Hotel il Nido  

On Lerici’s sunlit coast in the tiny hamlet of Tellaro, this beach hotel sits steps from the Gulf of La Spezia. Walk to the Centro Storico del Paese di Tellaro and Chiesa di Santa Maria Stella Maris, or hop a short drive to Lerici Castle and Porto di Lerici.

Coastal-chic and compact, the hotel offers 31 air-conditioned rooms with minibars, refrigerators and LCD TVs. Bathrooms feature rainfall showerheads and bidets. Expect simple, modern comforts and a relaxed seaside vibe with a rooftop terrace and garden for lingering sunsets.

Private beach access, a spa tub and sauna set the tone for chill days by the water. There’s a beach bar and a bar/lounge, plus a snack bar/deli and limited-hours room service. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 8:00–10:00. Other perks include a massage/solarium area, gift shop, babysitting (surcharge) and free self-parking.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout and a computer station keep you connected. Concierge and 24-hour front desk support, multilingual staff and onsite parking make brief work trips and family stays easy.

Start with the included buffet breakfast, then sip cocktails at the beach bar or unwind in the lounge. Fresh Ligurian seafood is a short walk away at local spots like Il Fico Trentacareghe and Ristorante Il Gambero Nero.
