monterossa, bonassola or portovenere as base in Cinque Terre?

I had wanted to stay in Vernazzo but there is nothing available. I have heard Monterossa is filled with tourists so I'm wondering which 3 options would be best?

I recommend Levanto which is a lovely town on its own is has easy accessibility to Cinque Terre.

I second Levanto - we stayed there and really enjoyed the easy access to the other villages but it felt worlds away from the tourist throngs. Good selection of hotels and restaurants as well.

I think all those places are filled with tourists. We stayed in Monterosso at the Villa Steno and were very happy with both the town and the hotel. After visiting all the other towns we were happy we chose Monterosso.

We found Vernazza the most crowded of the 5 villages.
