Where The Poet Hotel is, and why the location matters

The Poet Hotel is at Via Roma 139 in La Spezia, the naval port city at the eastern end of the Ligurian coast that most travelers use as a gateway to the Cinque Terre. Piazza Garibaldi is listed about a 2-minute walk away, roughly 200 m (220 yards), and Castello San Giorgio about a 6-minute walk, roughly 600 m (650 yards), as listed on booking platforms on October 20, 2026.

For a Cinque Terre trip, the key figure is the station: La Spezia Centrale is about a 6-minute walk, and the trains along the five villages leave from there. Listings also note you can walk to the marina for the Cinque Terre ferries, so on calm days you can go out by boat and come back by train, without moving hotels or driving the narrow coast roads.

Getting there

• From Pisa Airport (PSA): about a 55-minute drive, as listed.
• By train: La Spezia Centrale Station is about a 6-minute walk.
