Where to sleep
As the villages of the Cinque Terre are not very large, the accommodation options are limited and therefore quickly booked out. We therefore decided to stay near La Spezia rather than in one of the villages. We ended up in an Airbnb in a small mountain village called Casté. It's a bit colder up there and we needed a car to reach our accommodation. In return, we had a great view of the Cinque Terre National Park. The accommodation was very large and had a lot of charm as it was very traditional. We had two cozy bedrooms, a large bathroom, a small kitchen, a living room and two terraces for 90€ a night! In addition, our host, Giacomo, was very kind. He gave us figs and homemade jam and gave us the best tips for excursions, restaurants & co!
