Renata Holiday Home - Holidays & Tourism in La Spezia - Large outdoor garden

Apartment completely renovated in June 2014. 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!

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!

Visit to Cinque Terre

My wife and I stayed 4 nights here as a base for visiting Cinque Terre and surrounding areas. The unit was cozy, comfortable and well situated. We had a car which we parked in the space provided. We walked, bused, trained and ferried everywhere while we were there. The train station is a short walk and that's how we got to Cinque Terre, using the ferry to return. We also visited Porto Venere by bus. Downtown La Spezia with lots of restaurants is a 30 min walk. Host Renata was very helpful and generous. She provided some of her homemade pesto and marmalade which were delicious. We really enjoyed our stay in La Spezia.

Amazing host & location!

This property was wonderful! Perfect location away from the touristy areas but easy to walk to the train station, city centre and harbour. La Spezia was a great little city. Far less crowded than staying in Cinque Terre and only 10 mins by train from the first village. The highlight of our stay here though was our host Renata. We have travelled a lot and stayed in many rental properties and have never had a better or more thoughtful host! She picked us up and dropped us off at the train station, drove us to the ferry one morning, recommended we visit Porto Venere (which we absolutely loved!), made us fresh pesto and gifted us with some beautiful pastries. She made us feel like we were family. We adored her and cannot recommend this place and Renata enough!

This was a gem such a lovely stay!!! <3

We were a group of 8 friends who stayed with Renata! We had such an amazing time. The unit was in a lovely location close to busses and transit as well as a supermarket. Everything you would need to explore La Spezia! The home was lovely, very gorgeous and clean had laundry. Everything we would ever need! Renata was an ANGEL she welcomed us with treats and had homemade jam and coffee upon our arrival. She had a great roster of local recommendations and activities. She even went ahead and offered booking beach chairs for us at major beaches we were visiting! The restaurant she recommended was amazing. All her guidance made our trip great. We really felt taken care of beyond just staying at a property it felt like we had a nonna and life long friend. If you want an authentic experience in La Spezia stay here, you will not regret it. Thank you Renata for a lovely stay!!! <3

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.

Great stay. Renata was super helpful and arranged for reservations for diner when we asked for help. It is less than 20 min to the train station to Cinq Terre. Rooms are spacious and it is nice to have 2 bathrooms. The AC worked great. Supermarket and bakery are 2 min walk! We stayed there 4 nights.

Our family of 6 had a memorable stay at Renata’s. She made us feel at home and cozy. It felt like she knew us for a long time and we were visiting family. She really tried her best to help us feel at home by getting a translator to help us explore the city. She even made sure we had parking for free. La Spezia is a place for adventure. Walking down to the train station or taking the bus to get to Cinque Terre. Will use her place again.

No tourists in area - you feel part of local community Suite was spacious and clean Lovely back patio with table and chairs Locked/gated parking at end of street City has lovely waterfront and park - vibrant Great spot for taking off to the Cinque Terre (by car, train or boat) and more northern towns/villages.

Renata is a host extraordinaire and is committed to ensuring her guests have the best experience. Renata provided all transportation to and from the train station on arrival/departures for all of my guests, provides resto recommendations/makes the reservations and is available 24/7 for anything the guest requires. Renata messages through Whatsapp for more detailed conversations. The timeliness of her communication is also excellent and immediate.The accommodation is clean, well appointed and spacious . There is no microwave. We used the oven to warm up pizza, make bruschetta etc. There is no North American coffee machine but there is a Bialetti which my family was a pro at using. The holiday home is in a residential area, not a tourist area which was appealing for us. We LOVED the garden. It is accessible by foot for every place you need to go including groceries, produce, and patisserie. The bus system is excellent. The #3 Bus makes life very easy to get everywhere you need to go. Also in the neighbourhood is a fantastic resto Osteria da Caran which is a local place with an amazing patio. We highly recommend. Renata will make reservations for you! Do not hesitate to book this vacation rental. We all LOVED Renata and the vacation rental!

Renata was a wonderful host. She went above and beyond to make our stay an enjoyable one. Her home is lovely with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths and more than enough space for the 3 of us. The garden was beautiful and a nice place to enjoy the lovely weather we had during our visit. She picked us up at the station so we didn’t have to carry our luggage, had all sorts of recommendations and made reservations for us for dinner. It’s obvious that she loves hosting and wanted to make sure that we had a wonderful trip. It was in a great location and easily accessible to Cinque Terre by train. She treated us like family. We highly recommend her place and would definitely stay again if ever coming back to Cinque Terre.

Our family really enjoyed this property in Le Spezia. We arrived really late on a train, yet Renata (our host) arranged her colleagues to meet us and acquaint us with the property. The patio was lovely to eat breakfast on and there was plenty of space for our family of six. Renata was even kind enough to stock our fridge with a few food items for breakfast! This location worked very well for us to do a day trip in Cinque Terra and we would definitely recommend it.

Great house with the best host ever

We chose this place based on reviews of Renata as well as the location. As others have said she is great. The house was comfy and clean and a short bus ride to the train or downtown. It’s about 20 minutes walk to the train. Everything we needed for the stay was provided. Renata is amazing. She picked us up at the train, made a reservation at a neighborhood restaurant and helped us figure out how to tour thr 5 towns. She drove us to Port Venere and told us all about the area. She helped us find the right boat to go from there to one of the 5 towns. She also took us to the train when we departed. Our stay in La Spezia was wonderful thanks to Renata

Fantastica

From the moment you meet Renata your host you will feel like she is your family. She has a beautiful heart soul and personality. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and it’s so many extra things you would not normally expect a host to do. My friend is very tall and was so absolutely in love with the extra long bathtub. Her adorable apartment was clean and quiet. We were close to transportation within walking distance but she also made herself available when she could. Don’t worry if you can’t speak Italian she is amazing with Google Translate. She told us that whoever comes to stay with her they become her family and she means that from the heart. It is a great place to explore the Cinque Terre.
