Colors of Cinque Terre

Perfect base for exploring Cinque Terre and wider region by train (only 5 minutes to central station). Friendly host shared lots of helpful information, even before our arrival. Maria gave information about places to visit and breakfast stops in the immediate area. Although located on a main street, leading straight to central predestrianised area of shops, bars and restaurants and marina, very quiet at night. The local church bell chimes at quarter past, so don't be late! 😂Room excellent, clean and well-equipped with many extras eg iron, kettle, fridge. Our only tweaks would be a firmer mattress (which is obviously a personal preference) and a couple of reusable cups/glasses/spoons available.

The room itself was very spacious and charming. As was the building. Very clean and properly maintained. The heat actually worked for a change. My issues were all related to door security. The instructions for keypad usage were delivered via WhatsApp. A little confusing because the outer door keypad was very flaky. The common area keypad worked well but the 2nd floor was frequently unlike. The door to the room was the worst. The key didn’t seem to move the deadbolt at all. Was it electronic ??? We ended up apparently leaving the room open day and night. Although we found it locked when returning. Didn’t like that at all. But I would stay there again. Just insist on a good explanation of their security.

Freshly decorated room with spacious bathroom. Five minute walk to La Spezia Centrale train station elevator.

We had a great stay for two nights. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was much appreciated. Whenever we had a small issue or question, the host responded immediately and resolved it very quickly. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and we would definitely recommend staying here.
