Casa Esmeralda is a guest house in La Spezia, Liguria, located just 700 meters from La Spezia Centrale train station and a few hundred meters from the city’s historic center.
The property offers air-conditioned suites designed for those seeking a spacious and independent space: each unit has a private entrance, a living area separate from the bedroom, a personal terrace, minibar, tea and coffee maker and flat-screen TV. The private bathroom with shower and bidet comes with complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer, while sheets and towels are always included in the stay.
The central location puts restaurants, cafés and the city’s main historic landmarks, including San Giorgio Castle and the Trecentesche Walls, within easy walking distance. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, while private parking is offered for an extra charge in a garage. Casa Esmeralda is aimed at travelers and couples looking to stay independently in a well-kept, quiet setting that is well connected to the rest of the city, with the sea and La Spezia’s main attractions easily reachable on foot or with short trips.
Casa Esmeralda offers two twin suites with terrace, both around 45 square meters and designed to accommodate up to four people. Each suite consists of a private entrance, a living area with a sofa bed and a separate bedroom furnished with a large double bed. The private bathroom, with shower and bidet, is shared between both room types, as is the air conditioning, minibar, tea and coffee maker and flat-screen TV.
The difference between the two suites is minimal: it is practically the same layout, repeated in two separate units within the property, both with a personal terrace to relax on during the stay. Thanks to the independent living area and the additional sofa bed, the spaces are flexible for both couples and small groups or families, while still maintaining a private and self-contained environment compared to the rest of the property.
