w The Cinque Terre would have to be
one of my favourite places in Italy. It is
great for all ages and offers all types
of accommodation to suit all budgets.
Last year my family & I stayed at the
Hotel Firenze & Continintiale, a beautiful
family run hotel in La Spezia. This hotel
is across the road from the station (no
steps so you can wheel your luggage
over in no time!). Rates are reasonable
and rooms are beautifully presented.
Honestly one of the best breakfasts I’ve
had in an Italian 3 star hotel. La Spezia
has good shopping. There is a ZARA
store for the shoppers! Great cheap
restaurants & La Spezia is only a 10
minute train ride to the Cinque Terre.
I
would highly recommend the Firenze
in La Spezia to clients who are looking
for good value accommodation and
wonderful hospitality.
w Special Offer at the Firenze &
Continentiale 2 nights for $238 pp
including breakfast & the Cinque
Terre Card
