Cinque Terre {Monterosso}

We had 2 nights in Monterosso, Cinque Terre.

If you are ever planning a trip, i would highly reccomend Albergo Marina.

Simple, clean, reletively affordable, but with cute touches like beach bags & towels in the room, a fabulous breakfast {a rarity we have found in Italy} and, what they call 'afternoon refreshments'. Home made pastas, fruit & coffee - basically lunch is included :)

We spent our day doing the 8km round trip hike from Monterosso to Vernazza, and then swimming & having a great seafood dinner.

Fish with olives, capers, cherry tomatoes, butter & herbs anyone?
