We stayed at Monterroso and was so cute.   The village only had 500 occupants and was super quiet at night and quaint during the day.  Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating and we had some rain which prevented us from exploring the trails.   We were able to walk through the village and took the train to Vernazza, the village nextdoor.   

These villages have local fishing and the group was able to enjoy the local harvest at dinner that evening!
