I stayed three nights in Camogli last May - lovely town, absolutely fell in love with it. Not touristy at all in May.

wayne,

I'd suggest either Monterosso or Levanto.

We enjoyed Santa Margherita Ligure with easy day trips to Camogli and Portifino.

I enjoyed staying in Rapallo in July 2014 ... nice long promenade along the water. Quite a large town so good variety of shops and restaurants. In terms of things to do, there is a funicular which provides a breathtaking view. Took day trips to Sestri Levante, Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, Genoa, and Camogli from Rapallo all using public transport ( bus and/or train). After having visited Santa M Ligure, I would recommend it as well as Rapallo. If you prefer small towns, go with Camogli. .. it's quite tiny compared to Rapallo and SML.
