Affittacamere Le Farfalle, hotel in La Spezia

Located in La Spezia, Affittacamere Le Farfalle features modern-style rooms. The train station, with direct links to the Cinque Terre National Park, is 400 metres away.

The property was excellently located for easy access to the Cinque Terre Region via the main station. It was also easy to walk to the harbour and get a ferry to Porto Venere. I felt extremely safe within the property with a locked door to the main building, a passcode to the property and a lock on my room. I am a solo female traveller so safety is important to me. The property was very clean and the hosts extremely kind, explaining the details of my stay and giving tips for how to get about and what to see. Little extras like a fridge, water , biscuits , tea and coffee, shower gel, a hair dryer were really nice. I would definitely use the accommodation again and recommend as a good base for seeing the area.

    Great location with a birds-eye view on La Spezia. Quiet and cozy location. The rooms are spacious and, most importantly, are air conditioned. A small fridge is available too. The owners are extremely welcoming and pleasant! They advise best places to visit and the most convenient (and cheapest) ways to get there. Veronica and Marco (owners) are just precious! So is their dog (that completely stays out of the way unless you ask to meet him).

    Great location right in the city centre, but just outside the ZTL, with private parking just outside. The studio was very nice, we had a great sleep in this very comfortable bed. Surely recommended!
