La Spezia bed and breakfasts

We had the most amazing stay at Il Vigneto in the charming town of Volastra! Our room was clean, spacious, and simply but functional, and had a breathtaking view of the ocean from the window. The views from the panoramic terrace are even better, though it was too cold and windy in the mornings that we were there so we ate breakfast in the cozy kitchen instead. Breakfast was simple but delicious with breads, jams, pastries, and yogurt with coffee and juice - perfect fuel for a day of hiking! And the hiking in the area was incredible! From Volastra you can easily hike to Manarola or Corniglia, or take a longer route to any of the other towns. For times when you don't want to hike, there is a regular shuttle bus between Volastra and Manarola, though it was a bit tight when we arrived with our luggage and we only had carry-on size suitcases. The B&B was easy to find by following the hosts instructions from the shuttle drop off point. They provided a key code to get in the front door and then our keys were in our room door so we didn't have to formally check in until the next morning at breakfast. The hosts were so kind and welcoming, even going so far as to offer us a ride to La Spezia on the day we were leaving because I was completely incapacitated with a stomach flu. I felt so well taken care of! We also got to do a tasting of the wine the host makes from his vineyards, which was very cool! Overall, our only regret is that we didn't stay longer in this amazing place!
