We are going to Italy in mid May, mature backpackers. We are particularly interested in visiting small seaside villages that are not too commercialised but still fairly easy to reach via train or bus. Any suggestions?

Cinque Terre is great. Definitely tourist discovered but due to lack of "major sites", has retained much of its charm and local flair. You can train in and either hike or train between the villages. Loved it, very picturesque.
