A Speza Affittacamere

The address is Piazzale Arrigo Boito 23, in La Spezia, outside the museum district but close to the station. The fourteenth-century walls are eight hundred and fifty metres away, Porta Isolabella one and one kilometres, the Amedeo Lia museum, Porta Castellazzo and the church of San Pio X one and two, the church of Santa Maria one and five, the castle of San Giorgio one and six, the Technical Naval Museum two. La Spezia Centrale station is five hundred and fifty metres away, five hundred counting the walking route; Pisa airport is eighty-four kilometres away and the nearest beaches nine.

It is a guesthouse with a lift. The rooms have air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, a desk, a wardrobe, bed linen, extra-long beds over two metres and a private bathroom with a bidet, a shower, a hairdryer and complimentary products. Some have a balcony with a town view, others a terrace. There is a private entrance, keycard access and the property is entirely non-smoking. Anyone arriving from far away finds a house that speaks many languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish, Russian, Bulgarian and Albanian.

The age rule is written by Booking, in the children conditions block: children are not allowed, and the property has no cots or extra beds. The Adults only item also appears among the general facilities. The eighteen years indicated on the page is the minimum age for checking in, which is a different matter. The house publishes no website of its own, so the source remains Booking.

There is no wellness area and no pool: a sauna, steam room and whirlpool tub do not appear in the list of facilities. The WiFi is free throughout the property. The property has no car park of its own: Booking indicates public parking in the area, paid and not bookable, plus street parking, disabled parking and a charging point for electric vehicles. The upper floors are reached by lift.

Arrival between fourteen and twenty-two, departure at ten, quiet from twenty-two to ten. Smoking is not permitted, parties are not held and pets are not allowed. With the station five minutes on foot, it is an address designed for anyone who takes the train to the Cinque Terre and comes back to the city in the evening.
