Vernazza




Our earlier visit to the Cinque Terre was stunning and we were happy to stay in the same place. We remembered where it was but not what it was called.
We arrived from Florence, changing to the local train in La Spezia and walked down to the village square right on the harbour. The room we wanted was not available and they could only give us 3 separate rooms for the 3 nights we planned to stay.
Finally we found not just a room, but the perfect apartment. It has fabulous views over the harbour and the town. It is huge. The living / dining room has a marble floor and looks like a palace. In the photo, it is the rooms on the corner with the 2 balconies on the top floor next to the church, straight up above the tree right on the harbour.
We spent the rest of the day relaxing and strolling through the town.
Tomorrow, we walk

Sounds fantastic - but I bet all that marble is hard on your feet!

Does appartment living mean you're cooking for yourselves and thus avoiding the seafood?

Marble floors - great for putting your feet on if you get cramps in your leg.

We did cook but it is a pleasant break from restaurants every meal. They do have take away pizza.
