Bed and Breakfast Da Fiorina - Vezzano Ligure, La Spezia

very charming people, who made us feel very welcome

Very good welcome from Fiorina and Roberto, very nice breakfast, quiet room, near of the train station to La Spezia.

Friendly, quiet house on somewhat rural hillside. Disappointed in breakfast (only cake and jam). Bathroom not adjoining and broken toilet. Host very accomodating to tourists.

This was not up to standard for tourist accommodation. Access was difficult and unattractive. Rooms were dreary and there was a pervasive, unpleasant odour. Wardobes contained clothing, presumably belonging to the owner. Service was hospitable, but did not make up for the physical shortcomings. Anyone wanting to access the Cinque Terre would be better advised to look for accommodation in or near Levanto.

it wasn't clearly stated it was a room with no bathroom

Good for the price. Very friendly, communication was Italian only on our arrival so difficult to find. Small hot water tank so if more than two guests the shower might be cold.

Rooms were clean, good breakfast. Car required, location is hard to find, make sure you have a navigation sysetm or good map :-) However, good location as basis for daytrip to La Spezia, Cinque Terre etc. We would go there again!

Quiet location, and great communal space if travelling with a family (we had six), but the only issue is the kitchen area was quite dirty and when we asked for detergent and a tea towel we got detergent that looked like it had been in the backyard for 6 months, and a dirty tea towel.

We thought that the accomodation was of a good standard.The lounge dining room was spacious with plenty of room for dining,cooking and watching tv/sitting around.Roberto's help in getting to Chinque Terre was excellent.However the state of the grounds around hotel was untidy and could put clients off.

We wanted to just 'chill out' for a few days and our stay at da Fiorina was a very pleasant experience - Roberto and his Mother make charming hosts, he was very helpful with his recommendations of what to see and do and how to get there. Very convenient to the local railway station for access to La Spezia and Cinque Terre. [Very light sleepers may hear the occasional freight train at night, but it didn't bother us] Excellent clean accommodation, nice large rooms and clean shared bathroom with shower. We found getting to the location the first time a bit of a challenge! Once settled in, we enjoyed using Da Fiorina as a base for 6 nights whilst we looked around and it was fun to just relax. Good filling breakfasts - perhaps the hosts should consider varying the selection somewhat for people who stay multiple nights. But overall highly recommended and excellent value.

We were there for one day. House owners are VERY friendly, sympathic and ready to help whereever they can. VERY romantic garden. Calm and sight are marvellous. Inside is simple but functional. The furnitures of the 6 bed appart we had were, alas, quite used. I would go back there for inexpensive and calm holidays and to discover the region.

Room was clean and spacious, not always quiet as the railway is nearby (luckily trains are not very frequent and don't run too late at night). Location is about 10 min drive to La Spezia from where the train to Cinqueterre can be taken. The owners are very friendly and ready to help with information, tips and maps of the area, they make you feel welcome and at ease in a relaxed atmosphere were you can meet other travellers and get a taste of italian lifestyle. Breakfast is good and abundant, with coffee or tea, orange juice, bread, butter and marmelade, delicious focacce and good company! We felt really on holidays and treated as family guests because everything was arranged for us in the best possible way. P.S. I realized only after reading the comments that the bathroom is a shared facility, I would suggest to Venere to make it clearer on the web.

Very nice people, who helped us where they good. Roberto take us to railway station when we visit the Cinque Terre.

Outstanding customer service! Roberto and his mother exceeded all expectations. While his mother speaks Italiano only, he has a good command of English as is a great source of information regarding local dining, transportation and areas of interest. They are very gracious hosts. They are very concerned about their guests' comfort.

We have stay here just 1 day during our 8-days trip around Italy, but this day was the best one. If you would like to feel the real Italian country life, you should stay here! There is a lonely private farmer house, with romantic quiet environment (fruit and olive gardens). Stylish furniture, modern kitchen with all necessary stuff for cooking, perfect bathroom. Very hospitable owners provide you typical Italian breakfast. Ask them to show you the small restaurant near apartment incredibly tasty pizza and house wine in! Just several minutes by car from La Spezia, Cinque Terre National Park and Sea. The railway station also close to house. The way to apartment is easy to find by asking villagers or just making a call to owners. We are definitely will stay here again in summer!

wonderful and charming! would have enjoyed a longer stay. Roberto and his mother are great company as well as hosts!

Excellent option. "In the middle of nowhere" but fast access to motorway La Spezia and other directions. Very polite service and helpful advices. Breakfast very nice and private atmosphere. We can only recommend this nice place.

We ended up having a self-contained floor which was so handy for preparing our own meals. Roberto and his mother were very helpful - Roberto even drove us to the station / bus stop as we were a fair distance from La Spezia and Cinque Terre. (The train home on Sunday evening was cancelled and so had to find a bus to take us back). Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Roberto and his mother Fiorina, are wonderful. Roberto jumps at any opportunity to help in any way he can. Rooms are nice and the breakfast is good.

Total abgelegenes Haus, für jemanden auf der Durchreise OK. Der Anspruch darf jedoch nicht allzu hoch sein. Deutsch wird nicht verstanden - nur englisch.

Roberto and his mother welcomed us warmly, Roberto with his very good English and his mother with her Italian and broad smile. The next morning we were to take the train to Cinque Terre and Roberto volunteered to drive us to the train station. A delay caused by other guests made us late for the train, so Roberto drove us all the way to the first of the Cinque Terre towns, stopping once for the view back towards La Spezia as a bonus! He was a gracious host, very helpful in every way.

If you have a car, this is a nice quiet place to stay. But it is difficult to find because the directions as translated by Venere are confusing. The "plaza" is really just an intersection. A small one at that. The "river" is a very small creek. Once you get that it shouldn't be hard to find. We drove from this place in La Spezia to the train to the Cinque Terre and explored the Cinque Terre in one late afternoon. The house was quiet and spacious. The view out the bedroom window was lovely. We did not find a restaurant to eat at in the area, but we were late coming back. Everything was closed.

You should put a complete itinary to find the house because we thougt we were lost... It's difficult to find. The owners of the house are very kind and helpful.

Our hosts were welcoming, cheerful and generous with their time. We were impressed with the transport service between public transport and the house, and local advise given which made our stay more rewarding.

We loved that place!! Very polyte people...Very happy, attencious, honest... The problem was the distance between the Vezzano Train Station and La Fiorina. In the site indicate 800 mts, but I believe that is much more!!

The directions indicate a turn near a Fina gas station. it is now a Total and has been for about one year. This should be corrected. The room was very spacious and the staff very friendly.
