Sweet Federica

Sweet Federica is a non-smoking guest house in the heart of La Spezia, about 850 metres from La Spezia Centrale railway station and a few hundred metres from the restaurants in the town centre. The property is suited to those visiting the city as a base for exploring the Gulf of Poets and the Cinque Terre, or for business stays thanks to fast rail connections.

The two room types, both doubles with private bathroom, share air conditioning, soundproofing, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, coffee machine and toiletries: details designed for a practical stay, even for several nights. One of the two has an independent entrance directly from the street, while the other stands out for its two windows, which provide extra natural light.

Among the general facilities are free street parking, internet access and a few accessibility features, such as a lowered sink and wheelchair access. The central location, particularly appreciated by couples, makes it possible to reach the city’s main historic sites on foot, from Castello San Giorgio to the old gates of the fourteenth-century walls.

Plan your stay at Sweet Federica

Non-smoking guest house in the centre of La Spezia, a short walk from the railway station, with air-conditioned rooms, private bathroom and free street parking.

Room types

Sweet Federica offers two types of double room, both designed for two guests and equipped with a private bathroom with toiletries and a hairdryer. In both cases, air conditioning, soundproofed walls and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels ensure a comfortable stay, while the in-room coffee machine allows guests to make a hot drink without having to go out.

The Double Room with Private Bathroom, at 17.5 square metres, stands out for its bathroom with walk-in shower and bidet and for the two windows that light up the space. The Double Room, slightly larger at 18.5 square metres, instead has an independent entrance accessible directly from the street through a French door, in addition to the one shared with the building: a useful option for those who want more freedom with arrival and departure times.
