The hotel has a stunning location on top of the hill. Very nicely appointed and spacious rooms. But the best part was having a drink at the local bar and having a meal where the locals eat. So we knew it was all authentic. There also a great little grocery store nearby with friendly owners. It's out of the way,... More

Difficult to find, but once you drive up the narrow winding road its worth it. We found the whole village charming and glad we stayed there on our way to Cinque Terre. The rooms we were given were nicely appointed , warm & comfortable with the only criticisms being the cramped shower recess & the long narrow flights of steps... More

Stayed 2 nights in this hotel, great customer service, located next to a wonderful little restaurant. Hotel room was clean. Location required use of a car but well worth the trip to get out of the city and experience the countryside & relax!

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
