Il Ghiro B&B is a bed and breakfast in Riccò del Golfo di Spezia, in Liguria, about 10 km from Castello San Giorgio and the historic centre of La Spezia. The property stands out for the host’s attentiveness, rated almost perfectly by guests, and for a value-for-money ratio that remains one of the most cited strengths in reviews.
The rooms, all with private bathroom, terrace and flat-screen TV, are designed for those seeking tranquility without giving up a bit of extra comfort: some overlook the garden, others the surrounding mountains, with sizes ranging from 18 to 20 m². Free WiFi is available throughout the property and has been rated with top marks by guests.
The location, in a hilly area just minutes from restaurants such as La Pineta and Locanda del Giglio, is particularly suited to couples: it is precisely couples who have given the location one of the highest scores recorded by the property. The free on-site private parking completes an offer designed for relaxed stays outside the city centre, yet still close to La Spezia’s main attractions.
Il Ghiro B&B offers three room types, all with private bathroom, terrace and flat-screen TV with cable channels, designed to provide a private stay surrounded by the greenery of the Spezia hinterland. Sizes range between 18 and 20 m², a modest but noticeable difference in the sense of space, especially in the largest room, which can accommodate up to three people.
What sets the room types apart is mainly the view and the bed arrangement: options range from garden views to panoramas over the surrounding mountains, while those looking for extra bathroom comfort can count on complimentary toiletries and courtesy sets. The private terraces, present in every room, are a distinctive feature rare for a property of this size and allow guests to enjoy outdoor moments without leaving their accommodation.
The largest of the three room types and the only one designed to accommodate up to three people thanks to the extra single bed. From the private terrace, the view opens onto the property’s garden, a detail that makes it ideal for families or small groups who don’t want to give up outdoor space.
The same size as the Queen Room with Garden View but designed for two people, with a large double bed as the sole sleeping arrangement. Here the terrace offers a different outlook, opening onto the mountains surrounding Riccò del Golfo di Spezia, ideal for those seeking a wilder view.
The most compact of the three rooms, but the only one offering a bathroom with a bathtub or shower and a bidet, along with complimentary toiletries. Equipped with a kettle for tea and coffee in the room, it is the most practical choice for those who want to make themselves a hot drink without going down to the common area.
Il Ghiro B&B provides guests with free on-site parking, convenient for those arriving by car in this hilly area of the Spezia hinterland, along with free WiFi available throughout the property and rated with top marks in reviews. Common areas include an outdoor dining area and a shared terrace, plus a daily housekeeping service that helps maintain high standards of tidiness.
Every room has a private bathroom with bidet, complimentary toiletries and a bathtub or shower, as well as a flat-screen TV with internet connection and cable channels. Family rooms are also available, while marble or tiled floors and heating ensure a good level of comfort throughout the year.
For those who want to make a hot drink on their own, a kettle for tea and coffee is provided, a small touch that rounds out an offering geared towards simplicity and attention to the everyday details of the stay.
Il Ghiro B&B is located in Riccò del Golfo di Spezia, a hilly municipality in the Spezia hinterland known for its green landscape and relative tranquility compared to the coast. The area around the property retains a rural character, with outdoor dining areas and private terraces that invite guests to enjoy the Ligurian climate away from the city centre traffic.
La Spezia, with its historic centre and Mura Trecentesche, is about 10 km away, while La Spezia Centrale railway station is just over 5 km away, convenient for those who want to travel to the Cinque Terre even without a car. Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is about 70 km away, a realistic option for those arriving by plane. For meals, Ristorante La Pineta is just 900 metres away and Ristorante Locanda del Giglio 550 metres away, both convenient for dinner without travelling far.
Those staying here can dedicate their days to visiting Castello San Giorgio and the Technical Naval Museum, both about 6-7 km away, or to the Amedeo Lia Museum for an afternoon of art and local history. In summer, the proximity to the Gulf of La Spezia makes trips to the Cinque Terre beaches convenient, while in winter the hinterland is well suited to walks among the hillside villages and the city’s historic walls, best enjoyed at a slow pace and without the crowds of the main tourist season.
