Appartamento Holiday Cinque Terre

Nice, comfortable and clean apartment, with everything you need for pleasant stay.

Everything

All in all this has been the BEST equipped apartment/room we've stayed in so for on our extended holiday. The apartment was roomy, the bed very comfortable, the kitchen facilities 1st class. Even had a sauna, which we didn't use. But there is a catch... read what we didn't like. The owners were helpful, but not on site, as they run a business out of town.

While this was the best accommodation we've encountered to date for comfort etc, it is by far the WORST we've encountered for actually getting there without killing yourself with exertion. I mean that seriously. Even without luggage it is an effort if you're not young and fit. The walk from the station was nice and flat UNTIL you hit the street where the apartment is....Then its all up hill, and quite steep!! WORSE STILL, when you get to the apartment building, then you have 4 levels (8 flights) to climb to the apartment, as THERE IS NO LIFT.. This was not an enjoyable experience with 2 heavy suitcases and other bags at our age. Don't be fooled either...you cannot catch a taxi to the front door!!. You have to walk the steep hill and then climb 4 levels. Sooooo.... the lesson is...if you have light luggage, then this is your place.. If you have heavy luggage and you are not young and fit, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Will be better with air conditioning system.

It was very clean and also well equipped and felt homely and comfortable. It is just around the corner from the railway station and several bus stops. The old town of La Spezia was in easy walking distance too. There are two supermarkets within a few minutes walk.

As many reviewers have mentioned, the apartment block is halfway up a steep hill and the flat is on the 4th (top) floor and there is no lift. So bear in mind if you have mobility issues.

Good budget friendly stay!

The apartment is wonderful.Very clean an comfortable.It was quite.You have an amazing view.The owner is nice.She recomended bet places to see.

Loved the view. Loved the quietness. Loved the kitchen. Loved the roof top.

Our biggest let down was that the air conditioning was not available to use in peak summer. We felt this should have been made more explicit on the website. The AC was in photos and listed as a facility on the Bookings App but the Browser version of Bookings.com did not state AC, so we were somewhat confused about this upon arrival. IBN hindsight, we wouldn't have booked here knowing the AC was not available. The shower head holder was not working, this was our second biggest disappointment. The stairs was the last thing we weren't prepared for, however we knew about this upon booking. Walking to and from the station in the heat only to arrive at a room without AC was not an enjoyable experience. If we were to visit La Spezia again we would not book in here due to the above stated reasons.

Very clean apartment,easy to get to the train station.

We arrived sunday afternoon,the apartment is situated in the hill,you need to climb so many stairs..in the building no elevator(we had a pushchair and was very hard)in the apartment very hot,at first we didn't have any air con at 38°!!! We been told to let the windows open to ventilate some air! Finally we received the remote for air con and have a decent temperature in the room.The kitchen sink had serious problems,every time we washed laundry or dishes it got full of water,a major problem with the pipes,no working vacuum so we struggle to clean,very tiny bathtube. As we arrived in sunday afternoon,just out of courtesy leave a bottle of water at list in the fridge,all the shops were closed but it would've been nice to be able to drink water at list.
