Day 11 (see my Italy page for our full itinerary)
Monterosso al Mare was our home base for the Cinque Terre region. It was not our first choice. We really wanted to stay in Vernazza, which we had heard was the prettiest. As it turned out, Monterosso al Mare was just fine. It may not be as pretty or as secluded as the other towns, but it has a character all of its own.
Monterosso al Mare most resembles a typical Italian Riviera town with its hotels and a nice beach. The difference is that it is much smaller and much less crowded.

after some clues for train from pisa to cinque terre havent been able to find it!!!!
such a beautiful area
great overview of the region. no view, but it sounds like a great hotel!
Great page!!! This part of Italy is on the top of my travel wishlist! I've travelled quite a bit in Italy but missed this part so far. I don't know why though... it looks so beautiful!!!
A lovely page and great pics ! & It is nice to see another Monterosso-page !
very nice place !
wow walking 5 hours would be hard going but fortunately you don't have to, the train sounds great. Each sounds like they have character of their own.
Have been to the CT twice, returning again in June. Nice pictures..thanks for sharing..
monterosso the only beach but the less charming!!!
That trip between the five villages woulds really nice!! Great Page!
