Vi blev så glatt överraskade när vi kom fram efter en slingrande bilresa! Det var som en dröm. Det gamla stenhuset var så vackert och speciellt. Rummet vi fick var inte stort men mysigt och smakfullt renoverat. Utanför fönstret hördes fågelkvitter annars var det helt tyst! Värdinnan var otroligt gästvänlig och trevlig och berättade om platsen och husets historia. På kvällen åt vi middag i restaurangen och maten och vinet var fantastiskt gott! Detta är ett ställe jag varmt rekommenderar och tänker återvända till! ##### Monica Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Jorge Jul 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 5 terras Tuga Um local bonito e super calmo.

La prima colazione non solo è inesistente ma non è compresa nel prezzo, sono riuscito a prendere un cafè dopo aver atteso i comodi della proprietaria e l'ho dovuto anche pagare, quindi non è vero che la colazione è compresa nel prezzo. In tre giorni non mi sono mai stati cambiati gli asciugamani ed il letto a stento veniva rifatto. Le pulizie della camera erano quasi inesitenti. Il posto è incantevole, la struttura è molto bella ed è inserita in un contesto di pace e tranquillità, peccato solo che la cortesia e la cordialità non sia stata quella che contraddistingue il popolo ligure. ##### Bird59 Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 6, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Vanessa May 13, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Nada ldilico.

Situated in the hills above La Spezia it's a delightfully rustic and charming family run hotel and the rate, given the quality of our stay, was pretty amazing. Our room was fairly spacious with en suite bathroom and glorious views from the window across the hills and the wifi was very good in the room and on the patio. The drive up to the hotel is via a narrow winding road but there's room enough at the summit for parking and a very short walk to the hotel and up the steps to the rooms. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, despite a language barrier that wasn't really a problem at all, giving us maps to the local area outlining some of the best excursions. I really wish we'd found the place earlier and could happily have spent a few days here, but sadly had to dash north the next day to Milan. Our stay fell on my birthday and I can't think of a better place to spend it. I would most definitely give make a return visit. 10/10 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1644-pfb71dc50-55a8-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s906-p7d306370-55a8-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mark ### 10/10 Excellent #### tina and david, ontario, canada Sep 29, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful secluded gem! We booked the room last minute for an unexpected overnight stay. The host was very accommodating to our request for a late check in. The place is beautiful, quaint, comfortable. The host even went out of her way to find us a bottle of wine late at night when we arrived. Nice breakfast in the morning. Would definitely recommend this little hidden gem. ##### tina and david Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 27, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Marcela, Miami Aug 17, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Host The hotel has everything you need, the only thing is the location, it is a beautiful area but it's far, we had a good experience because the Owner was a great host and offered to pick up/drop off us at La Spezia Central Station EVERY DAY (Thank God, because taxis are €25 each way), otherwise you will need a car to reach the hotel. ##### Marcela Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Léa Aug 11, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### mezzo-mezzo Hôtel indiqué par des pancartes et heureusement car il est situé dans un village vraiment isolé. Cadre très calme et bucolique. Parking un peu éloigné de l'hôtel et marches à grimper. Accueil sommaire en italien ou un peu en anglais. Chambre très propre mais manque d'insonorisation. Nos fenêtres donnaient sur la terrasse et si vous tombez en même temps que des clients bruyants, vous les entendrez dans tout le village. Déçue que le restaurant annoncé n'existe plus. Le wifi marche bien. ##### Léa Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Ludovic Aug 4, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ludovic Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHAZA Jul 17, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best property of the region Absolutely stunning property, very clean, topical house of the region, very cute and relaxing. We always go to big names chain hotels. And this one beat them all with it's character. Ones you are there you have to visit portovenere. It's the best of Italian riviera. ##### CHAZA Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017
