Varano Vacation Rentals

"Hotel was clean and breakfast was very good. Next to the train station and a short walk to Cinque Terre ferry. Only negative was the very small shower and lack of water pressure. Overall it was very good."

"Very well equipped apartment, complimentary Nespresso pods and bottled water was a nice touch. Really enjoyed our stat."

"Nice room with nice view, in a walkable distance to rests. and ferry terminal, strong A/C and a nice rooftop."

"Elisa & Simone are the best. They were SO kind to us as we arrived. The room was ready early, so we were able to leave our luggage in the room as we enjoyed our first day. They shared amazing restaurant recommendations and places to see in the Cinc Terre region and Porto Venere. We were so grateful for how kind and welcoming they were. The property is clean and beautiful--we will definitely be back!"

"Updated, comfortable, super breakfast, and perfectly located midway between the train station and ferries."

"Very central and they helped me store my bag and carried it upstairs for me."

"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! "

"The experience was amazing! Maristella was great at communicating prior to check in prior to arrival and day of stay. She was responsive to requests. I had to stay an extra day because of train strike and though she had nothing available, she made a wonder recommendation. I loved the area of town my stay was in. It was convenient to everything. I would stay here again in a heartbeat ❤️"

"Great stay! In a great location for restaurants and a quick walk to the train station to visit cinque terre. "
