The Cinque Terre are five colourful fishing villages clinging to the cliffs of the Italian Riviera, linked by coastal trails, trains and boats. Rooms in the villages themselves are few and book up early, so La Spezia and Levanto are popular cheaper bases with quick train access.
Looking for cheap hotels in Cinque Terre? RoomsCheap compares hotel deals from the biggest booking sites in one search, so you can find cheap rooms in the right neighborhood — not just the lowest price in the wrong one.

April–June and September–October are ideal for hiking. July and August are hot, crowded and priciest; many places close in winter.
La Spezia usually has the most choice and the lowest rates, and Levanto is another good-value base; both are a short train ride from the villages.
Monterosso has the most hotels and a beach; Vernazza and Manarola are the most photogenic but have fewer, smaller places to stay.
No. Parking is very limited, and the local train links La Spezia, the five villages and Levanto several times an hour.
