Sleep Well
From the most affordable options to those with a private terrace. All with private bathroom, air conditioning, soundproofed windows and a safe.
Mid-range
The room guests ask for most often: a double with its own balcony overlooking the street.
It's the right place for morning coffee, or for a glass of wine in the evening when you're back from the Cinque Terre. Private bathroom, air conditioning and soundproofed windows, as in all our rooms.
Prices vary with season and availability. Write to us for an exact quote — we reply quickly.
Mid-range
Our standard room, available in three units identical in furnishing and fittings.
Double bed, private bathroom with shower, a desk and all the space a couple needs. If there are three of you, we can add a single bed on request.
Prices vary with season and availability. Write to us for an exact quote — we reply quickly.
Mid-range
The largest of our rooms without an outdoor space: a spacious double with the option of an extra bed.
Suited to families, or to anyone staying several days who needs room to move and somewhere to put the suitcases. The bathroom is larger too, compared with the standard rooms.
Prices vary with season and availability. Write to us for an exact quote — we reply quickly.
Superior
Our best room: the largest, with a private terrace furnished with table and chairs.
If you're after a restful stay with an outdoor space of your own, this is the one. Both the room and the bathroom are more generous than in all the others.
Prices vary with season and availability. Write to us for an exact quote — we reply quickly.
Budget
The most affordable choice, without giving up anything essential.
A little more compact than the others, but with the same furnishings, the same private bathroom and the same care. Perfect for anyone out all day who just wants a comfortable base right in the centre.

Included in Your Stay
What you'll find with us, with no hidden costs and no surprises on arrival.
On-site private parking, under video surveillance, with keypad access; we give you the code on arrival. €24 per day. Spaces are limited, so it has to be booked in advance together with the room.
Book directly with us and you get the best rate: no booking commission, exactly the same service.
Free both before check-in and after check-out. If your train leaves late in the evening, your bags stay safe with us and you get your last day without dragging suitcases around.
Every room is covered by secured Wi-Fi 6 at up to 2.5 Gbps, with a dedicated LAN socket (cable not supplied). Fine for working remotely too.
Soundproofed windows, air conditioning, soft lighting and a comfortable bed: the bare minimum for actually resting.

Two minutes on foot from the station and eight from the ferry terminal: you reach the Cinque Terre in minutes, without a car and without the hassle.
When you arrive we help you plan your stay: tell us how many days you have and what you enjoy, and we'll put together a realistic programme — train times, trail conditions, ferries, where to eat without ending up in a tourist trap. It's the kind of advice only someone who lives here can give you.
Our Story
Where We Are
La Spezia is the gateway to the Cinque Terre. From us the station is a 2-minute walk: no car, no hunting for parking, no time wasted.
Approximate times for the Cinque Terre Express regional train. Always check the current timetable before setting off.
The Area
The Cinque Terre are only the beginning. From La Spezia you can reach, in a day, five UNESCO World Heritage villages, a gulf of bays and castles, and some of the finest art cities in Italy.
Five villages of colourful houses perched above the sea, linked by train, boat and footpaths. The first one, Riomaggiore, is just 8 minutes away by train.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site like the Cinque Terre, but far less crowded. The church of San Pietro on the cliff, Byron's Grotto and the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. Reached by boat from Molo Italia or by local bus.
Across the gulf: Lerici castle, San Terenzo bay and Tellaro, one of Italy's most beautiful villages. Perfect for a quieter day by the sea.
The Sentiero Verde-Azzurro links the five villages along the coast. Some sections require the Cinque Terre Card and may close for maintenance or bad weather: always check they're open on the day.
By train from La Spezia: Pisa in about 1 hour, Lucca 1h30, Florence 2h30, Genoa 1h20. You can visit them and be back in the evening without changing accommodation.
Trofie with pesto, focaccia, La Spezia stuffed mussels, Monterosso anchovies and Sciacchetrà, the sweet wine of the terraces. Ask us for our favourite addresses: they're not the ones on the main street.

Common Questions
Check-in is from 10:00 to 12:30 and from 17:00 to 19:00; check-out is by 10:00. If you're arriving outside those hours, let us know in advance — we can almost always work something out.
A two-minute walk brings you to La Spezia Centrale station, where the regional train leaves for Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso: the first village is only 8 minutes away by train. Alternatively, the ferry terminal is 8 minutes on foot.
If you plan several train journeys in one day, or intend to walk the paid trails, the Cinque Terre Treno Card almost always works out cheaper. You can buy it at the station or online: when you arrive we'll help you pick the right option for your plans.
Yes — we have private parking under video surveillance with keypad access: €24 per day. Spaces are limited, so it always has to be booked in advance together with the room. Parking in the Cinque Terre is far harder and more expensive: it's worth leaving the car here and travelling by train.
We accept cash, credit and debit cards. The municipal tourist tax is paid at the property and is not included in the room rate.
Of course — luggage storage is free and always available: you can arrive early or leave late without dragging your suitcases around.
At reception we speak Italian, English, French and Spanish. If you need help in another language, write to us before you arrive and we'll find a solution.
No, breakfast is not included in the room rate. Within a few minutes' walk there are several bars for a proper Italian breakfast: when you arrive we'll gladly point you to our favourites — the ones we go to ourselves.
May, June and September offer the best balance of weather and crowds. July and August are the hottest and busiest months: in that period it pays to set off early in the morning. April and October are ideal if you like walking.
No, unfortunately we can't accommodate pets at either property.
