We can’t describe how beautiful and spacious this renovated 150 year old home was. It had all of the modern touches guests expect, and yet retained character and charm with exposed ceiling beams and original stonework. We really enjoyed having wine and appetizers each night on the balcony overlooking the street. The hosts were truly special and communicated with us before and throughout our stay. Giolio and Martina went out of their way to make us feel at home. They provided enough food and supplies (including some vino) for us the day we arrived to avoid us having to run to the grocery. They also had an array of helpful maps of the area, parking tips for our car, and restaurant recommendations. The apartment is ideally located just a short walk to the marina, buses, and train station. There is an elevator to help get you and your luggage to the 4th floor which was much appreciated. I would also highly recommend the restaurant Vicolo intherno next door. The food was outstanding for lunch and dinner, and the owner, Patricia, made us feel welcome and had excellent recommendations for us.

Good location Check in with Giorgio was great Beautiful apartment Comfortable Could not have been better

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The condo is super lovely. The owners have done an outstanding design of the unit. Location is excellent in the heart of La Spezia close to many great restaurants and coffee shops. Also close to grocery stores and a city market. It's only a short walk from the water and ferries to surrounding seaside villages. We'll be back.

This is a perfect property and our host was kind and informative regarding everything we could ask for whether it was information or towels to take to the beach. I'd highly recommend staying at this property if you love a thorough and attentive host who owns a special property in the heart of the action!

Beautifully situated, gracious host, easy walk to the train station and ferry! We'll definitely come back next time we visit La Spezia!

Perfect place to get to know Spezia and the Cinque Terre area. Very close walking to the train and to many restaurants of the area. Super comfortable and beautiful apartment. Would love to be back someday.

The experience was great. Not only was the property clean with comfortable beds and space, Martina and Giorgio made the stay very comfortable by thinking of everything one might need during the visit: Info/maps, coffee/tea, drinks and fruit in the refrigerator, a bottle of wine, even some umbrellas in case of rain. The details were very thoughtful. The location is approximately a 10 minute walk from the train station which allows easy access to Cinque Terre. It is located near restaurants, fruit market, grocery stores, pharmacy, etc. My family would stay here again. Our only regret is that we didn't stay long enough and did not explore La Spezia.

Giorgio and Martina are fantastic hosts. Giorgio was there to meet us with a friendly welcome and took time to explain the layout of the wonderful apartment and give some first class tips on places to see, eat etc. Indeed all communication with Giorgio and Martina throughout the booking process and during our stay was quick, helpful, super-friendly and informative. La Spezia itself is highly underrated and has a laid-back, friendly vibe (just like our hosts!). The apartment is exceptionally well equipped and was a joy to stay in. Martina and Giorgio add some much appreciated welcome touched that make this feel like a home from home. We are already planning our return. Thank you so much Giorgio and Martina.

This apartment is a must stay in La Spezia. Recently renovated, well equipped, clean and comfortable. Our hosts provided for every comfort. Fresh fruit, candy dish on the coffee table, disposable razors in the bathroom. Can’t imagine a better place to stay at any price. You won’t be disappointed!

The apartment is absolutely gorgeous, and Martina and Georgio are the consummate hosts, providing many of the little extras that make all the difference, from coffee pods to wine, fruit, and maps of the Cinque Terre. The neighborhood is pretty noisy: it's a the heart of town, and things get raucous when the windows are open. But when they are closed, the sound is very effectively sealed out. The location is convenient in many ways: farmer's market, waterfront, groceries, pharmacy, and restaurants are all nearby. We took Georgio's advice and went to Il Bergone for dinner one night: the meal was magnificent! We highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to stay in the heart of La Spezia!

Giorgio & Martina are wonderful hosts & have provided a lovely, clean, welcoming space with many special touches. The location was central for accessing the train station, the wonderful market, and the boats to Cinque Terre, & Giorgio provided lots of info & advice during check-in. A delightful find in La Spezia & home base for exploring this beautiful area!!

We have stayed a million places on our family adventures. I am not exaggerating when I say this was one of the most beautiful, most comfortable, and most enjoyable to date. We were floored with the style and taste of decor, level of attention to detail, and the location. Can't wait to come back. Martina met us at the door and welcomed us to her beautiful apartment. She gave us a tour of her place, recommended boat tours (thank you!), restaurants, things to do, etc. The space is absolutely clean, the kitchen well stocked with everything you need (one of the best we've been to!). Comfy bed, thoughtful touches, quiet neighborhood. Location was superb - 3 minutes walking distance to local market with lots of fresh produce, lots of restaurants and café, shopping. We felt very much at home at Martina's place. THANK YOU! We'll be back!

We spent four nights here and felt right at home! The hosts are amazing and the location cannot be beat!

