The five villages of Cinque Terre are lovely. However, they can be awkward to get to with luggage and they are small. I’m staying at Portovenere, a lovely village just to the south of Cinque Terre. There are regular ferries (Euro 25 for a day pass) that go from here to the five villages, and it is also an easy drive. Besides, Portovenere is lovely village.

Don’t Go to Italy in July and August
Well, OK, any time is good to go to Italy, but summer is both hot and crowded. If your schedule allows a visit in spring or fall you will have a much more relaxed time. I’m in northern Italy at the moment. The weather is fine. Things are uncrowded. It’s a very relaxing time to be here. There is a reason why Roman emperors avoided Rome during the summer months.
