Hotels near La Spezia, Liguria, Italy

Hotel Rondine, Marinella di Sarzana

The Hotel Rondine, Marinella di Sarzana is located near to the beach in a small village between La Spezia and Livorno on the Golfo dei Poeti - this beautiful stretch of coastline earned its name because of its popularity with the likes of Byron, Shelley and Petrarch.

La Spezia offers plenty of cultural distractions, such as the celebrated Museo Amedeo Lia, which is a beautifully-renovated 17th century Franciscan convent that is now home to an outstanding collection of medieval and Renaissance art. The paintings - by Titian, Bellini and many others - attract art lovers from across Europe. Other sites of interest in La Spezia include the Naval Museum and the black-and-white striped duomo of Santa Maria Assunta. The pretty peninsula town of Portovenere is also worth visiting, and you can take a boat ride around its three little islets offshore. From Hotel Rodine you are also within easy reach of the stunning cliffside villages of the Cinque Terre, where there are some fantastic trails for keen hikers.

This Marinella di Sarzana hotel has 60 spacious rooms, all with private bathrooms, colour TV and direct-dial telephones. Many have spectacular sea views from either the balcony or window. The restaurant has an elegant dining terrace which also boasts panoramic views over the Ligurian coast. A hearty breakfast is included in the price of the room, and there are many facilities on offer at the hotel, such as 24-hour concierge services, meeting rooms and photocopying. Whether you plan a relaxing break in the village itself, or you plan to take a tour further afield, Hotel Rodine provides a perfect base.
