Great accomodation. The location is very convenient, a short walk from the station and you are right in the middle of the cozy and lively city centre, with plenty of affordable food and drink options. La Spezia seems cheaper than other Italian cities. This is a good spot for a visit to Cinque Terre, which is only a 15-minute train ride away (to Riomaggiore). I liked the room, I liked the location but most of all I liked the communication from hosts Davide and Emanuala who ensured we could easily self-check in late at night and kept us informed via WhatsApp with information (and photos) about entry codes etc. They also gave very useful information about the Cinque Terre and made a great breakfast.

The only constructive feedback I have is that the window curtains were see-through, so I imagine the appartments on the opposite side of the street can see into your room when you have the lights on.

The place is great. Davide met us at the property and explained everything. We gave us a map and suggestions on places to visit, as well as, places to eat. He was great at communication when we needed him. The room was very pretty with artwork all around including the ceiling. Our room faced the street but we could not hear any outside noice. A/C was great. There is an elevator which works great when you have luggage but it's only 3 flights up (for us Americans although it's a 2nd floor for Europe). Stairs are great. We chose to have breakfast and it was AMAZING. Well worth the price.

Good location. Less than 10 min walk from train station and lots of restaurants/shops nearby. Easy entry and self check-in (instructions via WhatsApp). Good wifi. Clean, with all amenities including water and a fridge. Easy to leave luggage for the day and come back to get it on the way out of town. Blankets were warm enough and bed had 2 outlets. Cute decor and was quiet overall.

Privacy - the door was glass with just a thin curtain covering it. While this room was at the very back, this was terrible because it is very easy to see shadows through it. The walls were thin so I could hear people in the next room - they need to replace curtains with blackout/thicker curtains that easily cover the windows on the doors. I had to push my luggage against them to try to ensure more privacy but in the morning the sunlight flows right into your eyes from these curtains. The building was a bit confusing at first to navigate and no elevator.

I chose La Spezia as a base for visiting Cinque Terre and it was perfect. This B&B was so lovely, unique decorated, great located in the city center and a few mins walk from the train station. Many restaurants, shops nearby, tiny little streets that you could just walk back and forth, everything is so beautiful. The staff are very kind and flexible with the check-in. The breakfast was delicious, diverse and prepared on site. Davide offered me the map of the surroundings with great recommendations of the cinque terre, beaches and restaurants.

There was a dog barking a little bit at night and a neighbor with a noisy tv volume but I closed the balcony door so it was okay.

The staff was amazing. A charismatic guy called us earlier to ask our arrival time, met us at the door and showed everything. He recommended us restaurants and places to visit. The breakfast was excellent, it surely exceeded what I expected at a place like this. Location was very very good. Close to everything you want to visit. Everything was really clean.

This is a room in a apartment. You will have neighbors. Ours arrived late, were talking loudly, ate and washed dishes at 00:00. We heard everything. The place need renovation or just a man with equipment and several hours. Our door handle was loose, toilet was not stable. There's no air conditioning, they even informed us about this earlier, there's a good fan, yet it was loud and it was not easy to sleep (some maintenance needed).

Great location in the heart of La Spezia with many restaurants right outside the door and about 3 block walk to main train station. Manager was extremely responsive to all messages. Breakfast was excellent: coffee, breads, juice, fruit, eggs/bacon, yogurt, pancakes.

No a/c in the rooms which was no problem in October but we kept our window open at night for the cool breeze, but our window faced the Main Street with lots of people talking on the street till 1am. Bring earplugs if you can not sleep thru street noise.

The location was perfect as it was about 10 minutes walk from the station. Very easy to find. Davide sent the code so that we could check ourselves earlier than the regular check in time. There is a lift to the floor which was supposed to be operated by key but we were able to use it without a key. Breakfast was included and was fantastic. Jagoda prepared the breakfast on request. Lovely fresh fruit salad, croissants, pancakes, plenty for the day ahead. Great shower for those coming back from trekking. Thanks Jagoda. Davide was very helpful in rearranging our booking at short notice

Nothing.

Location is perfect in the middle of La Spezia, staff are super helpful, breakfast is amazing, can help yourself to hot drinks whenever, rooms spacious.

Would have loved air conditioning, we were there mid June and already hot. There is a fan above the bed but it's a bit noisy. But this place really is great!

We were welcomed in the best way possible by the manager. He and the rest of the “Racconti di mare”family made us feel like one of them. The rooms are amazing and every small detail has a thought behind it. Location is perfect - in the heart of the city . If you are looking for an extraordinary and amazing stay in La Spezia - “Racconti di mare” is highly recommended.

Excellent location, close to the train station and on the main street. The room was great, every day you have 2 bottles of water for free and chocolates. Thank you for this attention. Delicious homemade breakfast and excellent attention. I will be back again. 100 % recommended. Thank you for allowing me to do the check-in earlier.
