Very well located for the Cinque Terre, quiet place to stay.

Can't think of any.
In a nutshell
Porta di Cinque Terre!
Laerke Says: Dont miss out a morning walk if staying in Ridarolo. Early is always the best time to go if you want to make sure you have the mountains to yourself. Watch out for the figtrees...
royalempress Says: You can rent a boat here for the day or take out a charter.
oneonta_ni Says: There is not a lot in Levanto in the way of tourist activities but it is the perfect place for a family holiday and to unwind. There is a really lovely beach, a few ice cream shops and some nice restaurants. That's all I would want in a holiday!

Ristorante L 'Oasis: Wonderful Seafood
royalempress Says: Be sure and make reservations at this Ristorante as it's very popular. The food is really first class and the waiters very friendly. The restaurant is just off the Piazza Cavour.
Da Rino: Delicious pansotti di noci
oneonta_ni Says: Liguria is famous for its fresh seafood and this is a good place to get it. It is a small place but roomy enough with the tables outside. We had a lovely friendly waitress who had some English. The setting was a narrow pedestrian street in the older section of town. GF had...
Aurorae Says: Of course, as in most places in Italy, parking is a nightmare. In Lévanto everything is a pay parking. If you plan to park by the seaside/beach, not only that it will be impossible to find a pplace, but it will be hideously expensive even if you're lucky to get one. The rate...
Best mode of transportation is by foot
oneonta_ni Says: Getting around the town is easy because it is quite small. It is only about a 10 minute walk from the train station to the beach.
oneonta_ni Says: The train makes regular stops in Levanto going to and from Genoa and La Spezia.
Tourist tax at the train station
oneonta_ni Says: One morning we went to buy our Cinque Terre day tickets, which cost ý10.80 for the two of us. I gave the man at the station a ý20 note and he gave me ý4.20 change in coins. I was waiting for the ý5 note ( I saw him take it out of the till) but he seemed to be finished with...
Don't worry if you forget something!
oneonta_ni Says: Levanto has several shops selling things that visitors might need - from swimsuits to film.
Aurorae Says: When the sun comes up, the sea has enchanting turquoise colour! It changes to lead when it's cloudy, unfortunately...The rock that you can see far behind is a favourite spot for diving, however, it's fatal as on the top of it there is a vase with flowers with a note for...
Aurorae Says: In Lévanto you'll find all types of beach - sandy, pebbled, rocky or mixed. Sandy is very rare, though, and in most occasions it will be a small part together with pebbles. Also, you can find this ultra small almost sand alike pebbles.
Aurorae Says: There are PLENTY of scuba divers in Lévanto (in Italian they're called simply "sub" :-) but this guys were sooo FUNNY! Have you ever seen scuba divers crawling out of the sea?! I haven't! All the others were walking out normally, but these twop were hilarious!
Aurorae Says: On the rocks the sea will splash (the waves dasshing against the shore) creating white foam over the rocks. I love to watch that. If you like it too, then go to the end of the beach where the rocky area begins, as you won't find it on the main city beach (the one overcrowded...
Aurorae Says: The sea at the beach is quite different, depending from where you positioned yourself. In the "open sea" beaches (those unprotected by huge molos) you'll always find big waves and very upset sea, that will roll the pebbles and sand and make the entrance a bit murky. If you...
Aurorae Says: The other side of marina was odd, because although it was summer, most of the boats were out of the sea and covered, as if "stored" for the winter! Maybe it's a rain protection, I'm not an expert, but it certainly looked peculiar.
Aurorae Says: Lévanto has a HUGE marina, one of its fraction you can see on this picture, and behind is the small beach. The main beach with umbrellas and lots of beach bars is on the left side. Marina was very busy (of course, it was summer :-) and in spite of the gloomy weather and very...
Aurorae Says: And this is the rocky part of the beach, coming directly into the sea.

Lévanto is a lovely, litle town at the Ligurian sea, just in front of the famous resort of Cinque Terre. There is a very big pebbled/sandy beach with rocky molos, and the sea is clear, but a bit...

Very close to the Cinque Terre
If you want to visit Cinque Terre I recommend that you stay in Levanto . It is only a short walk or train ride to see the 5 towns. I really liked the beaches, the best in the area and the town had...

Forget about Levanto, look for Ridarolo
Staying in Ridarolo with my boyfriend turned out to be one of the best things we did visiting Italy. It was like a dream come true. Nevertheless, the first night was horrific. Never have I witnessed...
