We arrived in La Spezia by ferry from Cinque Terre and missed the taxi area at the dock so began walking toward the hotel looking for taxis. Note the last 1km is uphill and not good on a hot day. We were running late and the checkin staff personally drove down the hill to pick us up. They were wonderful and very thorough checkin. The hotel is not really walking distance to town but views are beautiful and the mini fridge is stocked with beverage options to sit and enjoy the sunset. Food delivery and taxi calls are easy.

Simply the staff .. the rooms are ok with some maintainance issues but the view is amazing and the staff are exceptional

Amazing staff, beautiful view, Good breakfast, nice room.

We stayed for fourteen days with a double room and everything was very good, especially the owners and the stuff were very gentle and nice. Also the room was very comfortable and clean with a great view over the city of La Spezia.

Carlotta provides a very well-run B&B experience. From the helpful and courteous staff to the exceptionally clean, modern rooms, her property perched up on the hill offers a phenomenal view over looking the city and port. Our room had a great panoromic view, but any of the guests can enjoy the view from the multiple terraces available for guests to kick back and relax. The breakfast room offers both indoor and outdoor seating with that same great view. A car was helpful getting in and out of town, but not necessary. The narrow, zigzagging roads might be a little intimidating to some---we found them exciting and part of the whole experience! For those without a car, some guests arrived by taxi or there was a walking path into town. As far as accessing dinner in the evening, there is a fantastic restaurant a little further up the hill or a multitude of great restaurants in town. Take out is also an option. We enjoyed 88 Miglia as a great home base for exploring Cinque Terre, Lerici, Tellaro, and other interesting villages in the area.

88 Miglia was perfect and the service was great, they are very helpful and welcoming.

Beautiful place with a beautiful view. Everyone there is helpful, and the breakfast is good. It is best if you have a car because it's far from station and there are not many places to walk to from the hotel. But after crowded, hot days in Cinque Terre, it was nice to get away from all the people and up the mountain where it was cooler and the view was amazing.

It was a beautiful spot, great view, great service and very close to the train, grocery store and marina if you're driving. Our room was a little damp but was very modern and clean. Highly recommend!

Simply put...amazing! Anything and everything was perfect and would recommend Carlotta to anyone!

(We traveled 9 days in Italy during what locals called the "off season" from March 6th to March 17th, 2015). We traveled from the U.S. 88 Miglia was spectacular. The best view in all of La Spezia. The hike to the hotel took us through a nice neighborhood with cool views. The owners were so nice and welcomed us well. We took the local train to Manarola and Riomaggiore in the Cinque Terre area (very close to La Spezia). We would visit 88 Miglia again!

Very, very friendly staff. They were assisting us any way they could. Good value overall. Would be much happier if we had a car (no car rental near the station or within 6 km radius from the station). Relying on taxis will set you back minimum 40€ each day just to get to the town or harbor and back to B and B. Bus is a more economical option, but their schedule may be a problem depending on the time of the day.
