Cinque Terre

Starting to plan a trip and wondering if later March timeframe would be ok to visit Cinque Terre?

I was there in March a couple of years ago as part of a Rick Steves tour, and thought it was a good time to visit. Weather was pleasant, and the masses of cruise ship visitors, and others had not yet arrived.

It would be OK for missing some of the densest crowds but not all accommodations may be open yet for the season, the ferries will not be running yet, and unrepaired winter damage or spring rains could close the hiking trails, if hiking is on your agenda.

Where I got the ferry info (this site is a very good resource for the CT, BTW)
