Albergo Serena is a family-run 3-star hotel located in Cerri, a hilltop hamlet in the municipality of Lerici, about 2.5 km from the town centre and 3 km from the harbour from which ferries depart for the Cinque Terre and Palmaria Island.
The property caters to those seeking a simple, quiet base for exploring the gulf, preferably travelling by car since the area is not served by public transport. The rooms, ranging from the Single to the Quadruple, share an essential style with tiled floors, heating, flat-screen TV and private bathroom; many overlook the Ligurian hills or the village of Cerri, others face a patio or an inner courtyard.
Among the available services are free parking, daily housekeeping, a safe and the option to request menus for special diets. Pets are welcome, with a possible extra charge. The hilltop location, just a few minutes’ drive from the beaches of Marinella, San Terenzio and Fiumaretta, makes it well suited to those who value quiet and views over immediate proximity to the sea.
Albergo Serena offers four room types, from the Single designed for one guest to the Quadruple that can accommodate up to four people, along with the Double and the Triple. All share a simple, functional layout: tiled floors, heating, flat-screen TV and private bathroom, elements that make every stay practical and no-frills.
What sets the different options apart are mainly the size, ranging from 11 sqm for the Single to 24 sqm for the Quadruple, and the bed configuration, often flexible between a double bed and separate single beds. Many rooms enjoy a view of the Ligurian hills or the small village of Cerri, others face a patio or an inner courtyard, offering different glimpses of the surrounding landscape depending on the chosen accommodation.
At 23 sqm, this is one of the largest accommodations in the property, designed for three guests thanks to the flexible configuration between a double bed with an added single or three separate single beds. Tiled floors, flat-screen TV and private bathroom complete a room that overlooks the garden and inner courtyard.
Designed for two people, it offers the choice between a large double bed or two separate single beds. It features a private patio and a view that takes in the garden, the surrounding hills and, in some cases, a mountain profile, standing out for this more open outlook compared to the other rooms.
The most compact room in the property at 11 sqm, designed for a single guest but with the option to add a child. Despite its limited size, it enjoys the same panoramic outlook as the other rooms, with views of the garden, hills and patio, ideal for those travelling alone and not needing much space.

Albergo Serena is located in Cerri, a small hilltop hamlet in the municipality of Lerici, set among Ligurian hills that slope down towards the gulf. The area retains a rural, quiet character, away from the traffic of the tourist centre, with a local restaurant, Circolo Arci Cerri dal Giova, just 450 metres from the property.
The centre of Lerici can be reached in a few minutes by car, and from there ferries depart for the Cinque Terre and Palmaria Island; the harbour is about 3 km from the hotel. The nearest beaches, such as Venere Azzurra at 1.7 km and Spiaggia di San Terenzo at 1.9 km, are easily accessible by car, as are the railway stations of Arcola (2.6 km) and Sarzana (3.8 km) for those wishing to travel towards La Spezia or Pisa. As the area is not served by public transport, it is advisable to travel with your own vehicle.
Those staying here can enjoy hiking and cycling among the hills, or reach sandy beaches such as Marinella, San Terenzio, Bocca di Magra and Fiumaretta within a few minutes. In summer, the sea and boat trips towards the Cinque Terre are the main attraction, while in the cooler months the area is well suited to walks inland, visits to the Porto Venere Regional Nature Park about 8 km away, or excursions to the museums and castles of La Spezia, such as Castello San Giorgio and the Amedeo Lia Museum.
Guests particularly praise the staff’s helpfulness, rated 9, and the cleanliness of the rooms. Comfort and value for money also receive good ratings, while the location, though hilly and scenic, scores slightly lower due to the distance from the centre.
