The property has a garden, free private parking and free WiFi throughout, details much appreciated by guests arriving by car or travelling by train.
The seven room types range from the cosier single to the 38-square-metre triple with an additional sofa bed, along with double rooms with a terrace overlooking the city or the garden. All units are air-conditioned, feature a private bathroom with courtesy set and bathrobes, a desk and a fridge, while several rooms also offer a balcony and a flat-screen TV.

Suited to couples and families, the guest house is not intended for parties or hen/stag nights.
Millstone House offers seven room types, from the single designed for solo travellers to the more spacious triple with an additional sofa bed. All units are air-conditioned and feature a private bathroom with shower, courtesy set, bathrobes and hairdryer, as well as a desk and a fridge: amenities designed for a practical stay for both tourists and business travellers.
What sets the rooms apart is mainly their size, ranging from 13 to 38 square metres, and their views: some units have a terrace with a city view, others overlook the property’s inner garden. Several rooms also offer a balcony and a flat-screen TV, while the Double Room/Twin Room allows guests to choose between a double bed and two single beds depending on the group’s needs.
Among the property’s double rooms, this is one of the two units with a city view: the private terrace overlooking the historic centre is its distinctive feature, along with a bathroom with bidet, hairdryer and courtesy set. Air conditioning and a flat-screen TV complete this 18 sqm accommodation designed for couples.
This is the only room in the property that offers a choice between a double bed and two single beds, making it flexible for couples or friends travelling together. The terrace overlooks the inner garden, and the room is air-conditioned with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom complete with bathrobes.
Same size as its city-view twin, but here the view is over the garden and the private bathroom features a walk-in shower, the only one of its kind among the available rooms. Terrace, balcony and wardrobe complete a room designed for those seeking easier bathroom access.
The most compact room in the property, designed for solo travellers: 13 sqm with a single bed, wardrobe and a terrace overlooking the garden that makes it brighter than the other small rooms. The private bathroom with shower and air conditioning complete the amenities.
The second room with a city view and panoramic terrace, it stands out from its counterpart for its particularly well-appointed bathroom, with bidet, bathrobes and a full courtesy set. Air conditioning and a flat-screen TV are included, for an 18 sqm stay geared towards relaxation.
This is the largest room in the entire property, with 38 sqm making it more than double the size of many double rooms: the combination of a double bed and sofa bed makes it ideal for families or small groups. A terrace with garden view and a private bathroom with shower complete the accommodation.
Unlike the other double rooms, this one has no terrace or balcony: it is the property’s most essential version, but makes up for it with an in-room safe and heating, plus the classic private bathroom with bidet and hairdryer. A practical choice for those who prioritise functionality and price.

Millstone House is located on Via Alessandro Volta, in a residential area of La Spezia a short distance from the historic centre and the seafront. The neighbourhood, quiet yet well connected, allows guests to reach the main city attractions on foot while still enjoying the calm of a side street away from the busier arteries of the centre.
La Spezia Centrale railway station is about 1.1 km away, convenient for those wishing to travel to the Cinque Terre or the Riviera di Levante by train. At similar distances are Castello San Giorgio, the Mura Trecentesche at 950 metres and the Amedeo Lia Museum, all reachable with a 10-15 minute walk. Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is about 65 km away, a useful option for those arriving by plane from abroad.
Guests staying here can spend their days exploring La Spezia’s historic centre, including the Technical Naval Museum and urban parks such as Parco delle Clarisse, or organise excursions to the Cinque Terre, reachable by train in just a few minutes. In summer, the proximity to the coast makes trips to the gulf’s beaches convenient, while in cooler months the city is easily explored on foot among museums, historic walls and the cafés of the centre, some of which are just a few hundred metres from the property.
