For those travelling without a car, this apartment could not be more convenient for train travel; you can see the station out the back windows and from the private garden. The owners met us at the station with their car and transported our luggage. Following they provided an in depth orientation to the area, and provided recommendations of their favorite places to eat and things to do. Although we did not make use of the complimentary bicycles, Levanto was certainly a bike friendly town. We usually explored the Cinque Terre region during the day and returned to Levanto at night for dinner; and the cuisine did not disappoint. Our favorite was Da Rino. If I would have one suggestion it would be that, although the owners generously encouraged us to use anything we found in the cabinets or refrigerator, left behind by others, there should be a clean sweep of these things every now and then. Overall, I would highly recommend this property as a place to stay when discovering all that the Cinque Terre has to offer.
