Hotel Al Convento is a 3-star property housed in an ancient monastery in the historic center of the medieval village of Vezzano Ligure, in the province of La Spezia.
The building retains some of the original features of its conventual architecture and today houses individually decorated design rooms, equipped with air conditioning and television: some offer views over the village. The offering is designed especially for those seeking a wellness break in a historic setting, thanks to the indoor spa center with sauna, steam bath, sensory shower, whirlpool tub, relaxation area and a room dedicated to halotherapy with salt treatments.
The private garden completes the common areas, ideal for a moment of outdoor relaxation after a day of sightseeing. A buffet breakfast is served every morning and pets are allowed, with a possible surcharge.
The location makes it possible to reach both the Cinque Terre National Park and the Gulf of Poets in about 30 minutes by car, while the center of La Spezia is about 12 km away. A suitable choice for couples and travelers seeking a stay that is a little different from the usual, between history and wellness.
The five room types at Hotel Al Convento occupy the spaces of the ancient monastery and have been individually decorated, maintaining a distinctive character from one room to another. All feature a private bathroom, air conditioning, heating and television, with some options offering views over the quiet streets of the village.
The range includes compact double options such as the Economy Double Room at 11 sqm, designed for short stays, up to the Superior versions with more refined finishes, and the Classic Triple and Superior Triple rooms, able to accommodate up to three people thanks to the addition of a single bed. The Double Room with Twin Beds also offers a flexible configuration for those traveling as a pair without necessarily sharing the same bed.
The Economy Double Room is the most compact option in the property, with 11 sqm of space and a view of a quiet street in the village. It features a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, minibar, safe and air conditioning, as well as TV and heating: a practical choice for a short stay in the historic center.
The Double Room with Twin Beds offers a flexible configuration designed for two people who do not necessarily share the same bed. The rooms maintain the same basic features as the other rooms, with a private bathroom and air conditioning, in a setting that preserves some of the original features of the conventual building.
The Superior Double Room offers a higher level of finishes compared to the Economy, keeping the large double bed as the central feature of the room. It is a good choice for those who want a bit more comfort during their stay, always with a private bathroom and air conditioning included.
The Classic Triple Room is designed for groups of three people, thanks to the combination of a single bed and a large double bed. It is the essential version of the triple rooms offered by the property, with simple furnishings and the basic features common to all rooms.
The Superior Triple Room follows the same layout as the Classic Triple but with a double bed instead of the large double bed, and slightly more refined finishes. This option also accommodates up to three people, making it a good alternative for families or small groups.
Hotel Al Convento offers guests a full spa and wellness center, with sauna, steam bath, whirlpool tub, relaxation room and a range of body and facial treatments and beauty services including manicure, pedicure and waxing.

Room service, concierge service and the option of having breakfast directly in the room complete an offering geared towards relaxation. Safety is also a priority, with fire safety systems, key access and active surveillance throughout the property.
