    I recently stayed at Casa Esmeralda in La Spezia and had a wonderful experience. The apartment was impeccably clean and well-maintained, making for a very comfortable stay. Its location is incredibly convenient, being just a short walk from the train station, which made exploring the surrounding areas a breeze. Esmeralda, the host, was exceptionally kind and welcoming. She went out of her way to ensure that I had everything I needed and provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining options. While the area is generally safe, it can feel a bit less lively at night. However, I never felt unsafe and found that taking standard precautions was more than sufficient. A tip for fellow travelers: make sure to visit Spezialità, Focacceria Bistrò. Their focaccia is absolutely delicious and a must-try when you're in La Spezia. Overall, I highly recommend Casa Esmeralda for anyone visiting La Spezia. It's a great base for exploring the region, and Esmeralda's hospitality truly makes it a standout choice.

    Esmeralda was a fantastic friendly host and made the stay at Casa Esmeralda a wonderful one. The apartment is neatly decorated, stylish touches throughout (beautiful bathroom) and the bed was super comfortable. I felt very safe inside the apartment and I liked how you can lock the door to the dressing room / bathroom / bedroom. A cute terrace to enjoy also.

    Esmeralda was such a warm, kind and professional host. The property was clean, modern, large in size. Comfy beds and loved the terrace. The location was a quick walk to lots of shops, restaurants and a market. Extremely convenient to have a grocery steps away. I would definitely recommend this property to everyone.

    We rented two of Esmeralda's apartments for a family/friends trip. We would rate 15 stars if we could. Esmeralda was the sweetest and warmest host ever and she went out of her way to make sure that our stay was enjoyable. Communication was excellent from beginning to end. The apartments were absolutely beautiful, so well designed and had every amenity we could possibly want. Location was an easy walk to the train station, great restaurants and shopping. We highly recommend staying at Casa Esmeralda and hope to be able to return for another visit.

    If you’re a light sleeper and sleeping on the sofa bed in the lounge room, although there is frosted glass on the window, you may still be bothered by the streetlight.

    Esmeralda was so sweet and lovely. She was very helpful with answering any questions we had. She provides daily cleaning where she refills water, croissants and biscuits. It was the best feeling coming back to a freshly cleaned and fully stocked place. The location is good as it is close to the train station and a 10-15 min walk to restaurants, shops and the main town centre. The supermarket was a few doors down. Although the train station was close and you could hear the trains pass, it did not affect our sleep. We felt safe as there was extra security with a gate in front of the front door.

    Esmeralda was an amazing host, who was always available for questions and regulary checked on us. The apartment was always clean and we were daily provided with water and snacks. We also received a lot of information for the area as well as restaurant recommendations, which we happily used! A supermarket is 50m away and the train station about 7min by walk. We would definitely come back

    We are on a 3 month Europe trip and this was the best place we have stayed! Esmeralda is so kind and offers many recommendations in the area. She is available at any time to help with anything! She went above and beyond cleaning the place each morning and leaving waters every day! The pull out bed was even really comfortable!! Wish we didn’t have to leave her place! Next time I am in the area will definitely be booking with her again!

    Some neighbors are noisy but didn’t affect our sleep.

    Everything. Located near the train station and very close to the supermarket. The apartment was clean. Is very modern and equipped with all the necessary things. We traveled with a 6-month-old baby and a cot was provided. The bed was one of the best - we slept as babies. The best part was the host. She is the best host you can find in La Spezia. Every day she cleaned, always left us something to snack on, helped us with recommendations, answered us at all times, and always provided help. We recommend this location

    The water flow was a big slow in the toilet sink. But that’s a very minor problem.

    Very nice apartment! Newly renovated and very fresh, clean. Esmeralda, the host, is nice and super friendly!!! The location was also very good, lower than 10 min walk to La Spezia train station. Very easy to get to Cinque Terre. A grocery store was very nearby. Everything was excellent!

    The WiFi was a little slow but I think it is the area .

    We stayed at Casa Esmeralda over the Easter weekend. We picked La Spezia as a base for exploring the Cinque Terre. Esmeralda is a wonderful host and is very helpful and friendly. She made us feel very welcome. The apartment is a 10 minute walk from the train station, which was perfect for us. There is a supermarket close by. Although close to the train line we did not hear the trains at night. The apartment is beautifully decorated and is very new. I loved staying here!
