The location is nice, seems family managed.. they have private parking which is very useful. They are located under 5 min away from a bus stop from where you can easily get to the train station, port or city center. They have a very nice garden where you can eat, read or relax. The location looks like a cozy traditional Italian home. It is very nice.

The internet didn't work properly, but this seems a general problem in Italy. The property is located around 2.5 km from the city center so if you decide to stay late in the city you will have to walk (the last bus is around 20.45). The area seemed pretty safe.

Locanda dal Moccia is a very pretty property with a lovely breakfast space. The room and bathroom were very clean. The staff was wonderful and the free breakfast was delicious. The on-site free parking was a huge plus, as long as you have a little car and are a good driver!

The distance to the train station (1.5 km or 1 mile) would not be bad if it were not for the summer heat. It would be nice to be closer to the town and port, but that's probably why the price was so reasonable. The bed was reasonably comfortable but the pillows were hard as bricks. I think they should invest in softer pillows.

Staying at this hostel felt like being in a charming, rustic village home in Italy, with its antique hotel ambiance and beautiful garden reminiscent of a cozy countryside residence. The hotel owner was hospitable and served his guests a distinctive Italian breakfast, making you feel like you were in an Italian countryside home.

I didn't like the room we stayed in at this hostel because the ceiling was slanted and there was only a small window, making it unsuitable for spending long periods of time. Thank God that we stayed in that room for only one night.😅

This is a magical place. The house itself is a fairytale, the old with the new combined in a perfect balance, preserving its spirit and authenticity. We headed to La Spezia in order to visit Cinque Terre, but besides the trip itself, we received this wonderful bonus, having the chance to spend a couple of days at Locanda dal Moccia which was an experience by itself. A great experience really, because we fell in love with the place. This is the magic of traveling, discovering places like this! Also, last, but definitely not least, Fabio, the host, is the most sweet and kind and helpful person, a perfect match for the place, they coexist and complete each other perfectly. Ps. Also, loved the garden. The only regret that we have is that we were here in february and I imagine that the garden must be at its best in april or may when all the plants are lush. Nevertheless, we did see some lemon trees in the garden that were so loaded with lemons that from some distance they looked painted!

Not the case, we absolutelly loved everything.

Not far from central station (less than 2 km), convenient for those who would like to take the train to Cinque Terre like us, free parking, with garden, clean, breakfast included, accommodating host (flexible to let us check in earlier than the normal check in time), responsive host.

Wifi not very well (we can only have access to the internet with 1 phone from our room), rooms are not sound proof (you can easily hear the water running in the bathroom, if someone pull the chair upstairs and people talking in the corridor, maybe because it’s

The Locanda dal Moccia is a down-to-earth, honest and decent proposition for a brief stay in La Spezia. Its greatest advantage is of course the parking. The rooms were perfectly clean and breakfast was simple but in adequate quantities. WiFi and airconditioning were fine as well.

It is a pity that even in the summer the beautiful garden is not used. Also the 400-year old building could have been an expensive boutique hotel if everything was not maintained at the simplest possible level, nearly spartan (for example our room did not even have a fridge).

Position of building. The age of building was fascinating as was the furniture all looked they had been there forever. Breakfast was good. Garden lovely to relax in of an evening. Staff friendly and willing to listen to limited Italian! Gave information regarding buses etc.

A few more hangers in the wardrobe would have been useful.

The owner stayed up to greet us and helped with parking, beautiful, traditional house and garden. Room was airy and good size, extra blankets and pillows available if required, housekeeping daily. Breakfast was lovely quality and flavoursome.

Unfortunately we had some questions about the local area but nobody to ask who was English speaking on both mornings of our stay.

Breakfast simple but enough. The staff is the best! They helped us with information, took care of our luggage (we arrived some hours before the check in hour) and let us use the fridge and kitchen facilities. Beds are comfortable, room is cozy, building is very charming, neighborhood is quiet. The place has a nice yard with trees, flowers, tables and chairs to rest. We had a very good experience and totally recommend Locanda dal Moccia!

It's a little bit more than 20 minutes walking from/to the train station of La Spezia.

Beautiful and charming room, tasty breakfast, beautiful grounds. Very comfortable stay!

Check-in could have been smoother. Hard to get a hold of host, had to wait at the property for at least half an hour and then the lady who came didn't speak proper Italian and no English. The host apologized when I met him and was very nice so maybe it was an unusual circumstance. Also was hoping it was closer to the train station. The walk was a bit rough with my heavy backpack.
