We (my husband, myself, our two sons aged 14 and 18, and the oldest girlfriend) were planning a four-day holiday for the Ascension weekend. [a 3 day holiday in Switzerland]. Out of all the places we could have gone to, I settled on Cinque Terre. Your home page was my starting point, and after having…
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…
With a nostalgic heart I visited your website today. In May-June of this year, my friend and I travelled to Europe and planned to visit Riomaggiore for several days. Upon our arrival we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the place and the warmth of the people. We ended up staying for 15 days and…
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…
