I totally agree with Charles, you cannot have the best amenities in a small village. If you are looking at the coastal areas, such as Porto Venere or Lerici, prices are extremely high there. The Cinque Terre area is beautiful, but I would not live there. Great for a visit, though. It took us five extended trips to the area and plenty of discussions to get what we wanted. You can also rent a place for a while and see how you go. And try to be there at the worst possible time of the year.... say November or February when nothing much happens around. Things look different during the high season.
