Ostello Cinque Terre
In manarola is the largest hostel in the area. book well in advance.
Ostello Corniglia
In the historic center of corniglia, has two small dorm rooms and private rooms.
Bed&Breakfast Marisa
(http://www.bed-and-breakf...). nice family-house b&b in monterosso.
B&B La Torretta
Beautiful B&B with sea view in Manarola.
Ostello Tramonti
Is actually in biassa, not any of the five towns, but is accessible by bus from la spezia and riomaggiore. a word of warning: the last bus up the mountain runs at about 8pm, and you don't want to hike up in the dark.
Monastery of S. Bernardino
Above corniglia, offers accommodation for about â¬60 per room.
Da Baranin B&B
(http://www.baranin.com/). provides rooms with b&b treatment and apartments in manarola.
Cinque Terre Holidays
Hostel in riomaggiore. â¬40/person, but these are rooms with a view! high up on a hill with a stone balcony overlooking the sea in front and a terraced mountainside on the side. be warned that this hostel has gotten very mixed reviews on review sites.
Campgrounds
There are a few campgrounds where you can rent a tent with two beds and linens for very low prices. Note that none are inside the national park area but quite a few can be found just to the north of the park in the touristy but pleasant town of Levanto.
Camping Aqua Dolce
Near the town center and about 200 meters from the beach.
Pian di Picce and Albero 'd Oro
Are situated next to each other a bit more inland, at about 1000 meters from the beach but closer to the railway station at about 200 meters.
Other campsites can be found south of La Spezia and further north around Deiva Marina. Levanto is a better option though because it is serviced by the park-run train service connecting all five villages as stated earlier.
It's advisable to try to book in advance when arriving in late June, July, August since these sites tend to fill up quickly during that period. Many hotels, including the hostel, book up in months in advance.
