Where to stay
Content:
First of all you will need to decide in which of the Cinque Terre villages you would like to stay. Given that they are all connected by the railway line, moving between them is very quick and easy. We strongly advise you to book ahead; the hotels are booked out very quickly, especially during the summer months. We suggest you use the search facility you will find on this site to evaluate all the proposals for the national park of the Cinque Terre.

Low-cost Hotels in the Cinque Terre
To save money, book your accommodation in advance. Most hotels do not charge cancellation fees. Pay attention to the hotels in La Spezia. It is a great city with a lot of parking and staying here is relatively cheaper (it takes 8 minutes by train to get to Riomaggiore). Moreover, it is easy to travel from La Spezia to Pisa or Florence for a day trip.
Vacations with children
The most important things for a vacation with children are the sandy beaches and attractions for the little ones. Only one of the Cinque Terre villages corresponds to these characteristics, Monterosso. The most suitable beach for the little ones, full of families with children and where there is plenty of clean sand, is marked on the map.
There are many hotels of all types in Monterosso (more info).
