The Casetta del Vicolo is located in one of the most charming and authentic areas of La Spezia, just a short walk from the historic center and the train station, yet sheltered from the hustle and bustle of more touristy spots. This neighborhood retains the city's most genuine spirit, characterized by quiet alleys, staircases, small pastel-colored buildings, and an atmosphere that is still closely tied to the daily lives of its residents. Within a few steps, you can find local shops, bakeries, cafés, and traditional restaurants where you can savor Ligurian specialties like farinata, focaccia, and fresh seafood from the Gulf. The abundance of amenities – from supermarkets to bus stops – makes this area particularly convenient for those looking to enjoy a practical stay while immersing themselves in local life. The location is perfect for visiting the Cinque Terre, which can be easily reached by train in about 10 minutes, as well as the beautiful towns of Portovenere and Lerici, accessible by both car and public transport. Its proximity to the marina and pedestrian avenues in the center allows for easy exploration of La Spezia itself, with its museums, seaside gardens, and historic markets. The vicinity of Vicolo dei Bugi, where the apartment is situated, is entirely pedestrian, peaceful, and safe – ideal for unwinding after a day of excursions, enveloped by the tranquility of a seaside town that still retains its authentic charm.
