Moreover, the company has a private car park, a garden with tables and chairs, equipped outdoor kitchen and a swimming pool.
Room cleaning service is offered once a week or after 3 days.
“Varavventura”’s position is really enviable.
This silent place is surrounded by the green hills of the region Liguria.
It is situated in the Vara Valley, and it is the perfect starting point for excursions towards the most beautiful villages of the East coast of the region Liguria (Tellaro, Fiascherino, Lerici, La Spezia, Portovenere etc.), as well as the famous “Cinque Terre” (Monterosso can be reached within ca. 30 minutes).
Our company is situated in the municipality of Riccò del Golfo, the first village of the Vara Valley, situated in a distance of 10 km from La Spezia’s centre, next to the antique state street Aurelia (SS. 1) which leads to Genoa.
We are situated in a distance of only 10 minutes from the town of La Spezia, from where ferry boats will bring you to Lerici, Portovenere and to the Cinque Terre.
Moreover, if you take the motorway from La Spezia, you will reach within 30 minutes the beaches and the discotheques of the Versilia, the medieval villages of the Lunigiana and the quarries of the white marble of Carrara.
How to arrive:
You have to leave the motorway A12 Livorno – Genoa at the tollgate of La Spezia. Take the SS. Aurelia and go towards Genoa. At km 425 you will reach Riccò del Golfo.

Go on for about 300 meters, and on your left, in the bend, you will see the Varaventura.

Hey from Marco

Hello, my name is Marco and together with my wife, we manage the Varavventura guesthouse.
We are nature lovers and whenever we have some free time, we enjoy outdoor sports and exploring the beautiful and suggestive places within our stunning valley, the Val di Vara. One of the most beautiful and ancient towns in the valley, Varese Ligure, was the first European town to be certified organic.
Both my wife and I love the sea and when the weather allows it (this even means in the middle of December around here!), we can quickly reach the beaches of Fiascherino and Tellaro, sheltered from the breeze, to bask in the sun while enjoying the view of the coastal pine trees that almost reach the sea.

The location in Riccò del Golfo is strategically important from a tourist and territorial point of view because it represents the right compromise between the sea and the countryside.
The geographical location of this accommodation allows those who come to stay in this guesthouse to quickly reach the most beautiful places on the Ligurian east coast (Tellaro, Fiascherino, Lerici, La Spezia, Portovenere etc.), including the famous "Cinque Terre" (reachable in about 25 minutes).

What guests say
Guests highlight the spacious, clean rooms, often with air conditioning, good value for money and private parking. Marco and Moira are praised for their warm, helpful welcome and recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. The location is convenient for exploring the Cinque Terre and the La Spezia area, though some guests note noise from the nearby main road.

We stayed for three nights and I must say it was an excellent experience. The room was very spacious, air-conditioned, with a private bathroom and excellent cleanliness. If you want to visit the Cinque Terre, it is in an excellent location to reach the various towns. It is located in a quiet and relaxing area, it has private parking and that is a big plus. The owner is kind and helpful; he recommended two small restaurants to us, both very good. Thank you very much for the hospitality.

Moira is a lovely person.
I highly recommend this place!
It’s a bit noisy as it’s next to the main road but the place is very clean and comfortable.
Moira recommended us some restaurants and we loved it!
Great location as it’s near La Spezia and easy access to Cinque Terre.

Stayed for 3 days we were welcomed very well by Marco who gave us a lot of very useful advice on where to eat and where to go and which roads to take! Very large, clean and super fresh rooms! Isolated from La Spezia but only 9 minutes away by car! Crazy value for money for the area and for the season, highly recommended!
