Room types

Buio Pesto offers three double rooms, all with independent entrances and private bathrooms equipped with shower, bidet and hairdryer. Each room is air-conditioned and overlooks the garden, with views that in some cases also extend to the surrounding mountains. Shared amenities include a flat-screen TV, fridge, electric kettle and microwave, designed to give guests independence during their stay.

The main difference between the room types concerns size and the presence of a balcony: the Double Room with Balcony is the largest, at 20 square metres with a private outdoor space, while the Double Room with Private Bathroom and the Economy Double Room are smaller, at 16 and 14 square metres respectively. All rooms accommodate up to two people and are furnished with a wardrobe or closet, ideal for a couple’s stay in Val di Vara.

Location & what to see

Buio Pesto is located in Ceparana, a hamlet of Bolano in the Val di Vara, a hilly area of eastern Liguria that still retains a rural character compared to the nearby Spezia coast. The area around the property is residential and quiet, with private gardens and small dining venues nearby.

About 450-600 metres away are several restaurants such as Nuovo Capatò, Nicode and L’Angolo di Renzo, while Il Baretto bar is 500 metres away. The nearest railway stations are Santo Stefano di Magra, about 3 km away, and Vezzano Ligure, at 4.2 km, convenient for reaching La Spezia within a few minutes by train. Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is about 66 km away, a good hour’s drive. La Spezia, with its historic centre, Castello San Giorgio and the Amedeo Lia Museum, is about 8 km away.

Those staying at Buio Pesto can spend their days walking in the Parco Comunale, 750 metres away, or venture as far as the Pieve di San Venerio, 5 km away, for a taste of local history. In summer, the proximity to the sea makes a trip to the Cinque Terre or the Gulf of La Spezia convenient, while the Val di Vara hinterland offers trails through woods and villages, especially appreciated in spring and autumn for the milder climate.
