“Heavenly Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2011

Hotel Nella was the best surprise we had during our visit to Italy. Mind you, it takes a little persistance to get to the hotel....but it is well worth the effort. Our room was large (by European standards), spotless, very comfortable, and quiet. The peaceful surroundings were a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the other cities we had visited. We enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant and the breakfasts we very nice. There is a restaurant across the street where we enjoyed a dinner as well. It was a beautiful setting and we enjoyed sitting on our balcony and enjoying the cool evening air each night. This was the perfect place for us to stay while revelling in the wonders of Cinque Terre!

The bus (La Foca) leaves from below the train station and takes about 10 - 15 minutes to arrive at the hotel - the last bus runs at 8:00 pm - so you cannot stay out late! But after hiking all day in Cinque Terre - it was actually nice to have an excuse to go back to the hotel and relax (you cannot walk the distance as it is a very steep winding road - and you could never carry anything, like luggage, up this grade). The bus will take you down to La Spezia each morning and you can easily catch the train to Cinque Terre!

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 24, 2011

Fantastic family run hotel that offers a taste of country Italy and friendly Italian hospitality. Well priced large room that included free WIFI and Foxtel TV. Free secure parking is available directly across the street. Drive into town takes approx. 5-10 minutes. The hotel offers well priced and very tasty meals as does the restaurant directly opposite the hotel. We thoroughly recommend this hotel for those who are looking for the "real" Italian country feel. Be aware that there are quite a few steps to walk to get to the rooms(no lifts) but the hotel staff are happy to assist with luggage.

“Great Hotel!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 19, 2011

Rooms a little dated but clean! Our room had a TINY bathroom, the shower SO tiny that it was extremely hard to do anything in it (like wash body or hair). Our son and daughter-in-law paid 10 euros more and got a huge bathroom and a balcony. If we had known, we would have gotten a room like that. Reception VERY helpful! He told us where we could park our car for free and take a short train ride to cinque terre. Wifi worked fine. Breakfast, a normal Italian breakfast (we LOVE all Italian meals except for their breakfasts.) Great coffee and hot chocolate, though :)

“Great little hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2011

We are a family of four. Our boys are 12 and 13 years old. We stayed at Hotel Nella for three nights in July. We really enjoyed our stay. The room was very spacious and the bathroom had two showers. The hotel is small and has a nice little vibe to it. The staff was very nice and provided great service. We ate at the hotel for dinner one night and all the food was very good. We also ate at the little restaurant around the corner. It was one of the best meals we had during our entire three week trip (try the rabbit).

The hotel isn't in La Spezia. It's actually in a very small village called La Foce about 3 miles from the train station. Once you figure out the bus schedule or if you have a car it's very easy to get to. The views of the bay and the mountains are spectacular from the little village. We took the bus to and from the train station daily because we spent most of our time in Cinque Terre.

The hotel and tiny village was a very pleasant retreat after spending our day exploring a very busy Cinque Terre.

“Clean, Friendly and good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 6, 2011

This hotel is a great option if you do not want to stay in central Spezia or directly on the water in CinqueTerra. We wanted a place where we could park the car and spend a nice evening before touring Liguria and E R. The hotel is clean and is right next to a hiking trail.
