Location was excellent and host was very helpful.

Stayed in August 2025

The apartments are in a 2nd floor with many stairs, but in La Spezia and cinqueterre small light luggage is a must, so it didn`t bother us

The apartment is clean and comfortable, only 2 blocks away from the train station. Diego, the host was very kind and helpful.

The location, the stuff

Could use a safe.

Upon making the reservation, I received a message through booking from Diego about the accommodations. He then contacted us through WhatsApp as he sends video instructions on how to find the room, and how to use the 3 separate keys to access it. The room that we booked was huge with high ceilings, excellent AC and even a balcony lined with flower boxes. Our room included a queen bed, two nightstands, a wardrobe, a desk, a small fridge, TV, kettle, and a large mirror. One bottle of free natural water was included. There are charging sockets above both nightstands. The bathroom has plenty of space and the water pressure is good. The apartment is on the second floor and there is no elevator. It’s about 53 steps up and involves three separate keys to access it. The door is one of those antique doors with an old-time key, and that can be a little challenging for people who have not used those before. However, Diego is quick to assist if you struggle with it (like I did). The windows are also antique and not incredibly soundproof as you will hear the traffic or nightlife (especially Friday night) outside a bit-didn’t bother me as I use earplugs. This apartment is very close to all you need in La Spezia, including restaurants, shops, and even a supermarket. It’s very close to the train station-about a four minute walk to the left as you exit the train station. Checkout time is early-9:30am.

Diego is one of the best hosts I've ever met. He was extremely responsive and helpful. A clean and very comfortable room just a five-minute walk from the main station.

Not much to be honest. Diego is always there to help in case you have any issues.

Location location location! The property is just 5 mins walk away from the la spezia central station. Diego is one of the best host I had a chance to interact with. Extremely responsive and helpful; he makes you feel at home. I would definitely stay here again if I am visiting cinque de terre. Strongly recommended.

Excellent accommodations -- a clean and very comfortable room just a five minute walk from the main station. Many cafes and restaurants nearby. I highly recommend Vivi 5 terre.

Nothing. It was all excellent

There was nothing to dislike about the place. Any place one could nit pick about but this place was really great. The host was super helpful, understanding and accommodating with our needs. I would really recommend this place to stay. 5 minutes from the station, right above shops and 2 minutes walk from the main attraction road. All must see places within 15 minutes walk of this location.

This is a great apartment for the money. Diego helped us with the check-in and recommended the best fish restaurant in Italy, where we celebrated our birthday. And in the morning he brought two balloons and a present for our princesses. It was very sweet.

It's two long flights upstairs. Hauling up bags in our 70s was not fun. But, Diego nicely carry them down stairs for us! Otherwise, a great place to stay.

Diego, the proprietor, is the best example of a host. He is super friendly and super helpful. And he is mostly there on site, unlike these Phantom proprietors we frequently come across in rentals. The location is a 2 minute walk to the train station and a 25 minute walk to the marina. A few steps away from a supermarket and a main pedestrian thoroughfare with all the shops and restaurantsyou could want. The room condition looks like they built it yesterday. Really really clean and well maintained. There is a parking garage literally under the building. Or 1 minute away is the train station long-term parking

Minor point. No glasses yet there were was a corkscrew. It didn’t concern us because we travel light but stairs might bother some but in these grand old European buildings that’s the way it is. A beautiful staircase though.

Location. Good communication with Diego. Good sized room. Good bathroom.

Diego was really hospitable. We actually had an accident and he helped us with bags going to the train station. Without this kindness we would have been in a difficult position. Thanks so much. The hotel room was also perfect.

Very close to the train station for Cinque Terre. The hotel had easy self check in with many instructions and contact details if needed. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was clean. They had someone clean the room each day also. They had tea, biscuits and what not in the hallway which was a nice touch. Diego was very helpful!

Location was excellent being very close to the train station. We made this our home base for 3 nights to explore the Cinque Terre. The room was spacious and shower was large and the bed was comfortable. Property was walkable to the main points of interest and to the water front. We also took a 20 minute bus ride from Maralo bus station to Porto Venere which was very nice. From the town you can walk to San Pietro church which was worth visiting. It has a very nice harbor with shops and restaurants. We took the ferry back to La Spezia which was very picturesque and relaxing.

The property was clean, comfortable, and an easy walk from the train station. The views were beautiful and Diego was an amazing and helpful host! He went out of his way to bring us our daughter’s tablet that we forgot in our room after we checked out. We had an amazing time!
