Via delle 5 Terre is a guest house in La Spezia, Liguria, located about 2.5 km from the train station and covered throughout by free WiFi.
The property offers nine room types, from doubles with garden views to triples with sea views, up to an apartment with an equipped kitchenette. All rooms come with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with toiletries, shower and hair dryer; several rooms feature a balcony or sea view. Luggage storage is available for guests arriving early or leaving late, while breakfast is served in continental, Italian, gluten-free and buffet versions.
The location suits both those visiting La Spezia for work and those using it as a base to explore the coast: Lerici is 14 km away, Portovenere is a 25-minute drive, and the Cinque Terre National Park is just 15 minutes away. The free on-site parking is a practical advantage for those travelling by car.
The nine room types at Via delle 5 Terre cater to different needs, from couples seeking romance to families with children who need extra space. Sizes range from 15 sqm for the more compact rooms to 25 sqm for the apartment with kitchenette, with 20 and 22 sqm triples designed for parties of three. All rooms share air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hair dryer, and a minibar.
What makes the difference is the outlook: some rooms face the sea, others the inner garden or courtyard, and several have a balcony. The apartment, unique for its privacy and size, adds a full kitchen with stove, fridge and oven, plus a complimentary bottle of wine or champagne. Bed configurations range from large to extra-large doubles, with twin-bed options for those who prefer to sleep separately.
The largest of the property’s standard rooms, at 22 sqm with a direct sea view. The sofa bed paired with the double bed makes it ideal for families or small groups who want to stay together, with a minibar and tea and coffee set available.
A flexible room that switches from twin to double as needed, with a private balcony overlooking the sea: the only one among the 15 sqm rooms to offer this combination of balcony and sea view together.
The same size and bed flexibility as the sea-view room, but here the outlook is over the inner garden, a quieter choice for those seeking calm rather than a sea-facing position.
A 20 sqm triple overlooking the garden, slightly smaller than the Triple Room with Sea View but with the same capacity for three guests, suited to those who don’t need a sea-facing outlook.
Designed for couples, it combines a balcony and sea view in a single compact 15 sqm room, without the twin-bed option available in other rooms of the same size.
The property’s largest and most independent option, at 25 sqm, with a full kitchenette featuring a stove, fridge and oven, a separate bedroom and a sea view. Includes a complimentary bottle of wine or champagne, an exclusive touch for this room type.
A double room with an extra-large bed, the only one among the doubles to offer this bed size, overlooking a quiet garden away from the street.
Without a specific panoramic view, this room stands out for its attached outdoor dining area, a plus not found in the other doubles of the same size.
Via delle 5 Terre offers a range of services designed to make the stay practical and enjoyable. The property has a garden, a terrace with a sun terrace and a picnic area with outdoor furniture, ideal spaces for relaxing outdoors. For those who want to get around independently, bicycle rental is available, along with a tour desk that organises walking tours, bike tours, cooking classes and activities such as snorkelling, scuba diving, canoeing and fishing.
On the dining side, guests will find an on-site coffee shop, a snack bar, a bar and the chance to enjoy fruit and wine or champagne, plus a kettle and coffee machine in the room. Security is ensured by CCTV, key card access and 24-hour surveillance, while allergy-free rooms and mosquito nets add extra attention to comfort.
The offer is completed by daily housekeeping, private check-in and check-out and an airport shuttle, useful for those arriving without their own car.
Via delle 5 Terre is located in a residential neighbourhood of La Spezia, not far from the seafront and the city’s historic centre, in an area that alternates residential buildings with small local shops. The surroundings are quiet yet well connected to the urban core, where museums, monuments and the main services are concentrated.
La Spezia Centrale train station is about 1.7 km away, useful information for those arriving by train who want to get to the Cinque Terre without a car. Within a kilometre, several dining options can be found, including Osteria delle Spezie at 600 metres and Autedo at 650 metres, as well as bars such as Birreria 88. The nearest beaches, such as Spiaggia del Persico and Spiaggia del Cantun, are about 3.5 km away. By car, Portovenere can be reached in 25 minutes and the Cinque Terre National Park in just 15 minutes, while Lerici is 14 km away.
Those staying here can spend their days discovering the historic centre, with Castello San Giorgio 1.3 km away, the Amedeo Lia Museum and the 14th-century walls, or head towards the sea for a day trip to the Cinque Terre or Portovenere, an ideal destination especially in the summer months for coastal trekking and boat excursions. In winter, the city instead lends itself to more relaxed cultural visits, among museums and walks along Viale Mazzini.
