It is the only one with a real long beach and beach clubs. It comes in two parts: Fegina, the newer area with the station and the seafront, flat and easy with luggage; and the old village, with lanes and small squares, about ten minutes&#8217; walk from the station.<\/p>\n<p>Pros: fewer stairs, more choice, a beach, and two pay car parks at Fegina and Loreto. Cons: it is the least vertical, least postcard-like village, and very crowded in summer. The right choice for a first visit, for families and for anyone mixing beach and day trips.

There are no large hotels: you stay in rooms, apartments and small B&amp;Bs in the old houses, often without a lift and with lots of steps. The station is in the village, a short walk from the centre.<\/p>\n<p>Pros: a unique atmosphere in the evening, once the day visitors have gone. Cons: few beds, high prices, noise near the square, and the centre is reserved for residents: drivers leave the car in private car parks on the road, 1\u20131.5 km from the village, with a shuttle.

It has fewer beds than the other villages, almost all in guest rooms and B&amp;Bs, and no beach: to swim you go down to the rocks at the Marina.<\/p>\n<p>Pros: silence, few crowds in the evening, the view from the belvedere. Cons: hard work with luggage, the shuttle stops early in the evening and boats don&#8217;t call here. The state of the paths matters too: the Corniglia\u2013Vernazza\u2013Monterosso section of the Sentiero Verde Azzurro has been closed since 10 September 2026, and the section to Manarola has been closed for years.

It is small with few beds, mostly guest rooms; there is no beach, you swim off the rocks by the harbour. From the station you reach the centre through a pedestrian tunnel, then everything is uphill or downhill.<\/p>\n<p>Pros: romantic and quiet in the evening, three minutes by train from Riomaggiore. Cons: few rooms, lots of stairs, a single public car park at the entrance to the village. Drivers can look at Volastra and Groppo, up in the hills and linked by the National Park bus.

It has a good choice of guest rooms, B&amp;Bs and apartments, a few hotels, the station in the village, a ferry landing and a little more evening life. The <a href=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/en\/cinque-terre\/manarola\/via-dell-amore\/\">Via dell&#8217;Amore<\/a> starts here, one way towards Manarola.<\/p>\n<p>Pros: a handy location for getting around, including to La Spezia and Portovenere. Cons: the village is steep, the beach is small and the public car park has few spaces. One extra perk: guests staying in the municipality of Riomaggiore, which also includes Manarola, can get the Tourist Card, which lets them walk the Via dell&#8217;Amore in both directions and outside their booked slot for the whole stay.

It is a proper seaside town with a long beach, Blue Flag in 2026, and the start of the path over Punta Mesco to Monterosso. The centre is a limited-traffic zone, but there is far more parking than in the villages.

It has the most hotels and the lowest prices in the area, and boats leave from Passeggiata Morin for Portovenere and the coast. Stay near the central station and leave the car parked.

For atmosphere, Vernazza or Manarola; for getting around by train, Riomaggiore; for quiet, Corniglia.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ir-faq\">\n<summary>Is it better to stay in the villages or in La Spezia?<\/summary>\n<p>In the villages you get the Cinque Terre in the evening and early morning, but you pay more and have less choice. In La Spezia you spend less, have more hotels and frequent trains: Riomaggiore is about ten minutes away.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ir-faq\">\n<summary>Where should I stay if I have a car?<\/summary>\n<p>In Levanto or La Spezia, where parking is easier, or at a hillside property with parking. In the villages the centres are closed to visitors and public car parks are few.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ir-faq\">\n<summary>How many nights do I need?<\/summary>\n<p>Two or three nights are enough to see the five villages at a relaxed pace, from a single base. With four or more, add Portovenere, Levanto or a day of hiking.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ir-faq\">\n<summary>Where should families with children stay?<\/summary>\n<p>Monterosso, for the beach and the flat walk between Fegina and the station, or Levanto, with a long beach, more space and more apartments.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ir-faq\">\n<summary>How far ahead should I book?<\/summary>\n<p>For May\u2013September, several months ahead, especially in the smaller villages. In low season a few weeks is enough, but some places are closed.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ir-faq\">\n<summary>Is Corniglia a good base?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes, if you want quiet and travel light. It is awkward with luggage, because of the 377 steps of the Lardarina or the shuttle bus, and the coastal paths from Corniglia are currently closed.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which village to stay in: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore, or outside in Levanto and La Spezia.
