Bästa stället!!
Vi blev så glatt överraskade när vi kom fram efter en slingrande bilresa! Det var som en dröm. Det gamla stenhuset var så vackert och speciellt. Rummet vi fick var inte stort men mysigt och smakfullt renoverat. Utanför fönstret hördes fågelkvitter annars var det helt tyst! Värdinnan var otroligt gästvänlig och trevlig och berättade om platsen och husets historia. På kvällen åt vi middag i restaurangen och maten och vinet var fantastiskt gott! Detta är ett ställe jag varmt rekommenderar och tänker återvända till!

Um local bonito e super calmo. Excelente para descansar. A sra apesar de aterefada, porque era a mesma para fazer tudo não deixou de prestar todo o apoio necessário. Já chegamos de noite o que não facilitou porque é um pouco escuro à volta. O pequeno almoço é bom!!! Tbm existe a possibilidade de refeição completa por 15€, mas não experimentamos.

4/10 Fair

Cordialità, cortesia ed accoglienza inesistenti. La prima colazione non solo è inesistente ma non è compresa nel prezzo, sono riuscito a prendere un cafè dopo aver atteso i comodi della proprietaria e l'ho dovuto anche pagare, quindi non è vero che la colazione è compresa nel prezzo. In tre giorni non mi sono mai stati cambiati gli asciugamani ed il letto a stento veniva rifatto. Le pulizie della camera erano quasi inesitenti. Il posto è incantevole, la struttura è molto bella ed è inserita in un contesto di pace e tranquillità, peccato solo che la cortesia e la cordialità non sia stata quella che contraddistingue il popolo ligure.

Nada ldilico.
El hotel Tiene muy difícil acceso, muchas escaleras y las habitaciones a través de túneles en obras. Lo malo es que no tuvimos Agua caliente por la noche y por más que se le llamó para pedirle que nos la pusiese fue imposible , hasta la mañana siguiente no nos pudimos ni duchar cuando veníamos de la Playa. En fin , para mi nada recomendable.

A gem of a find in the hills above La Spezia
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

Beautiful secluded gem!
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.

Great Host
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.

mezzo-mezzo
Hôtel indiqué par des pancartes et heureusement car il est situé dans un village vraiment isolé. Cadre très calme et bucolique. Parking un peu éloigné de l'hôtel et marches à grimper. Accueil sommaire en italien ou un peu en anglais. Chambre très propre mais manque d'insonorisation. Nos fenêtres donnaient sur la terrasse et si vous tombez en même temps que des clients bruyants, vous les entendrez dans tout le village. Déçue que le restaurant annoncé n'existe plus. Le wifi marche bien.

Best property of the region
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.

Isolated
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.

A great find but hard to find
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
