My partner and I stayed in a suite room at Al Convento for 2 nights as part of a 2 week Europe holiday. We flew into Pisa and picked up a brand new 1.3L diesel Fiat Punto hire car and drove up to La Spezia, which we managed pretty easily with just the paper maps they give you at the... More

We stayed here for three nights. Our room was not as pleasant looking as others however you can tell that a talented decorator has been at work in the hotel. The bed was not at all comfortable and the mattresses need replacement. The shower stall is tiny. The climb up the hill is for confident drivers only and was stressful.... More

We were 3 families staying in 3 different rooms one Friday night in June. This hotel is a fantastic gem, lying on a hill close to La Spezia. We traveled around Italy for two weeks and this was the most memorable place we stayed in. The hotel itself is plain and simple, but very original with high quality rooms. All... More

I like historical hotels and often book one. Vezzano is a lovely place. But: 1. It is some 25 minutes drive to the center of La Spezia. Or, as we did, 10 min. drive to the train station and then 15 min. to La Spezia 2. We payed 100 Euro p/night in April, which is out of season, the hotel... More

My family of four (including my 9 and 11 year old daughters) stayed at this converted nunnery for 2 nights. ROOMS Large and very clean. Good size bathroom. We had the choice of two rooms and both were very different in appearance but very nice. SERVICE The hotel staff could speak enough English to allow basic communication as well as... More

We loved this hotel - it took a little while to find it as you have to climb up the mountain which made for some fun driving! When you arrive you can hardly believe that a hotel would be in this little village up this mountain! The views were wonderful, room was very clean and traditional. The local's were nice... More

Such a wonderfully pleasant place to stay. We were there for two nights and the weather was cold and pouring rain. Our room was still bright, warm and cozy. The decor is great - everything is newly renovated with blond wood. The rooms are bright with roomy baths. The staff was very pleasant. You can eat off the floor, it's... More

We were in the Cinque Terre region for two days and decided to stay in La Spezia area since hotels and BBs in the CT were overpriced. We made a great choice. Hotel Relais Al Convento is located in Vezzano Ligure, a little village at the end of a two-lane road that leads to the top of a hill. It... More

Used this hotel as our base for touring Cinque Terre. What a great choice. It was hard to find originally as we thought it was in La Spezia. However, if using a GPS ensure you input the city as Vezzano Ligure which is only 10 minutes from La Spezia. The hotel is a small converted convent. The room was nice... More
