Camere Fontanavecchia

If you’re made it to Cinque Terra, you’ve won already. But if you find yourself in Vernazza and need a place to stay right in the middle of town (and I use the word town loosely, because it’s 5mins walk from one end to t’other) this place will do in a pinch. Get off the train, turn right, walk around a corner and there you are, pretty much the last place at the end of the street.
It’s clean, it’s neat, it’s super close to the train station if you’re lugging heavy bags, and all in all it’s a perfectly serviceable budget/​mid-​range hotel. The internet is a little patchy in some of the rooms — I found myself sitting out in the hall to get a signal, there were about 5 of us from different rooms out there all sharing a wine — but unless it’s pouring down you should be out and about getting your explore on anyway so that’s not a biggie. Plus, community. And wine.
