I absolutely enjoyed my 3 nights stay at Locanda del Papa. Located at La Foce, it was serene, quiet surroundings away (but yet not too far) from the bustle of the Cinque Terre crowd. Best if you have a car because of its location, I personally took the train. David and Roberta were amazing hosts, they picked me up/dropped me to/from the train station, and was kind enough to give me lifts into La Spezia in the mornings (this is of course depending on their availability). Coming back, there is a bus stop close by. There are 3 local restaurants within walking distance from the Locanda.
What made my stay most enjoyable (other than the location) was the attentiveness and warm hospitality extended to me by David and Roberta. David provided up-to-date directions/timetable to nearby attractions Cinque Terre and Portavenere. Every day, a wonderful breakfast is served including fresh coffee tasty croissants, Italian breads and Roberta's home-made jams. Farm fresh eggs can be requested along with ham & cheese... I truly felt like pampered each morning. Another thing, the internet/Wi-Fi connection was the best I got in Italy after having been travelling extensively.
When I'm back in this area in Italy, I will definitely stay at Locanda del Papa. It is my home away from home. Grazie, David and Roberta for the memories!
