3 of us, including a teen are going to Italy in June. Our itinerary is starting to come together.
We plan to stay 4 nights north of Cinque Terre. I found a great condo in Bonassola. I read that it might not be the best town to stay in, too small, not many options for eating and even though Levanto is 4 min. by train it could be miserable to use daily in June due to the crowds. The accommodations in Levanto are not quite as ideal and also a little more expensive.
This is our relaxing part of the trip. We may take a boat trip or train in the evening to Cinque Terre 1 day, but mostly want to hang out at the beach, paddle board, bike, relax eat.
I guess my main question is how miserable is it to catch the train back and forth to Levanto in June? and does Bonassola have enough restaurants?
Thank you
