Serendipity is a guest house located in the heart of La Spezia, just 350 metres from the central railway station and one kilometre from Castello San Giorgio.
The entirely non-smoking property is designed for those seeking a convenient base to explore the historic centre and the Cinque Terre without giving up comfortable rooms. The spaces are air-conditioned and carefully furnished: flat-screen TV with satellite channels, refrigerator, coffee machine and toiletries are included in every unit, while the private bathrooms offer a shower, bidet and hairdryer. Some rooms open onto a balcony with views of the surrounding mountains, a detail that makes the stay even more pleasant on milder evenings.
The central location makes it possible to reach museums, historic churches and the city’s fourteenth-century walls on foot, as well as several bars and restaurants within a few hundred metres. Couples in particular rate the area very highly, a sign of a lively yet quiet location, ideal for a stay discovering eastern Liguria.
The rooms at Serendipity share amenities designed for a practical and comfortable stay: air conditioning, private bathroom with shower, linens and toiletries, flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a coffee machine in every unit. The entirely non-smoking property offers two types of double room, both with views of the surrounding mountains but with clearly distinct features.
The Double Room with Balcony, at 23 sqm, is the only one with a small private balcony overlooking the hills, perfect for those who want an outdoor spot even during a city stay. The Large Double Room, at 22 sqm, instead focuses on a larger wardrobe area with a walk-in closet, ideal for those travelling with bulkier luggage. Both accommodate up to two people and are equipped with a large double bed.
This air-conditioned double room, the most generous in terms of extra amenities, is the only one at Serendipity to offer a private balcony with views of the surrounding mountains. The private bathroom is equipped with a shower, bidet and hairdryer, while the sleeping area includes a large double bed and a flat-screen TV with cable channels.
Unlike the room with balcony, this room type focuses on a larger walk-in closet, convenient for those travelling with bulky luggage. It still offers mountain views, a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, plus a kettle for tea and coffee and a flat-screen TV with cable channels.
Serendipity provides guests with air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom, shower, bidet and hairdryer, as well as toiletries and bed linen supplied in every unit. Free WiFi, much appreciated in reviews, is available throughout the property, along with a flat-screen TV with cable and satellite channels.
Every room has a coffee machine or kettle for tea, a refrigerator and a wardrobe or closet, convenient for multi-day stays. The property is entirely non-smoking, with upper floors accessible by lift and marble or tiled floors that contribute to a tidy, cool environment.
There is no dedicated parking, but the central location makes it easy to get around on foot or by public transport, starting with the nearby railway station.
Serendipity is located in the historic centre of La Spezia, on Via Claudio Monteverdi, just steps from the ancient fourteenth-century walls and Porta Isolabella, remnants of the city’s fortified past. The area is both residential and lively, with bars and restaurants reachable on foot within a few minutes, including Pasta Fresca Ambrosini just 250 metres away.
La Spezia Centrale station is about 350 metres away, a notable advantage for those arriving by train who want to visit the Cinque Terre or Portovenere in a day without using a car. Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is about 65 km away, while the city centre with its main museums can be explored entirely on foot: the Amedeo Lia Museum is less than a kilometre away, the Technical Naval Museum is 1.6 km away, and Castello San Giorgio, with views over the gulf, is 1.2 km away.
Those staying at Serendipity can spend their days exploring La Spezia’s historic centre, among churches, markets and walks along the gulf, or use the city as a base for excursions to the Cinque Terre by train or to nearby beaches such as Spiaggia del Persico and Spiaggia del Cantun, about 5 km away. In summer, the proximity to the sea makes the area particularly busy, while in cooler months the intimate atmosphere of the historic centre prevails.
