This B & B is nicely located just 10 mins drive from the centre of La Spezia - we stayed five nights, using it as our base to visit the Cinque Terre, Piza, Florence and Luca. We stayed in the upstairs room which has its own private entrance via easy exterior stairs - room immaculate and spotlessly clean with a... More

A short distance away from city center, but well worth it. The accommodation offers peace and tranquility and we found it spacious, clean and very comfortable. We had the 2nd floor accommodation with bedroom, bathroom and deck overlooking the yard. Francesco is easy going and there to help, if you should run into any problems or difficulties. He even took... More

We really loved our stay at Not too Bad. Francesco was an awesome host and the place was a good respite from the busy city of La Spezia. It was also a great get away point to Cinque Terre. This B&B is out of town a bit which made it much more peaceful. The community which was a very short... More

Francesco, the owner of this B&B, was incredibly hospitable, friendly, helpful, gentle and kind. He gave us pamphlets and information to help us plan our visit to Cinq Terre. He generously offered to give us some of his delicious plums from one of his trees and he was always ready with a smile. It was a great country stay, away... More

The Not Too Bad B&B is a nice comfortable and cozy place to stay about 8-10mins from the train station in La Spezia, Italy. After too many issues to count and 23 hrs of travel, we arrived around 9:30pm in La Spezia. Francesco was awaiting us at the train station in the rain and drove us back to the B&B... More

I loved 'Not Too Bad' - it needs a name change, to something like 'The Best' ! It's located a short drive or bus journey from La Spezia in a small quiet village. Mty room was above the owners living quarters, and Francisco was always on hand if you needed him. He was very welcoming and made sure I had... More
