Incredible old world experience. Have a small car. Parking is tight. Excellent dinner def have it and breakfast is delicious which is included. She is like my grandma so nice and caring. And he room is huge.
Driving up the coast we booked this via hotel.com on the afternoon of our stay and it was a real gem of a find. Situated in the hills above La Spezia it's a delightfully rustic and charming family run hotel and the rate, given the quality of our stay, was pretty amazing. Our room was fairly spacious with en suite bathroom and glorious views from the window across the hills and the wifi was very good in the room and on the patio. The drive up to the hotel is via a narrow winding road but there's room enough at the summit for parking and a very short walk to the hotel and up the steps to the rooms. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, despite a language barrier that wasn't really a problem at all, giving us maps to the local area outlining some of the best excursions. I really wish we'd found the place earlier and could happily have spent a few days here, but sadly had to dash north the next day to Milan. Our stay fell on my birthday and I can't think of a better place to spend it. I would most definitely give make a return visit. 10/10
We booked the room last minute for an unexpected overnight stay. The host was very accommodating to our request for a late check in. The place is beautiful, quaint, comfortable. The host even went out of her way to find us a bottle of wine late at night when we arrived. Nice breakfast in the morning. Would definitely recommend this little hidden gem.
The hotel has everything you need, the only thing is the location, it is a beautiful area but it's far, we had a good experience because the Owner was a great host and offered to pick up/drop off us at La Spezia Central Station EVERY DAY (Thank God, because taxis are €25 each way), otherwise you will need a car to reach the hotel.
Absolutely stunning property, very clean, topical house of the region, very cute and relaxing. We always go to big names chain hotels. And this one beat them all with it's character. Ones you are there you have to visit portovenere. It's the best of Italian riviera.

As the hotel said no parking, we had no car. It is a $25 Euro cab from LaSpezia train depot. Lovely setting however it is 15 min auto ride to town. Minimal bkfst at hotel and no food or drink service otherwise. Hotel Mgr speaks no English and is only person there. Minimal wifi svc in portions of building. Lovely spot to be totally alone and enjoy peace and quiet..otherwise find somewhere else.
Great place when you out find it it took me just 2 hours and 5 chat with locals. In the end a very nice man jumped in his car and I followed him for 10 minutes up a very small road to the top of the hill. The owner could not have been nicer. Interesting place
The best location to stay if you visit La Spezia or Cinque Terre with family. Located up on a hill top free from the hustle and bustles of Vehicular movements and the possibility to woke up to the live orchestra conducted by the Birds and the winds from the woods.
The host is really a helpful lady and very caring.
Things will be much easier if you have a Car as the location is situated on the top of an hill and public transport is not available after 6.30 PM from La Spezia.
We arrived with out a car in the late night and found us very lucky to get help from the kind host who took her car out just to pick us up to the accommodation and also drove us local restaurant in La Spezia for the Dinner in the late night.
Perfect place to spend a vacation.
Never ever same hotel! False info, false advertizing, wrong address on booking confirmation, bad indications on the road, nobody to welcome you at reception, lost entire day on the area, had to relocalize in real time! Please refund!
