Hotels in Province of La Spezia, Italy

Province of La Spezia is a coastal region in northwest Italy, with a mild Mediterranean climate-winters rarely drop below 50°F (10°C), and summers hover around 80°F (27°C). It's famous for the colorful fishing villages of Cinque Terre and the rugged cliffs of the Gulf of Poets, where you can hike the Sentiero Azzurro trail between Monterosso and Riomaggiore. In spring and fall, the trails are less crowded and perfect for panoramic views from Volastra; in summer, you can swim at Guvano Beach or take a boat tour to the islands of Palmaria and Tino. During winter, explore the medieval Castello di Lerici or taste local pesto in Portovenere's 12th-century church.
