You just won't have much time in each and you will need to rely more on the train than hiking. You're trip will probably be fastest if you leave from Milan's central station.Katherine Belarminohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089374131733088265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740245040261653150.post-69549343442269031502017-07-06T05:39:10.754-07:002017-07-06T05:39:10.754-07:00Hi Katherine.

Would we able to do a day trip and visit all the other towns. We will be coming from Milan. Would you be able to tell me which station from Milan would be better to get the train?

We've spent the last 4 hours researching and watching videos while comparing the two options and have decided to stay at Vernazza: Gianni Franzi as it looks amazing :) Now to decide on whether we should go to Venice or spend the rest of our time in Tuscany :) Thanks again :) Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002663943168205967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740245040261653150.post-55783706293065096472017-02-04T10:37:35.475-08:002017-02-04T10:37:35.475-08:00Hi Thomas. Thank you very much for your kind word...Hi Thomas. Thank you very much for your kind words. If we were going back to Cinque Terre, we would absolutely stay in Vernazza again, and hopefully at Gianni Franzi. Vernazza was by far our favorite town. They all get crowded during the day because they are so popular with tourists, but Monterosso was the busiest with cruise ship tour groups. If you stay in Vernazza, you have to be okay with lots and lots and lots of stairs. I looked at the website for the hotel you found in Monterosso and it seems very nice as it is a small boutique hotel, plus it has great reviews on TripAdvisor. I'm sure you will have an amazing time in Cinque Terre no matter where you stay. But my personal preference is Vernazza.Katherine Belarminohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089374131733088265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740245040261653150.post-53417700978988283382017-02-04T03:46:39.030-08:002017-02-04T03:46:39.030-08:00Hi Katherine.

My wife and I are heading to Italy the first week in Aril and plan to visit Venice, Cinque Terre and Florence, Tuscany. <br /><br />We were planning to stay at hotel Pasquale (http://www.hotelpasquale.it/) in Monterosso Al Mare although you mentioned there were a lot of resorts there and quite touristy. Maybe we should reconsider. If you were to go back where would you stay? Would you recommend staying in Monterosso or Vernazza, (Gianni Franzi) as you mentioned. We love to dine and drink wine. Any additional feedback would be appreciated.

To be honest, the entire town is quiet at night, but our room was especially quiet because there are only a couple rooms on the floor and we were very high up, which meant a lot of stairs but also an unbelievable view. We did not book a suite, but a double room with bathroom en suite. The exact room is <a href="http://www.giannifranzi.it/images/room_35.jpg" rel="nofollow">Room 35</a>. I remember the beds as being adequately comfortable, nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. More importantly you can hear the sea at night, which makes any bed more comfortable.Katherine Belarminohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089374131733088265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740245040261653150.post-24421060424675375282014-01-19T16:48:21.985-08:002014-01-19T16:48:21.985-08:00Katherine, your information is fantastic.
