Vacation Rentals in La Spezia

La Spezia is a lively and charming coastal town in Liguria. It extends on a narrow strip of land and is bordered by mountains on one side and the sea on the other. As a result, a lively cityscape has developed here in which you can expect numerous holiday accommodations. How about a holiday apartment or an apartment in the colourful centre around the Prione quarter? Or would you rather spend your holidays in an old country inn converted into a holiday home?

The capital of the province of La Spezia in northern Italy is the second largest municipality in the Liguria region, after the regional capital of Genoa. By the way, this is about 70 kilometres away. La Spezia lies on the gulf of the same name, which stretches as a bay with a length of 4.6 kilometres and a width of 3.2 kilometres deep inland. Outside La Spezia, the Cinque Terre National Park begins, while in the hinterland there are ridges of hills and fertile valleys where fruit and vines are grown.

La Spezia is often unfairly dismissed as an industrial city. The area of the old town, which stretches between the railway station and the harbour, is a real gem. Stroll through the Prione Quarter and the pedestrian zone of Via Prione, which leads down to the harbour, or stroll up the hill to the impressive Castello San Giorgio.

Just a short drive from your vacation rental in La Spezia you will find the Vara Valley or Val di Vara. The fertile valley is fed by the river Vara, on whose banks numerous small villages and ancient castles can be found. Follow the Via Aurelia, which runs along the bottom of the valley to Genoa, and take long walks in the green and unspoilt countryside. This area is still a real insider tip, so make it your business to explore the most beautiful villages and the best wineries in the area!

The area of the Cinque Terre National Park comprises an approximately 12-kilometre-long coastal strip northwest of La Spezia, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The special feature of the area is the mountain range, which slopes steeply towards the sea, hiding five picturesque villages in five steep cuts: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. The villages are situated in small valleys and the journey by train is an experience in itself.

You will find more than 1000 accommodations from numerous providers in La Spezia. These can be rented from 50 € per night. Many of the holiday accommodations can be booked online, which is faster and more convenient than an enquiry to the landlord.
