Cinque Terre Behind is a guest house in La Spezia, Liguria, built in 2017 and located just 600 meters from Castello San Giorgio, with hypoallergenic rooms and free WiFi throughout the property.
The property is designed for those seeking a practical, modern base from which to explore La Spezia’s historic center and the Cinque Terre: all rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, offering a desk, coffee machine, refrigerator, safe and private bathroom with bidet, while some room types add a balcony or terrace overlooking the inner courtyard or the city. Sheets and towels are always included.
Location is one of the guest house’s strong points: La Spezia Centrale station is just 350 meters away, and nearby you’ll find the Amedeo Lia Museum, the Technical Naval Museum and several restaurants and cafés within a few minutes’ walk. Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is about 65 km away. The property is entirely non-smoking, best suited for couples and travelers who prioritize comfort and central location over large-hotel amenities.
The six room types at Cinque Terre Behind share the same layout and amenities: air conditioning, soundproofing, flat-screen TV, private bathroom with toiletry set and bidet, coffee machine and electric kettle. Room sizes range between 16 and 19 m², with an extra-large double bed as the common base, while the two Deluxe Triple Rooms add a sofa bed as an alternative layout to accommodate up to three people.
What sets the room types apart are mainly the view and outdoor spaces: some rooms overlook a quiet inner courtyard, others offer a balcony or even a private terrace with a city view. The King Standard Room instead focuses on simplicity with combinable single beds. In all cases, sheets and towels are provided, and the private entrance ensures independence during the stay.
The largest of the triple rooms, at 18 m², with a view over a quiet inner street. A private entrance and soundproofed walls ensure maximum privacy, while the sofa bed layout allows up to three guests.

Slightly more compact than the previous one (16 m²), it shares the inner courtyard view but with a cozier layout, ideal for short stays as a couple.
The only double room with a private terrace overlooking the inner courtyard, perfect for those who want their own outdoor space during the stay.
The only room with a city view in addition to a balcony, suited for those who want to look out over La Spezia’s cityscape while still staying just steps from the historic center.
The most spacious triple room in the whole property at 19 m², also featuring a flexible layout with a sofa bed for groups of three seeking more space.

There’s also a shared terrace, along with daily housekeeping and an in-room safe for guests’ peace of mind.
Access is carefully managed: independent entrances, magnetic key access, closed-circuit cameras in common areas and an elevator to reach the upper floors. Families traveling together will also find suitable options, thanks to the availability of family and soundproofed rooms.
Each room always includes a coffee machine, electric kettle, refrigerator and flat-screen TV with cable channels, while the private bathroom is equipped with a shower, bidet, hairdryer and complimentary bath products. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.
Cinque Terre Behind is located in the heart of La Spezia, in a residential area just steps from the ancient 14th-century walls and the city’s historic center. The neighborhood is quiet yet central, with cafés, restaurants and shops within walking distance, a setting that lets you experience La Spezia as a real city rather than simply a gateway to the Cinque Terre.
La Spezia Centrale station is just 350 meters away, a key connection for those who want to travel to the Cinque Terre by train without using a car. Castello San Giorgio is 500 meters away, the Amedeo Lia Museum 300 meters, and the Technical Naval Museum about 950 meters.

In summer, the Persico and Cantun beaches, about 5 km away, offer a quieter alternative to the more crowded villages; in cooler months, the area is well suited to walks along the Cinque Terre’s scenic trails and visits to the main historic sites in the center.
