The hotel is a five-minute walk from the town centre and steps from the ferry terminal to Cinque Terre National Park. Private boat tours to Palmaria Island and the Cinque Terre villages can be arranged through the concierge.
Dining
Palmaria Restaurant serves fresh local seafood and specialities from the Cinque Terre, with a terrace overlooking the harbour. A complimentary gourmet breakfast uses locally sourced ingredients and is served on the panoramic terrace. The hotel also offers cooking classes and a wine bar with regional selections.

The hotel provides electric vehicle charging stations, accessible parking, and a shuttle service to La Spezia and Genoa airports. Concierge services include booking guided walking tours, bike tours, and live music performances at the bar.
