Glenda
La Spezia
When arriving in La Spezia, we were in shock at the condensed urban space able to live on the Italian coast. While we’d expected a decent residence for our brief two days in La Spezia, somewhere clean to set our things, we were met with our favorite place we stayed in the whole our Italian experience.
Met by Glenda, our delightful host, and her father, we were so pleasantly surprised with her fantastic English and welcoming personality. Moreso than any other vacation rental host we’ve experience, we were treated to luxury accommodations at her newly renovated, apartment, complete with a stocked fridge and spotless, tasteful decor.
With two balconies and two huge bedrooms, all complete with modern appliances and spacious storage, our family could not believe how beautiful the space was. We were given recommendations on where to go through business cards left by Glenda and were able to wash our clothes in the washing machine under the kitchen counter.
There were more than enough pillows and blankets and the energy in the apartment was unparalleled, decorated with Rolling Stones and David Bowie that will make you want to redecorate as soon as you return home.
Glenda could not have been more accommodating and we’d encourage any and all visitors to La Spezia or Cinque Terre to stay with her and enjoy a relaxing and lovely experience. We can’t thank her enough.
