Welcome to La Gioia House — your cozy corner in the heart of La Spezia. This warm and thoughtfully designed apartment features one serene bedroom with a round bed (yes, really!) and two comfy sofa beds in the living room, making it ideal for couples, friends, or small families. Natural textures, soft lighting, and playful details create a space that’s both stylish and homey. Whether you’re here to explore Cinque Terre, wander the local markets, or just relax with a glass of wine and a book, La Gioia House is your base for it all. We’ve poured love into every corner — and we hope you feel it the moment you step inside. ✨ The apartment is on the 4th floor and there is no elevator, so please be prepared for a few stairs. 😊

Hi, I’m Gabriela — your host, your behind-the-scenes magic maker, and occasional furniture assembler with paint still on her hands. 😄 I’ve poured my heart (and a few Ikea screws) into La Gioia House to create a stay that feels as comfortable and welcoming as a friend’s home — with just the right amount of Italian charm. I work in creative advertising, love vintage markets, espresso, cozy corners, and spontaneous beach strolls. After years of visiting La Spezia, it felt only natural to create a little sanctuary here — and I’m thrilled to share it with you. I’m always happy to offer tips about the best local spots (or which gelato flavor is a must). Whether you're here to explore or unwind, I’ve got you covered. 💛

La Gioia House is tucked right in the heart of La Spezia — close enough to feel the city’s pulse, but cozy enough to be your peaceful corner. You're just a short walk from charming piazzas, local bakeries, wine bars, and some of the best trattorias in town. The port is only 10 minutes away, making it a perfect launch point for Cinque Terre, Portovenere, and other Ligurian gems. Trains, ferries, and buses are all close by — adventure is always an easy yes here. This area is lived-in and loved — by locals and travelers alike. Mornings smell like coffee, afternoons hum with conversation, and evenings often glow with golden-hour light and clinking glasses. 🍷✨ Whether you're here to explore, relax, or a little of both — welcome to your new favorite corner of Italy. 🌿
