La Tata B&B

very friendly owner and absolutely nice atmosphere

This room, legitimately, offers one of the most sublime views in the world. You can stay at hotels five times this price and will not have the same jaw-dropping display of steep cliffs, colorful Italian houses, sapphire water, and sun right after climbing out of bed. Since the house is a fair bit up the hill (how else would you get a view like this) you need to be okay with walking a few steep steps, but if you are, you'll be rewarded with once-in-a-lifetime views, a charming and incredibly friendly hostess, and one of the least touristy towns in the Bay of Poets.

Neighbourhood was authenic Italian, the kitchen balcony was a "bridge" to the opposite building over a narrow street. Having the morning coffee there was a unique experiemce. Room was nice, landlady very friendly and helpful.

When making the booking, we did not realise how high up on the hill the place is. Getting up there from the beach or from Lerici was quite a workout.

Our host was extremely nice, explained us everything we needed for a comfortable stay nearby Lerici. We appreciated the village La Serra in which B&B is situated..Such a nice, small and quiet place with old buildings and beautiful views.The glass of wine at small piazza is more than recommended:). The walk down to the closest beach is 15 minutes and up the hill is a bit of exercise but after all delicious italian food maybe useful:)))). Hope to come back;)

Raffaella was our host and she was exceptionally kind and cooperative. If you visit Lerici, which is one of the most beautiful locations of Liguria (even a bit better than 5 terre since tourism is a bit lower), I would suggest staying at La Serra instead of Lerici city center. It's a 20-minute walk from the town center/sea but the view and the atmosphere at La Serra are unique. Raffaella's bnb is adorable and still decorated with ancient murals. I would advise this location to those who prefer a more quiet, peaceful (and very Italian experience). Be prepared to walk a little bit since Liguria is a gem placed between the sea and mountain. Raffaella's bnb La Tata is the place to go :)

Thanks so much for hosting us! The apartment was great and it was lovely to meet you, Rafaella!

La vista era stupenda
