Renata Holiday Home - Holidays & Tourism in La Spezia - Ampio giardino esterno

Apartment completely renovated recently. 80 square meters plus a garden outside.

Located in a residential area, the apartment is on the ground floor and is fully accessible without the need for elevators. The car park is just 50 m away from the property, in a secure gate, locked overnight . This property offers the possibility of a holiday in a quiet area, a short drive from the Cinque Terre.

The full kitchen, living room, TV, internet access and a private garden are among the amenities available in this property. The garden, in particular, is ideal to have meals (breakfast, lunch or dinner) outdoors.

The bedrooms, both very spacious, are two triple rooms, with a double bed and a single bed each. Ideal for a family with children.

The living room is also equipped with a double sofa bed, extending the maximum capacity of the apartment to 8 guests.

Just 900 m from the train station (10 minutes on foot) and boarding boats to the islands and to Portofino, Portovenere and Genoa Aquarium. Structure near restaurants with typical Ligurian focaccia and fish very good and fresh. On the outskirts of La Spezia, the historic center is within walking distance. A few miles from the sea. Portovenere and Lerici can be reached using the comfortable boat service that leaves from the city center.

To reach the apartment and travel in the area, given the great proximity to the station and public transport, it is not necessary to use a private car.

Beautiful apartment!

We loved our stay in this home. It was large and well equipped for our family. The host is wonderful and very helpful. This was a perfect spot for a home base while we explored La Spezia, Porto Venere and Cinque Terre.

Renata's Holiday Home is warm and welcoming! We had plenty of space to cook and enjoy a family dinner in her bright and airy kitchen. Both bedrooms are ample in size with high ceilings. The outside garden was peaceful and tranquil as we enjoyed our Italian tea to the chirping of the birds. The market and bus is close by, and a 20 minute walk puts you in the midst of shopping, cafe's and people! Be sure to catch the ferry boat not far from Renata's Holiday home. Ask Renata about the 5 city tour, it's a must! Renata will bend over backwards to accommodate you with her warmth and hospitality. Best host we've ever experienced!

The best house in La Spezia

The host made us feel so welcome and comfortable in her house, the rooms and facilities were more than comfortable. Advice from Renata made travel and sight seeing along the Cinque Terre and Port Venere so enjoyable with lunch recommendations and detailed transport options. We would highly recommend this accomodation to anyone and hope you are lucky enough to get a successful booking

Recanta was amazing! She was like a mother who wanted to take care of you. Went above and beyond to pick me and my family up from the station, which I'm very thankful for. Her house was amazing from the bedding to amenities to the walkable markets and the train station. The area was very scenic as well, with beautiful views and the proximity to Cinque Terre. You won't regret your stay here!

Renata was a wonderful and generous hostess

Renata greeted us at the train station upon arrival and drove us back at the end of our stay. Her home was very clean and quiet. She arranged dinner reservations for us and provided recommendations for nearby market, wine store, and bakery. Renata was so very kind, we felt at home in her residence. She also drove us to nearby Porta Venere where we spent half a day enjoying this beautiful seaside village. We want to return so we can spend more time with Renata.

Lovely Apartment in LaSpezia

This was an absolutely wonderful stay during our 3 week trip to Italy. Renata is the perfect host; so kind and generous. The apartment is very clean and well appointed. The grocery store is a 5 minute walk away, and the train station is very close for trips to Cinque Terre and the ferry is also there to go to Portovenere (must see), but in our case the lovely Renata drove us to Portovenere and we took the ferry back. Renata is the perfect host and I hope we stay in contact because we definitely want to visit again. Thank you, Renata!

Perfect

This property was absolutely perfect for our short stay vising La Spezia, Cinque Terre and Portovenere. Renata was a brilliant host and was nearby if we needed anything. The property was very clean and well equipped which made our stay even better. Parking was very close by and gated. La spezia town center was about 15 minutes walk. Portovenere (our pick of places to visit) was a 20 minute drive. My advice is to park at the top of the hill and walk down! Cinque terra is a 23 minute train ride away and is a must for any short visit. I would recommend staying here if you get the chance. Thank you to Renata and her family for their hospital.

Fabulous Find!

