The Property — Fittacamere Delaide
Fittacamere Delaide is a clean, no-frills three-star in La Spezia’s pedestrian centre. The lobby is small, tiled and functional – think practical furniture, a reception desk and a noticeboard with train times. It suits budget travellers who need a base for the Cinque Terre ferries or trains, and who value location over lounge space.
Chronicles of La Spezia
La Spezia grew from a fishing village into Italy’s largest naval base after the Risorgimento. Its 19th-century grid of boulevards and arcades was built to house Navy personnel and dockworkers. The city’s modern identity is split between a working port, a modest historic core (the old town around Via del Prione) and a role as the gateway to the Cinque Terre. Culturally, it’s less touristy than the villages – more real, but also more concrete.
Best Time to Visit
Full La Spezia guide →Best months
May–June and September are ideal: warm enough for swimming, blue skies, but pre- or post-peak madness. June crowds are building but still manageable early in the month.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak – schools out, Europe on holiday, Cinque Terre trails jammed by 10am. Hotel prices in La Spezia spike 30–50%, and the ferry queues at the port are long. The Palio del Golfo (first Sunday of August) draws rowing crowds from all five villages.
Budget shoulder season
Late April (spring flowers, Easter if late) and October (still mild, harvest season) offer 20–30% discounts on summer rates, quieter trains and empty beaches. Weather can be mixed – pack for sun and showers.
Weather & packing
La Spezia’s gulf traps humidity – summer feels stickier than the coastal forecast suggests. Pack light layers, a quick-dry towel and a reusable water bottle: public fountains (fontanelle) are everywhere, but you’ll need it for the hike between Monterosso and Vernazza.
Live City Briefing — La Spezia
- The Cinque Terre express trains (Regionale Veloce) have been cut back on Sundays from June – check the Trenitalia app for the 2026 summer timetable.
- La Spezia’s new pedestrian zone on Via Chiodo (the main shopping street) extends to Piazza Verdi, making it easier to walk to the port but harder for drop-offs near the hotel.
- The Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre now requires pre-booking (€7.50 trail pass) for the Sentiero Azzurro during summer weekends – book at least 48 hours ahead.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Fittacamere Delaide, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor (top floor) facing the internal courtyard, away from Via Lamarmora. These rooms are quieter and get less street noise, and the lift goes all the way up so you won't need the stairs.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor facing Via Lamarmora. The street is busy with traffic and pedestrian noise, and you're at pavement level. Also avoid any room overlooking the lift shaft or stairwell – they're narrow and can echo from other guests.
Best views
Via Lamarmora rooms look onto a relatively ordinary city street with shops and apartments – no real view to speak of. Courtyard rooms get a quieter outlook over neighbouring buildings and small gardens. No sea or landmark views from this address.
Quietest floors
Third floor is the quietest – no one above you, and the lift stops there but doesn't have constant through-traffic. Second floor also decent, but top floor reduces overhead movement noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Via Lamarmora is a central but busy street in La Spezia – expect traffic noise (scooters, cars) especially 7am-10am and 5pm-8pm. The lift is a small passenger lift but can be noisy when doors open; internal walls and corridors are narrow (70cm) so sound travels. No bar or restaurant on-site, so no late-night venue noise.
Insider tips
For parking, use 'Parcheggio Santo Stefano' at Via Vittorio Veneto 4 (€18/day, 200m walk). Book a spot in advance via their app in summer – it fills up by 9am. For a quieter stay, ask for a courtyard-facing room on the top floor at check-in; the hotel doesn't assign rooms before arrival but will note your request.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →La Spezia Centrale station (bus stop 'Stazione FS') → Hotel Stella (stop 'Via Fiume/Cavour')
💡 Hardly necessary — it’s a 500m walk. But if you have heavy bags, single tickets (biglietto corsa singola) are sold at the tabacchi inside the station. Validate it in the machine onboard; the fine is €60.
Pisa Airport bus stop (outside arrivals) → La Spezia bus station
💡 Book online in advance (€8–12) for the cheapest fare. The bus drops you at Piazza Brin, a 10-min walk to the hotel — cut through the market hall if it’s open. Luggage goes in the hold, no weight limit issues.
Pisa Airport (platform at station ground level) → La Spezia Centrale (then 5-min walk to Hotel Stella)
💡 Buy the Pisa Mover ticket (€2.70, cash only at the airport machine) to reach Pisa Centrale, then a regional train to La Spezia. Avoid the Intercity — it costs triple and barely saves time. The hotel is a block from the station, turn left on Via Fiume.
Pisa International Airport (PSA) → Hotel Stella, La Spezia
💡 Book a shared transfer via ShuttleDirect or getDriver for around €50 per person. A standard taxi from the rank costs more, but always confirm the fixed price before you set off — drivers often add a surcharge after 10pm.

Top Attractions in La Spezia
💡 It's on a small lane off Via del Prione. Look for the bell tower poking above the drying laundry. Combo walk: visit here, then head up the steps to the castle.
💡 Take coffee at Bar Il Molo on the corner – they do a decent espresso for €1.20. Best light for photos is early morning before the cruise crowds appear.
💡 Take the ferry from La Spezia to Porto Venere (cheap, runs regularly) then walk back along the coastal trail. It's about 6km, decently marked, and saves you backtracking.
💡 Walk up via the Salita della Cittadella—steep but cuter than the road. Skip the museum if you're cash-strapped; the ramparts and view alone justify the ticket.
💡 Photography is partly restricted inside, but the outdoor collection of anchors and propellers is fair game. Go on a weekday morning to avoid school groups.
