Hello, Does anyone have contact information for Edi'S rooms? I've looked everywhere and can't find.....probably right under my nose. OR any other place you could recommend to stay in Riomaggiore or Manorola. We would like one of the least touristy towns, but think Corniglia may be too remote?
Thank you for any help you can give to us!

Kristi, For Edi's Rooms, you might try THIS website. Note that at this time of year, some agencies may be closed so E-mails may not be answered right away. You could also try THIS website. I believe this was previously operated as Mar-Mar Rooms. I've stayed with them in the past, and would certainly recommend them. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were great (no breakfast provided though). If you'd prefer to stay in Manarola and have a very large budget for accommodations, one possibility would be La Torretta. At the other end of the scale, the Ostello 5 Terre provides good, inexpensive accommodations (*NOTE: they have a STRICT lockout in the afternoon). The Italy Guidebook has other listings in various price ranges. Except for Corniglia, I don't think ANY of the towns could be considered "least touristy". When will your trip be taking place? I'd suggest pre-booking accommodations well in advance. Happy travels!

La Torretta is not cheap but not over the top expensive. Mthe Classic rooms at 170 euro, double occupancy, are very nice. There are a number of included benefits, breakfast brought to your room, free minibar, a welcome glass of prosecco on arrival, and free activities like guided hikes and wine tasting. We loved it there and hated to leave". My husband called it " most beautiful hotel in the world" which of course is an overstatement, but not by much at that price. I have no idea what the pricier rooms look like, but our Classic room was beautifully decorated, and had a balcony with sea view and an arbor covered with bougainvilla next to it.

We are travelling May 28 for 2 or three days, immediately following Venice. Hope this will give enough time! do you think Riomaggiore is a wise choice?
Thank you for any advice !

Kristi, Yes, Riomaggiore is absolutely a good choice (IMO). Via Columbo (the main street) is often fairly "lively" at night, especially in the vicinity of Bar Centrale when Mojito's are being served. There are some nice restaurants and although it doesn't have a sandy beach, there are some swimming areas and "sunning on the rocks" seems to be popular there. Cheers!
