The property occupies a historic building on a pedestrian island and offers seven room types, from the Economy Double to the Family Room, all air-conditioned and equipped with private bathroom, flat-screen TV, mini-fridge and kettle with tea. Several rooms have a balcony or terrace with city views, while the absence of a lift makes the property less suitable for guests with difficulty climbing stairs.

The central location allows guests to reach Castello San Giorgio, the Amedeo Lia Museum and numerous bars and restaurants on foot, while the Cinque Terre National Park is about 10 km away.
