Overall: Overall very good. Everything as described. Enjoyed Most: The view and the very nice furnishings. Enjoyed Least: Air conditioning did not reach master bedroom so we had to sleep in the second bedroom which had twin beds. The A/C did reach this bedroom so we were able to sleep comfortably. It was extremely hot during our stay so this was understandable. Editor's Note: There is one AC unit that is usually sufficient to cook the whole apartment. Surrounding Area: Beautiful local people. Relatively inexpensive compared to the rest of Italy. Wonderful swimming in the beautiful sea every day. Directions: The taxi was expensive. Editor's Note: The taxi from La Spezia train station is about 30 Euros.
