A cozy guest house in the heart of La Spezia, just steps from Castello San Giorgio, with air-conditioned rooms and a private bathroom in every unit.

Room types

The four rooms at Marta’s House share the same essential and functional layout: 14 square meters each, a large double bed, air conditioning and a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries. Each unit is furnished with a wardrobe, a desk and a flat-screen TV, designed to comfortably accommodate up to two people without sacrificing a bit of privacy thanks to the en-suite bathroom in every room.

The differences between the room types are minimal and mainly concern the layout of the furniture and the floor they are located on, since the upper floors of the building are accessible only by stairs, with no elevator. Anyone looking for a practical solution in the city center will find in each of these rooms an essential, clean and well-equipped base for a short stay or a stopover in La Spezia.

In town, the Fourteenth-Century Walls, the Technical Naval Museum 850 meters away, and the Parco delle Clarisse, ideal for a green break, are all worth a visit. In summer, the Persico and Cantun beaches, about 4.5-5 km away, offer a seaside alternative, while in winter the historic center and its museums remain the main attraction of the area.
