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 unprofessional. This was the only mishap for a beautiful area.

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’ve been to the Cinque Terre three times. The first we actually drove to Vernazza & stayed at Trattoria Gianni (ref Rick Steves). The last two trips we parked our car at Levanto & took the train to Manarola & stayed at Marina Piccola. All trips were in mid September & weather was fine except…
Mmm, that sounds good, I might have to try it with pacentta next time. I have sooo much pesto left over in my fridge now! I might be eating pesto for dinner for the rest of the week!
