8/10 Good
"The hotel was gorgeous- the staff was amazing, the location was perfect. There was one flaw. The WiFi was horrible on every floor except the lobby - it was constantly dropping and since cell signal in the area was bad we would have trouble utilizing the internet to find restaurants, buy tickets etc…. I am sure they will get the WiFi fixed and those hotel will be great. Even with the WiFi issues, I highly recommend it."

"The hotel lobby vibe is very energetic and positive. The staffs are amazing and helpful. My room is on the first floor with no lift access and they help us to bring up to our room and carry it down for check out. I had an injury of my wrist and needed ice compression and they were very kind to give me the ice pack for free. However, room is slightly cramped for 2 30” luggages"

"Excellent location , walking distance from the La Spezia train station, which was also the starting point for our journey to see several of the villages of cinque Terre. Our host Simonetta got in touch with us before our visit to confirm arrival and was there to greet us at check in. She gave us excellent advice on how to see as much as we could in one day. Be aware it is a small group of private apartments all in one floor of one building, but it is not a hotel. The apartment was spotless and bright, large enough to spread out , and had a small fridge. The Air Conditioning was a ten out of ten, which made all the difference for us. Highly recommended!! We would stay here again!"
