Palmaria Island, Italy hotel rooms at the Relais & Chateaux

"Had a peaceful stay at this spot! As a solo traveler heading to cinque terre this was a lovely place for a stopover. Grocery store was right down the street and the place was safe and clean! Exceeded my expectations! "

"To our complete surprise, Hotel Poet may go down as the best accommodations we have experienced in Italy to date. You are greated by friendly multi-lingual staff in a climate controlled, modern hotel, that is extremely easy to walk too from La Spezia's train station ( 500m ) Once we got to our room, we quickly realized the pictures were accurate, if not underserving the property as it looked and felt fantastic. Each room has a digital control for the A/C, which we set to 19*C as it was 35+ everyday we stayed, and found it to be the best night sleep we've both had in months. Windows have black out curtains, normal curtains, and shades offering you a truly relaxed and comfortable environment to relax in when trying to avoid the heat. Breakfast is a definite must add as well, not only did it make the process that much easier, it's also fantastic. Large assortment of options for almost any level of pickiness ( I am quite picky myself ). Wifi was strong, not sure what previous comments suggesting otherwise we're talking about, at least from our experience. Showers have rain drop heads, and lots of space, which feels rare in the otherwise cramped style most of Italy conforms too. Our only suggestion would be to add conditioner, as shampoo and body wash just aren't enough in this heat. Couldn't be happier with our stay! "

"Viola was great. Very friendly. Gave us good info. Our room was very clean, helped to reserve a private parking spot for us. Beds were very comfortable. It’s above the train station but we didn’t really hear the trains. It’s so convenient that we could take a train to and back from Cinque Terre right next door. Breakfast was included but had to go claim our breakfasts from the nearby cafe. It was good, too. Will stay there again next time if we visit Cinque Terre. "

"Best "

"The staff were extremely helpful and smiling!"

"Everything about the apartment is excellent and perfect. However, it is in a SUPER busy area! Maybe that's what you're looking for! Coffee across the street, groceries the next block, the bridge to all the sites just minutes away. And again, the apartment is excellent and perfect."

"Very friendly staff, walkable to restaurants and shops, very good breakfast."

"Beautiful hotel. Great food. Close to train station. "

"Wonderful hotel room "
