Hotels in Province of La Spezia, Italy

The Province of La Spezia sits on the Ligurian coast of Italy, famous for the five colorful villages of Cinque Terre and the rugged cliffs of Portovenere. Its Mediterranean climate keeps winters mild (around 50°F/10°C) and summers warm (about 80°F/27°C), so you can hike the cliffside trail between Monterosso and Riomaggiore in spring when wildflowers bloom, or swim in the crystal-clear water at Monterosso beach in July. For a quieter visit, go in November-you'll dodge the crowds, score cheap B&Bs in La Spezia city, and still take a ferry to the quiet trails of Porto Venere.
