We really felt like we were staying in a gorgeous part of Liguria. The view from the terrace was beautiful. Perfect place to relax after a long day sight seeing. Super easy to explore Cinque Terre, Sestri Levante, Portovenere, and Levanto. Idyllic, peaceful, and immersed in Italy. The owner is very helpful and the apartment is truly great. It has everything you need - washing machine, good size fridge, jacuzzi bath, lots of storage etc - so that you have the best time on holiday. Parking was easy too. We highly recommend.

Throughout our 10-day honeymoon in Italy, Antonella's house in La Spezia was by far the best accommodation we had (compared to other Airbnb and hotels). The location was very walkable from the train station and proved to be an excellent base to explore Cinque Terre. We had two large suitcases and we were so thankful that we didn't stay in any of the Cinque Terre villages (where there are many steps). The apartment was far larger than we had expected with newly renovated bedrooms and bathroom. Absolutely fantastic!

Great location, very easy to find because it is in the center of “new town” Monterosso. Very pretty building across from the sea. Maria was the most helpful staff person we have encountered in Italy. She went out of her way to explain the complicated ferry schedule and train options, gave us recommendations for restaurants and beaches, and was overall very pleasant and kind. Our room was small, and the shower door was a bit of a challenge, but I think that is common in Cinque Terre hotels.

Newer room located on main beach in monterosso, cinque terre. Area is in middle of town, walkable to all the restaurants and shops. Well traveled area with many tourists walking by but room is amazingly quiet. On arrival hotel staff met us at room for introduction. Three minute walk from train station. Bed was comfy, shower amazing for Italy, blow dryer in room. Small gated patio in front of room. I would stay here again.

The staff working there were unbelievable people!!!! They went above and beyond to make my girlfriend's and mine experience in Italy really enjoyable. They also tried really hard to help us get a hold of the courier who had my girlfriend's lost luggage. I cannot thank them enough for how enjoyable they made our experience and I will definitely stay at this hotel again when I am in staying in Cinque Terre!!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at La Cittadella! The apartment is extremely well kept, clean, modern, spacious, and well located. On top of that the host, Alfio, was incredibly hospitable and took his time to greet us and give us all the tips about the city and how to visit Cinque Terre. He even helped us find free parking for he car near the apartment building. I definitely recommend this place. A gem at La Spezia!

The property appears to be an apartment that has been converted into 5 hotel style guest rooms. They did a wonderful job with the remodel, everything is brand new and very clean. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioner works well. The location is ideal for accessing Cinque Terre as it is walking distance from the train station. The host was wonderful, very helpful during the easy check in process.

Adriana was so accommodating! We had asked about checking in early, and she let us drop off our things even though the last group had only just left. The location is perfect for seeing Cinque Terre, just a quick train ride from La Spezia. The apartment is spacious with big comfortable beds, a good AC, and Adriana provides a nice little breakfast in the mornings.

Paolo was waiting for us at the apartment as per the agreed time. He gave us some tips on what we can do on our trip to Cinque Terre. Best of all telling us the restuarant where we can get good food... it was very good that my family had our dinner during our 2 days stay in La Spezia. Our gateway to Cinque Terre ...not crowded with tourists.

Everything from beautiful remodeled apartment to the complimentary goodies provided by our host. The host even picked up my group of friends and I at the train station when we arrived and even offered us a ride back. Best customer service hands down I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Cinque Terre in Italy.

Surprisingly good breakfast. Location was perfect. Extremely easy to get from the train station to the hotel and La Spezia was extremely convenient for visiting the Cinque Terre. We also unexpectedly ended up having our best meal while in Italy at Trattoria Il Giardinetto in La Spezia, walking distance from the hotel.

Beautiful grounds, patio and pool. The view is amazing. It was a quiet stay. Everything worked fine and it was in close proximity to major attractions including cinque terre yet it is not in a touristy area itself. We tour Italy for 3 weeks and was about 15 towns staying in about 7 hotels. This place was the best!

Cute little room very close from train station. Great place to stay if you want to explore Cinque Terre. Free and safe parking for your car. Room was full of snacks and had bottles of water as well - very nice detail that we didn't even had in 5 stars hotels in Italy.

The staff were outstanding even provided shuttle service to railroad for cinque Terre trip. Breakfast superb. The staff and balcony views were the best of the 12 hotels we stayed at in Italy. And that is saying a lot. Relaxing family atmosphere and serene stay.

Brilliant location, a short stroll from the main street of La Spezia and the train station. An excellent base for exploring Cinque Terre and the surrounding towns. A wonderful and comfy apartment to retire to after long days of enjoying the best of Liguria!

The cousins who run the hotel go way above and beyond. They met us at the train station and helped with our luggage. The apartment was spacious and spotless and the view and patio were outstanding. Perfect landing point for visiting the cinque terre.

Nice and clean apartments in very good location, centre of La Spezia, walking distance to train station to Cinque Terre. Thanks a lot to Daria, the girl who opened up the apartment for us on the check-in, and for all the help she provided.

Very clean- we were sort of unsure how the whole “not a hotel” thing was like but it was basically just an apartment. Very clean very comfortable! Easy to hop on the train to other cinque terre towns.

Perfect for a family visit to the Cinque Terre area! Nice to stay in an apartment and not a busy hotel!

Breakfast buffet excellent & the waiter staff very friendly and very accommodating, always had a smile very morning greeted w hot coffee
