I'm planning a trip to the "Italian Riviera." Does anyone know of a GREAT hotel in the Cinqua Cerra region, preferably a waterfront hotel?

If you did a search on "Cinque Terre", you just might find the info your looking for.

Levanto, which is a five minute train ride from the actual Cinque Terre area, is more of a Riviera beach town, with some very nice 'Riviera' type hotels. The beach in Levanto is longer and sandier than the CT beaches, and there are a lot more options for nighttime activities. You can hike from Levanto to Monterosso (3 hours) or catch the train which runs every 1/2 hour.

If you're looking for a great budget hotel on the water, try Hotel Caravella in Deiva Marina. It is a short train ride to the Cinque Terre and right on the beach.<BR><BR>http://www.wel.it/Welcome/Liguria/Ci.../index.uk.html

If you truly want a &quot; GREAT&quot; hotel then go to portaroca.it Best views in CT.