First, Renata, is the best host! Answered all questions quickly. Met us when we arrived. Walked us through the apartment, explained what was available, how to manage rubbish and let us use her private parking. She is a lovely person who welcomed us into her home. LaSpezia is a beautiful town. Toward the docks, there is a great farmers market ( Market Square), all sorts of restaurants and cafes. We drove to Porto Venere, which was a great drive, wonderful restaurants and beautiful views. The apartment is lovely. Size and configuration was perfect. When we left, my husband & I both said, we could have stayed a week! Renata's house is the perfect base camp to then explore the Cinque Terre and surrounding area, and with Renata as the host, Perfecto!

La Spezia

Renata's apartment was great, well equipped with everything you could need, spacious and had the added bonus of the garden. Renata was a fabulous host, she made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived, taking us to the local supermarket and making a dinner reservation for us that evening. She did everything possible to make us feel welcome. Renata told us about the area and recommended various places to visit. She also kindly took us to Porta Venere, which was fabulous and so worth a visit. The apartment is in a very convenient location approx 10-15 minutes walk to the train station and into the town where there are many restaurants and shops. La Spezia is an ideal location for visiting the Cinque Terra which we loved. Renata was a fantastic host and even took us to the station when we departed. We would highly recommend her and know that anyone staying at her apartment will have a fantastic time.

Special Location on the Italian Riviera

Renata is everything that the other reviews state and more. She is gracious and accommodating and truly treats you like her family. The house is perfectly situated in La Spezia with easy access to the port, train station (which goes to both Cinque Terre and also the rest of Italy) and the city center. There are many restaurants, stores and cafes available. Renata's passion and dedication to her home and making your stay special is very evident. Public transportation and parking are readily available at her home. However, our family chose to walk to the port and back both days and we are so happy we did. The ferry to Porte Venere is 100% worth the trip. We were able to experience all that the city center had to offer with shops, restaurants and more. If looking for local places to visit, eat, or explore, please ask Renata for her recommendation and take her advice.

Perfect

We traveled here by train from Rome and from the start everything was wonderful. Renatta, our host met us at the station. She is a truly beautiful soul. The entire Cinque Terre region is absolutely stunning. Porto Venere also a must see. We traveled there by ferry from the port in La Spezia, although Renatta offered to take us with her. She is truly amazing and her place is a perfect place to relax after a long day. The court yard is private and surrounded by beautiful lemon trees. The beauty of Cinque Terre is only matched by the kindness of Renatta. She makes you feel like you're home with an old friend. Will definitely return on our next trip to Italy. Renatta, you made me wish I could speak Italian. I will work on that for my next visit, so we can have a long conversation. Thank you for a beautiful time. Sirina and Stan.

Unexpected but still good

From the online photos we thought this property was in a more rural setting. It could definitely be that we did not read it thoroughly but I am a seasoned VRBO traveler and host and our arrival surprised us. The location is in a busy neighborhood through which you need to navigate and, with no way to get through the street after dropping off or picking up luggage, you need to back up in a narrow and auto-filled lane and the car park is pretty far down. That said, Renata was extremely helpful and friendly. She lives in the same building and loves hosting her guests. With two baths and two bedrooms, my friend and I could spread out a bit and with a kitchen and washer, our stay was mostly comfortable. We were thankful that we brought our own pillows and small down cover, but the beds could use better mattresses Everything worked well and walking to the grocery and nearby restaurants allowed us to feel a part of the community.

The best host!

Stayed here for 3 nights as a base to explore Cinque Terre. Renata is the owner and she lives alone upstairs from the apartment. She is so lovely and is really the reason to book this apartment. We communicated with Whatsapp. She does well using google translate. She does speak enough English as well. She picked us up from the train and also took us back to the train when we left. We are a family of 4 with 2 adult daughters. The first day she drive us to Porto Venere and we hiked (9 miles) to Riomaggiore. It is a beautiful and very strenuous hike. We took the train back to La Spezia. The apartment is clean, pretty small but has everything. There is a small washing machine and a rack to hang clothes. Kitchen was very clean. Has all the basic stuff. We were able to cook as needed. There is a grocery store about an 8 minute walk away. I also noticed a pharmacy close by. It is about a mile along a busy road to the train. I think she would have been happy to drive us anywhere. The train is about 8 minutes to Cinque Terre. Of note this is not really in a touristy area and La Spezia is not all that nice. It was much cheaper than staying in Cinque Terre though. This apartment is an excellent value.

