I had an incredible stay at Sweet Dreams! Massimo contacted me the day before my stay, and we kept in contact as I was arriving and throughout the duration of my stay. He greeted me as I approached the stay for check-in. Massimo and his wife’s hospitality were spectacular! Massimo went over a map of La Spezia with me and provided a few nearby recommendations. Sweet Dreams is in an ideal location, with Dolce Magie (incredible pastry shop) within a few minutes walk, a daily produce market within a 5 minute walk (except Sundays), 10 minute walk to La Spezia Centrale, and a 15 minute walk to the harbor, if you want to talk the ferry to Cinque Terre (I highly recommend!). My room in Sweet Dreams was very comfortable and the location is pretty quiet. I was very well taken care of at Sweet Dreams, and it was the perfect home base while I explored the Cinque Terre! I recommend this stay to anyone looking to stay in La Spezia or wanting to explore the Cinque Terre, without as large of crowds.

The location is mostly quiet, with the exception of Fridays with the street market, which was pretty loud and made the street incredibly crowded and more overwhelming to get where I wanted to go. This is no fault of the owners, just something for other travelers to be aware of. Otherwise, my stay was perfect!

Firstly, Massimo and Cinzia were excellent, so helpful and friendly also Cinzia's son Fabio helped with some of my questions. The location is great, close to the train station, restaurants and even a huge market outside the door on one of the days I was there. Having the train station was great for trips to Cinque Terre, also close is the harbour for boat trips to Cinque Terre, which was very pleasant. Massimo helped so much with this boat trip and even sent me directions to the boat. My "Shabby Chic" room was very well appointed with a very comfortable bed. Being an "old" guy on one of my first trips travelling alone, again Massimo was so helpful with his suggestions and kindness. Will definitely stay there again when in the area.

Leaving...

It was the perfect accommodation for staying in La Spezia. 2 minutes walk to the centre. 10 minutes walk to train station (for going to Cinque terre). The room was clean and tidy. The bed was perfect for our backs. Nice to have a jacuzzi as well. Massimo and his wife were amazing and very helpful. Massimo gave a lot of great suggestions for restaurants and stuff to do. Overall a very good experience and I highly recommend it!

Nothing.

It is one of the best city hotel i've ever stayed. Mr Massimo is super kind and helpful. He contacted me before we reach Spezia, help us all the way, made good suggestions. It is a family hotel, everything is exactly like in photos. he thought everything even the mosquito protection. His wife is cleaning room like her own house. So i couldn't imagine a better hotel. If i come La Spezia again, definitely i will stay here again 😇🙏

The only negative thing is, between 2 room there is no acoustic isolation. You can hear easily. But not a big problem for us👌

We really like the location of Sweet Dreams. We also really liked the room, the host and La Spezia. Easy to be on contact with the host and we got all the help we needed. Perfect!

We thought the bed was a bit hard bit it was ok. But after days of walking in Cinque Terre my back could have needed a softer bed but we are all different so no complain really 👍🏾

Everything! The room was spacious, clean and well equipped with a mini fridge, kettle and hairdryer. There were other little touches like tea and coffee, plenty of towels and black out blinds. The hosts go above and beyond! So friendly, helpful and responsive. I can’t recommend this accommodation enough.

Nothing! It was our favourite accommodation.

Excellent location, close to station and plenty of restaurants. Very friendly host, personally accompanied us to free parking spaces and helped with luggage, lots of advice for our stay! Very clean rooms, jacuzzi in bathroom was v welcome after a long day at 5 Terre!

No major criticism of room. Mattresses were a little too hard for our taste, but may be fine for others. Soundproofing between bedrooms not great, we could hear our neighbour go for a wee! 😂 Biggest criticism would be the price which we felt didn’t represent value for money.

Great Location, close to Train Station, Restaurants, Cafes. Great Host Massimo met us at the Entrance when we arrived, bought our Bags to our Room, Recommended a great place for Breakfast and also organised our Taxi when we left.

Everything was Perfect

Sweet Dreams was more than i expected, Massimo was very helpful and answered all of over « tourist » questions. Restaurant’s minute away, train 10 minutes walk, boat Cinq Terres 10 minutes walk. The room was extremely clean , big enough, nice big shower. Don’t hesitate to reserve.

Nothing negative to say

Massimo and his wife were very warm and welcoming and obviously take great pride in Sweet Dreams. The room was comfortable, quiet at night, and super clean. This was a good home base from which to visit Cinque Terre, <10 minute walk from the train station.

The only hard part was carrying suitcases up a medium flight of steps to get to the level of the apartment. Other than that, great!