Martina and Georgio’s apartment is a home away from home. They have put much thought into meeting a traveller’s needs from the welcome food treats and wine to the recommendations for local activities. Exceptionally clean and well appointed. Georgio gave us a warm welcome and we appreciated his hospitality. La Spezia has much to offer and the location gave us a sense of being part of the community.

The apartment is stunning and the hosts were spectacular. The bedroom balcony overlooking the church was perfect for morning coffee as was the street-front balcony for evening wine. Great location for restaurants and an easy walk to train and ferry. Exceptional amenities to make our stay comfortable! An in-house dinner and breakfasts were easy thanks to nearby market and well stocked kitchen. A perfect apartment for calm and comfort after days in Cinque Terre or a great choice for a long-term stay to sample life in Italy.

Host went above and beyond to accommodate special requests, including setting up a private past-making class at the apartment. Location was excellent, steps from the mercato and the action of the central city.

Highly rated place, almost wish to keep it to ourselves lest the reservation becomes more difficult.

We had originally booked to stay here in 2020 but, due to COVID travel restrictions, had to cancel. The cancellation process was seamless and having spent some time researching properties before initially booking we were keen to select this property when we were actually able to travel. We were not disappointed when we finally got to the property and were met by Martina who provided us with a huge amount of information on the local area and some great restaurant recommendations. The property was spotless and very comfortable with a great welcome pack which included milk, bread, coffee and a very nice bottle of wine. We would happily stay here again as the location was ideal for exploring the Cinque Terre by both train and ferry. There was also a market nearby and a bus stop which allowed us to visit Porto Venere for the day.

We had a very wonderful stay at this beautiful, sparkling clean and well-appointed apartment. It is in a great location, the host is as kind and welcoming as you could ever hope for, and they've taken great care to ensure all your needs are met and your expectations are exceeded! Also in a great location that is an easy walk to/from the train station and ferry, and some fantastic restaurants are right outside your door. You will not be sorry that you booked this beautiful apartment that has been recently renovated; we loved it!

Wir haben uns in der Wohnung von Martina und Giorgio sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung ist mitten in der Innenstadt - Hafen und Bahnhof nur 5min entfernt, Restaurants und Geschäfte direkt vor der Haustüre. Die Wohnung ist wirklich sauber und mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet und es wurde an alles gedacht. Vielen Dank für das frische Obst und die Getränke bei unserer Ankunft! Und dann auch noch frisches, selbst gebackenes Brot - absolutes Highlight!! Der Kontakt zu Martina war super schnell und unkompliziert. Danke für die Restaurant Tipps - es hat überall geschmeckt :) Liebe Martina & Giorgio, wir bedanken uns für einen tollen Aufenthalt in eurer Wohnung! Alles Liebe

We had an excellent time - the apartment was outstanding, the location great, well suited for family with a 2yr old toddler and the host is marvelous! She went out of her way to make us feel home, incl. complementary wine, fruits, sweets and small local breakfast. In addition, she had great local advice on where to have dinner, gelato, etc. We definitely recommend!l staying here!

Martina is the perfect host. Her apartment is spotless and has everything you could require. Matrina is very thoughtful, the apartment has a selection of fresh fruit, soft drinks, light snacks, a coffee machine complete with pods and a lovely bottle of wine. She has provided all the information you could need from train timetables, ferry times and a selection of nearby good restraunts. She is a lovely person, very helpful and kind.. If you can afford this apartment and it fits your dates book it now you will not regret it. Fantastic in every way.

Martina war eine sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Die Wohnung befindet sich in zentraler Lage und ist sehr schön.

Die Wohnung hat eine sehr gute Ausstattung wo besonders im Sinne der Gäste auf wertvolle Details geachtet wird!! Die Ansprechpartner vor Ort sind sehr hilfsbereit.

After staying in great apartments in Paris & Rome this one beats them all. The fruit, bottle of wine, coffee & mini breakfast tickets were so welcoming & enjoyable. The apt. is so beautiful, comfortable & very organized. Giorgio was so helpful in so many ways; we loved the map. We walked to shops, coffee shops, restaurants for just a few blocks. We will surely recommend it & return in the future. Thank you so much Martina & Giorgio.........Cristina, Patrick & Natalie

This property and the owners(Martina and Giorgio) are absolute dreams. The apartment is located about a 10 minute walk from the train station close to many restaurants and stores in a central pedestrian area. The apartment was spacious, completely updated and gorgeous with every amenity available (washer, air conditioning, cooktop, lavatory, etc). Martina and Giorgio have thought of everything and are so hospitable you truly are treated to a five star experience. Can’t recommend enough!!

Appartamento molto bello, posizione centrale molto carina, tutto studiato con cura e dettaglio ; super pulito! Complimenti ai proprietari, davvero molto ospitali . Da consigliare!
