Plan your stay at Valerie

Guest house in the historic heart of La Spezia, just steps from Castello San Giorgio and the Amedeo Lia Museum, with air-conditioned rooms and pets allowed free of charge.

Room types

Valerie offers two room types, both designed for a practical stay in the centre of La Spezia: the Double Room and the Single Room. They share a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a tea and coffee making set, a wardrobe and a safe, amenities that guarantee a consistent level of comfort regardless of the room type chosen.

The Double Room, larger at 18.9 sqm, is designed for two people and offers a city view, while the Single Room, at 6.7 sqm, is designed for one guest and overlooks a quieter, more secluded inner courtyard. This difference in size and outlook makes the choice between the two rooms fairly natural depending on the type of trip: a relaxing city stay as a couple or an essential solo stay.

Location & what to see

Valerie is located in the historic heart of La Spezia, on Via Vanicella, just 200 metres from the city centre and 400 metres from Castello San Giorgio, the medieval fortress overlooking the upper part of the old town. The area is a maze of alleys, cafés and small restaurants: just downstairs are Bar Focacceria a Ca Mea, only 30 metres away, and Antica Osteria dei Camalli, proof of a lively neighbourhood also frequented by locals.

The location is convenient for those arriving without a car: La Spezia Centrale railway station is about 1.2 km away, while La Spezia Migliarina station is 2.4 km away. Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is the closest reference point for those travelling by plane, about 64 km away. Just a short walk from the property are also the Amedeo Lia Museum, at 450 metres, and the Technical Naval Museum, at the same distance, both comfortably reachable on foot.

La Spezia is the gateway to the Gulf of Poets and the Cinque Terre: the beaches of Portovenere and Sporting Beach are about 5 km away, ideal for a day trip during the summer season. In the cooler months, the historic centre offers walks along Viale Mazzini and through Parco delle Clarisse, 150 metres from the property, as well as visits to historic sites such as the Mura Trecentesche and the Monument to Garibaldi, all reachable within a few minutes on foot.
