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 for 1999 when it was a bit too hot for us Washington Staters.

I made good use of your information on the Cinque Terre this year and despite having to go there for the last two weeks of June my two friends and I had a fabulous time. It was too hot to do much walking though but we did enjoy the exquisite villages, the sea and also…
