Hotel is located around a 20 min drive to La Spezia where you can catch the train to Cinque Terre to see the 5 towns. Showed up no problem on the GPS. Also, it is only a 10 minute drive to the quarries where the marble that was used in the Statue of David in Florence was mined. The room we stayed in with 2 kids was very large, even for US standards. Only complaint would be the tub and shower, kind of small. Otherwise this hotel was excellent. The staff went out of there way to help us. No matter what time we showed back up at the hotel they met us at the car to help with our kids and bags. We had a large breakfast each morning that included fresh cut fruits (peaches, pineapple, strawberries, and melon), ham, cheese, bread, jams, cereal, milk, juice, pastries, and coffee made on the spot to order. Also offered eggs if we wanted them.
Can not say enough about how friendly the hotel staff was.
