It was definitely a lot of stairs to climb after a full day of exploring. I think the apartment is on the 5th floor. Plus a long row of steps from the street to the building. Luckily, there was a rear entrance we used to park our vespa and saved us two flights of stairs each day.

Clean, small balcony, nice AC in the bedroom.

The property was amazing very comfortable and clean. However, it was hard lugging our suitcases up 6 flights of stairs with no elevator and it was confusing trying to find the actual building. Communication was great! Reply’s were instant and very kind host.

The only drawbacks, but by no means a deal breaker, was that the fridge did not work well, the safe is not fixed to the wall and the accommodation is on the top fourth floor with no building lift. The quality of the accommodation far outweighed these three items, and the friendliness of our host was most welcoming.

The room was large and spacious and newly renovated with quality furnishings and finishes with a wonderfully comfortable Kingsize bed. The bath room being newly renovated was quality. The apartment is quite secure. We had difficulty in finding the place (our fault) and the host was extremely helpful in meeting us and personally walking us to Affittacamere Bellavista and even carrying one of our bags. The location is very good, being approx. 800m from the railway station and approx. 400m to the main dining and shopping precincts of La Spezia. We would definitely stay at Affittacamere Bellavista again.

If you travel with heavy suitcase, there is no life and had to carry it to 6th floor. There was no light in the corridor and it was too dark at night walking to the room

Very clean and very comfortable Nice decoration Nice view to the mountain Grear location near to station, nice restaurant and walking distance to shops

Only negative was that the refrigerator didn’t work properly which was a bummer as we had bought a few things for breakfast that spoiled.

The property was exceptionally clean and very spacious. The bathroom facilities were fantastic. Located very close to the train station and a short walk to the town centre and marina promenade. There are lots of stairs to get to the apartment (> 5 flights) so do keep that in mind in you have lots of luggage.

Only minor was there are a few stairs, but great to add to the step count :) little noisy from next door flat but only minor

Excellent location, lovely clean rooms, comfy beds and great for access to cinque terre via train. La spezia was a nice base too!!

There are almost 150 steps from the road to the apartment with no elevator.

Location and facilities. Very responsive host, fixed AC late on Saturday night.

The hair dryer was not very powerful and would over heat quickly, which wasn't a big problem for us, bring your own if you need a good one. As others have mentioned there's quite a lot of stairs you must climb to reach the apartment, which wasn't a big problem for us as we did not have big suitcases.

We loved the view, shower and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were very helpful in giving us local dining tips and we loved the daily room service clean. The location is fantastic, it's a short walk to the train station and lively areas with a lot of cafes, bars and restaurants whilst still being very quiet in our room.

The apartment was on the 5th floor with no elevator and the small street couldn't be accessed by car. We are young/fit but I would definitely not recommend this for older people.

Location, the bed and shower

The stairs to the rooms were a lot in the hot summer weather and the location was a little hard to find

Nice and clean room with a supeisingly good shower

it was difficult to find and some people outside at the back street was noisy but it’s not fault of the Affittacamere. would be great to have hair conditioner.

nice and spacious room. Near to the train station.

the only bad was the stairs to get to the bedroom. it was a total of 88 stairs (you need to climb a few more to get to the building). there is no elevator.

location very good. 10 minutes walking from la spezia station. room is like an hotel room. the bed is comfortable and the pressure of the shower is great. it has a small fridge and kettle with nescafe, sugar and biscuits. the view from the window is nice.

Poor communication about how to check in, photos were picked of the other best looking room with some retouch - they really don’t give the same vibe as the photos. It looks like a house has been converted into 4 separate rooms and corridor is dividing one from another. It wasn’t too bad overall bur it wasn’t what we saw online.

It was clean

All good thanks

Very tasteful recent renovation, very efficient Air Conditioning was appreciated and the location close to everything one needed.

The fact that it’s located on the fourth floor of an apartment building without an escalator, but this is a minor point since we were made aware of this before booking

The apartment itself, especially the terrace, and the room service which we weren’t expecting

Great location, close to train station and city centre. Daily room cleaning was good.

Liked it all… mind you my husband did carry up the suitcases 😉

Loved everything about our apartment, especially the verandah. It is in a slightly rundown looking area but only one street over from the main restaurant, shopping street, so in the ideal position. Only about a five minute walk to the train station and about 15 to the ferry. I know people have mentioned, complained, about the stairs… but … it is the Cinque Terra, and coming here means you need to climb if you want views and experiences. Be prepared and have fun with it, being up as high as we were meant we went to sleep to swallows song not bar noises and were woken by seagulls not traffic😊.

Having to leave

Room 3 has a verandah, which makes it etraordinary. Room 1 is just a Room, by comparison. We were lucky enough to have the host let us change to Room 3 after the first 2 days, for a reasonable extra payment. Spectacular.

Eveything's perfect. View from the balcony, proxmity of city center, proximity of the station to visit Cinque Terre

Initially it was difficult for the taxi to find the venue but he got us a close as he could! This should have been our first warning as to access the building we had to climb with our luggage up a series of about 35 steps. Unfortunately, Bellavista was a group of renovated rooms at the top of a building and not a hotel as we expected! To access our room, we had to climb up five stories with double flights of stairs for each floor. THERE WAS NO ELEVATOR! As we are both over 70 years of age carrying suitcases and accessing our room every day after each outside excursion, proved to be extremely difficult No where when we were booking was the inaccessibility mentioned! The lady who met us should have realised how difficult our stay would be She should have offered us an alternative! Unfortunately, as we had already paid in full we were not in a position to find alternative accommodation on our own. In fact we think she was mildly amused at our predicament! Even the other, much younger tenants we met were also unhappy about the accessibility. The key to access the back road entrance didn't work. This would have saved us one floor of stairs. It was also falsely named Bellavista What a joke as the vista that we could see was the the nearby flats with overgrown wastelands! Nothing bella about it! No blind on the bedroom window making it bright both during the night and in the morning Fridge was not cold enough or of a suitable size to store any food and we had to throw out milk. SHAME ON YOU BOOKING.COM for even supporting such an accommodation.

Great location handy to train station and restaurants. Modern and clean facilities. Nice cleaner who could speak English.

A very nice, clean apartment. Great terrace. Decent bathroom. It's on the 4-5th floor so you need to like climbing;)
