Casa Giangarè is a guest house in the heart of Sarzana, in the province of La Spezia, within the pedestrian island of the historic centre. The property occupies a renovated historic building and offers four room types, from the Superior Double to the Comfort Quadruple, designed for both couples’ stays and small groups or families.
All rooms have a private bathroom with toiletries, and several units also offer air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and soundproofed walls; some, such as the Quadruple Room, even include a small kitchenette with a fridge and utensils. Guests also have access to a shared kitchen, a common area with a TV zone and luggage storage, useful for those arriving or leaving with Sarzana train station just 400 metres away.
The location is one of the features most mentioned by guests: restaurants and bars are literally a few steps away, while the walled historic centre of Sarzana, with its fortresses and pedestrian streets, invites evening strolls. The sea of the Lerici coast and the Cinque Terre remain a short drive or train ride away, making Casa Giangarè a practical base for those who want to move between the inland area and the coast.
Casa Giangarè offers four room types ranging from the most compact solution, designed for couples, to larger accommodations suitable for families or small groups. All rooms are guaranteed a private bathroom with toiletries, while most rooms also offer air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and soundproofed walls, useful given the property’s central location, right in Sarzana’s pedestrian island.
What sets the different rooms apart is mainly the size and bed configuration: they range from the 15 sqm Double/Twin Room with single beds to the 35 sqm Comfort Quadruple, the only one with a small kitchenette featuring a fridge and utensils and an independent entrance. The Comfort Triple stands out for its garden view and the combination of a sofa bed and a double bed, while the Superior Double focuses on the simplicity of a cosy space designed for two people.
At 25 sqm, it is one of the largest rooms in the property and the only one with a garden view. The private bathroom has a shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries, while the combination of a sofa bed and a double bed makes it ideal for three people, for example a couple with a third guest. A flat-screen TV, soundproofed walls and a tea and coffee set complete the room.
This is the property’s most compact room, at 15 sqm, designed for two people who prefer separate beds. The private bathroom includes a shower, bidet and toiletries, while a distinctive touch is the complimentary chocolate left in the room. Air conditioning, soundproofed walls and a flat-screen TV complete this essential yet functional solution.
At 35 sqm, this is the largest room at Casa Giangarè and the only one specifically designed for groups of up to four people. It stands out for its independent entrance and the small kitchenette with a hob, fridge and utensils, in addition to a private bathroom with a shower and toiletries. Air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and soundproofed walls complete the amenities.
The Superior Double Room is the property’s cosiest and most minimalist option, designed for two people looking for a simple space with a double bed and a private bathroom. Unlike the other room types, it does not have a kitchenette or stated air conditioning, making it the most straightforward choice for those seeking essential accommodation in the heart of Sarzana.
Casa Giangarè provides guests with a shared kitchen, a common area with a TV zone and luggage storage, services designed for those who want to move freely between a self-catered meal and outings into the centre. Breakfast is not included, but a coffee shop with fruit is available on site for those who prefer to start the day without going out.
General services include private and express check-in and check-out, daily housekeeping, laundry and ironing services, as well as lockers and heating throughout the property. The property is entirely non-smoking and also offers allergy-free rooms and family rooms, a useful detail for those travelling with children or suffering from allergies.
There is also a range of local entertainment on offer, including walking and cycling tours, movie nights, temporary art exhibitions and the chance to take part in pub crawls and themed evenings, all activities organised in collaboration with local businesses. WiFi is free throughout the property.
Casa Giangarè is located within the pedestrian island of Sarzana, a walled town in the Ligurian hinterland a few kilometres from the border with Tuscany. The neighbourhood is the historic centre, with narrow paved streets, bars and restaurants just steps from the front door: Bar Massimo is just 20 metres away, Pepenero and Il Calandrino are 50 metres away, while the Nob venue is 150 metres away.
Sarzana train station is 400 metres away, a real advantage for those wanting to travel without a car towards La Spezia or the coast; Arcola station is about 3.9 km away. Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is 57 km away, while the main museums and monuments of La Spezia, including San Giorgio Castle, the Technical Naval Museum and the Amedeo Lia Museum, are all reachable in about 11 km. The nearest beaches, such as Venere Azzurra and San Terenzo Beach, are about 5-6 km away, convenient for a half-day trip to the sea.
Those staying at Casa Giangarè can alternate walks through the walled historic centre with excursions into the hinterland: the Passo la Foce area, 6 km away, and the Brina and Nuda di Ponzano forest, 4.3 km away, offer trails for those seeking nature without travelling too far. In summer, the Lerici coast and the Cinque Terre are the most popular destinations, while in autumn and spring the area is well suited to walking or cycling tours among villages and castles, some of which are organised directly by the property.
