Found excellent wine bar in Levanto, La Cantina dei 1000, on 48 via Garibaldi
Loved this holiday. It was the first time we arranged a walking holiday and would certainly do it again and would use Inntravel. The walking at the beginning and end of the holiday was, for us, the most enjoyable because it was less busy on the routes. Walking from Monterosso was busier but all the locations were absolutely beautiful. The trains were super efficient and all in all a great holiday.
The breathtaking views of the 5 Villages of the Cinque Terre and the coastal views when walking the routes supplied were astonishing. The natural history of the area was also spectacular with plenty of wildflowers in bloom and butterfly species abundant, there was also a good range of bird species both resident and migrant; I will never forget the first day when we had Beeaters flying overhead.

Restaurant recommendations from previous walkers were great. La Loggia in Levanto was superb. We also discovered L'Oasi in Levanto which had fabulous seafood.
This was our first experience with Inntravel - we had an excellent week in this beautiful area, despite a couple of dodgy weather days. The walking offers plenty of options (even if most are uphill!!), with clear and well presented route notes. Hotels are comfortable and friendly, with the Porta Rocca upgrade well worthwhile in our view.
This was a very special holiday - walking on my own in the more untravelled paths of the Cinque Terre. Strolling through vineyards and olive groves, taking in the unique hillside fragances of herbs and flowers, stopping to admire the amazing hillside scenery, taking time to reflect in the atmospheric churches and to top it all the breathtaking villages of the Cinque Terre. Thank you Inntravel for organising a perfect itinerary.
The views on the different walks were stunning and to get to those stunning views involved much uphill stretches with some sharp downhills. We calculated that over 5 days of walking we walked up and down Ben Nevis twice! A walking pole certainly came in handy.
The holiday as a whole was fantastic. In these thought conditions (with COVID-19) we still managed to have one of the best holidays of our lives. I will definitely recommend using Intravel and will do so in the future.
This was a really well constructed holiday, thank you to all at Inntravel who helped us with suggestions, working around flight cancellations and alterations. It became a fantastic two week holiday.
We would recommend extra days in Montorossa and Portovenere to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We also had two days in Pisa, using one of them to visit Florence. The add on at Camogli was also really enjoyable.
The Ligurian Coast is beautiful, having never visited before we were amazed at how generations have developed this hilly area. We ate at many excellent restaurants. Travelling by train is easy and lets you enjoy the coastal scenery.
We particularly enjoyed Cafe del Mar in Levanto - the meals were excellent, two of the best we have had in years!
Tratorria da Iseo in Portovenere was really good for seafood.
As usual Inntravel did all the hard work for us and we just had to turn up and walk!
Thanks for making a holiday possible in the lottery of Covid regulations. At short notice you organised our trip, for a small premium organised our flights and rail travel, and we had the security that everything was covered by ATOL should lockdown or restrictions be imposed. You also showed flexibility when we wanted to extend either side of the walking holiday, and we booked our own apartments so we could cook rather than eat out every night. You made it happen for us, and it was wonderful.
We loved this holiday, the walking, scenery and accomodation. Apart rom 3 days in Portovenere, which we found too long, the stops were about right. We were fortunate that the crowds were less due to Covid. I am not sure how we would feel in 'normal' times - it is certainly very popular.
We thoroughly enjoyed our walking holiday to the Cinque Terre. The organised walks were excellent and we would never have seen as much as we did if it hadn't been for the professional and easy daily guided notes we had from Inntravel. The hotels were clean and staff friendly. Portovenere was certainly our favourite with a spectacular view from our room especially waking up to that sunrise every morning. Don't hesitate to book this holiday. If you enjoy walking and don't mind a few hills here and there it was certainly worth the climb , the views are breathtaking!
personal highlight was walk from Monterosso to Vernazza and the sea swims. Sorry I hadn’t taken 2 swimsuits!
A hugely enjoyable holiday. Lovely countryside, good walks and comfortable accommodation.
Too many personal highlights to single one out! It was all very good and really enjoyable. In fact our third Inntravel holiday has more than met our expectations yet again!
All the walks had highlights of their own. We did not do the last walk in Portovenere as it looked difficult. With hindsight we should have bought some walking shoes. Not much occupational health and safety on these walks, but I think that is just Italy. Australia is a bit of a nanny state, so there was quite a marked difference!
We're pleased you enjoyed the holiday. In our holiday notes, we do recommend sturdy walking boots or walking shoes with a good grip due to the rocky nature of the terrain.
We loved this holiday - one of the best we have had with Inntravel. The scenery is spectacular and the villages, although touristy and crowded, are pure picture-book material. We were pleased we chose to do the add-on in Camogli, from which we had a lovely walk over to Portofino. The various options of walking or using trains or ferries to get back to base offered a nice variety - you can get great photos from the ferries.
In Levanto we can confirm that La Loggia is extremely good, and would advise getting there early if you want a table outside.
For really good aperitivi, we can recommend Controventro in Levanto.
In Monterosso, L'Ancora della Tortuga is excellent, but you must book ahead, probably before you arrive in the town.
In Portovenere, we would recommend La Marina, and also Trattoria Tre Torre which is excellent and where we enjoyed the best meal of the holiday.
In contrast, Pizzeria Il Timone in Portovenere was very disappointing, but this was the exception - generally the food throughout the week was really good.
Incredibly well organised and enjoyable holiday. Walks slightly steeper than we imagined. Think amount of climbing and descent could be emphasised. We thought the description of parts of the walk between Monterosso and Portovenere as “vertiginous “ was excessive. It was less vertiginous than the path through the vines between Valestra and Corniglia, and caused unnecessary anxiety. The paths is more difficult, but that is due to the fact that it’s very uneven in places and required some scrambling. It is not vertiginous!
We particularly enjoyed restaurants Ely, Osteria and Le Marina in Monterosso. Restaurant Oasis in Levanto was superb. More expensive, but the best in town according to hotel owner. In Portovenere, Le Bocche, at the entrance to the harbour was perhaps the best restaurant of our trip. Couldn’t fault it. Ristauranti Galileo in Pisa [city add-on] was recommended by hotel. A must. Totally authentic, no tourists other than us. Immaculate surroundings, great food & wine.
