Its obvious everyone has different experiences. My family of 4 traveled to Italy in July, stayed 3 nights at la Spiaggia, had a great apartment, and two excellent meals included each day. We found owner Andrea Poggi fun and witty, though I can see how some might view him differently. Everyone is looking for something…
I found the most beautiful place in the world this summer – end of August, when I was with my husband and my dog – Cinque Terre. We were there by car. At first we were in Corniglia, which I love. I love Italy, but I don’t like mass tourism. I like Corniglia because there…
I am a recently retired teacher. I just returned from Italy with my daughter and sister….a wonderful trip. However, in Monterosso we had a frightening experience with a proprietor of the La Spiaggia Hotel. Even though promised a great room…and we were so tired we took the room shown…was adequate for train weary people. However…we…
I spent a weekend in Cinque Terre in late May (2001). My fellow college student friends and I went to the tourist office outside the train station. We were put in contact with a woman who rents her extra apartment overlooking the square in Monterosso. We got it for about $25 a night per person…
We just got back from Europe and one of the highlights of our trip was our visit to Cinque Terre. It was everything I expected and more. I have been to Italy many times, but not to wonderful villages like these. I thought that most of the people there were there to hike…but this is…
My wife and I have just returned from Italy, and spent three days in the Cinque Terre. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Booking accommodation through the web can be risky, but we were lucky. I can recommend the apartments run by “Affitta camere Vesigna Edi” in Riomaggiore. The apartments were clean, comfortable, had character, and very…
I just returned form a trip to Europe which included four days in the cinque terre. My daughter and I stayed at Monterosso and found the resort to be quite lovely – yet expensive. We stayed at the hotel 5 Terre for 260,000 L per night. Even though we had reserved with my credit card…
My girlfriend and I just got back from Italy and Switzerland. I am not sure you will post this notice – but here goes. Please cease and desist from posting comments on the Cinque Terre on websites such as this. It is being over-run by Americans. Note, this is not America-bashing. I’d say the same…
Last autumn, my family visited Cinque Terre (staying in Manarola) after learning about it on your web page. I wrote some notes (a few months ago!) but I forgot to send them to you. Now that I have remembered, I am enclosing them below so that you may enhance your pages if desired. Hopefully it…
Just back from Italy and spent 2 days in CT, what a find. We stayed at Casa Capellini in Manarola and were in awe of the view from our apartment I can’t wait to get our photos back. We did attempt to hike to all 5 towns however we found the heat to be very…