We stayed at Renata’s holiday home and the house had everything we needed! Renata thought of everything! Check in was a breeze as Renata was there upon check in to give us the keys and show us around the property. We were a party of 7 (kids ages 15, 18 & 20) along with 4 adults and there was more than enough room for all of us, along with the 2 bathrooms. The garden outside was also nice to enjoy a meal or hang out in the mornings and evenings. It was about a 12 minute walk from the train station & there was a fruit market and super market in very close walking distance. We didn’t have a car but there is a locked gate to keep a car should you have one. Renata even had wine, beer and water waiting for us in the fridge when we got in along with some croissants and other breakfast snacks for the following mornings. There is olive oil and spices available for cooking as well as coffee to make on your own. This house and Renata are more than 5 stars!

Wir hatten uns eine Unterkunft gesucht, die zentral gelegen ist, um die Cinque Terre und etwas die Toskana anzusehen. Die Unterkunft liegt in einer ruhigen Nebenstraße unweit vom Bahnhof. Die zentrale Lage bringt aber auch das Flair einer belebten Großstadt mit sich.Renata ist super aufmerksam und sorgt sich darum, dass es den Gästen gut geht. Die Wohnung ist sauber und wir konnten mit dem Inventar ausreichend gut leben. Grundsätzlich können wir die Unterkunft empfehlen.

Renata is an exceptional host. As well as picking us up and dropping us off at the train station, she kindly drove us to the lovely little town of Porto Venere. There were a few goodies in the fridge for us too including a bottle of wine, homemade pesto and marmalade.The property was perfect for our party of two couples, very clean and welcoming. There is no more to say about the Cinque Terre villages, but don't forget La Spezia itself where the city centre is only a 25 minute walk from the property.There is no real need for a car as all of the Cinque Terre villages are accessible by train. On the day of a train strike, we took a bus to the nearby town of Lerici which was charming. We swam in the sea at San Terenso which must be the nearest beach to La Spezia.If you enjoy hiking there are lots of opportunities. Our favourite was the free walk from Levanto to Monterosso. We didn't take the 1km Via dell'Amore walk between Riomaggiore and Manarola - Even though the path is flat, the price is steep at EUR17!We stayed in both Pisa and Genoa as part of this holiday - both only an hour by train from La Spezia.

Eine phantastische Unterkunft mit einer tollen Gastgeberin

Wir waren sechs Tage in La Spezia, um von dort die Cinque Terre zu erkunden und zu erwandern. Die Lage von Renatas Wohnung ist hierfür perfekt, man braucht ca. 15 min zu Fuß zum Bahnhof. Die Zugverbindungen sind sehr gut, man kann alle Orte bequem erreichen. Die Wohnung von Renata ist ideal für 4 Personen. Sie liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstrasse, das Auto steht sicher auf einem abgeschlossenen Parkplatz in der Nähe. Der Platz im Hof ist auch bei Hitze angenehm schattig und kühl. Dank der zwei Bäder steht man sich auch mit vier Erwachsenen nicht im Weg.Renata ist eine sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Gastgeberin. Ihre Tipps für Ausflüge und zum Essengehen waren super (Porto Venere mit dem Schiff von La Spezia war ein Highlight). Sie nimmt sich immer Zeit für ein Gespräch und antwortet auf alle Fragen schnell und ausführlich.Wir hatten das Glück, auch die Nachbarn kennenzulernen. Italienische Gastfreundschaft pur.Kurzum: Die Tage bei Renata waren sehr schön. Eine 5-Sterne-Urlaub!

Perfect Base for Exploring Cinque Terre

We had a lovely 3-night stay at Renata's place in La Spezia. It’s a great home base for exploring Cinque Terre — close enough to the action, but peaceful enough to unwind after a full day of sightseeing. The apartment had everything we needed to cook meals and relax. It’s about a 15-minute walk from the train station and just steps from a supermarket, which was super convenient. Renata is warm, friendly, and kind — she made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend!

Le logement de Renata est situé dans une rue extrêmement calme et proche d’une très bonne pizzeria. En une quinzaine de minutes à pied, nous avons pu rejoindre la gare de La Spezia pour visiter les "Cinque Terre". Nous avons pu également garer notre voiture sur un emplacement privé, ce qui est vraiment un plus. Renata nous a donné pleins de conseils pour notre séjour.
