Nearby touristy area, but very pretty scenery. If you can ignore the hordes of tourists, you'll have a great time. There is a train that takes you to and from each of the 5 towns. Check out my VT page on Manorola, one ot the 5 towns that make up Cinque Terra. Informative website below on the area, including Sarzana and Lerici.

Sarzana is the capitol city of the Valley of Del Magra. A lovely hamlet located just 15 minutes inland from Lerici. Pretty town with absolutely no tourists, quaint cafes along with two castles behind the town to explore. Really great little town.Check out my VT page on Sarzana. The website listed is a history of the entire area.

Q: Is Lerici a good base to explore the Five Lands?

A: Lerici is very nice itself, but it could be not a good base for "5 terre". You should have to go to LaSPezia first and then 5 Terre.
