The Blackberry Cottage is at the end of 700 meters private road which climbs the hill facing the La Spezia Gulf. There is public transport but it is not very frequent (1 bus each hour on average) and the stop is some 500 meters away. You have to climb quite a lot of stairs to get to the Blackberry Cottage. Parking is easy: you can park up to 4 cars just next to the entrance of the Blackberry Cottage.
Once you have competed the reservation we will send you the directions to reach the Blackberry Cottage.
There is 1 bedroom on the main floor with a queen size bed, 1 bedroom downstairs with 2 single beds one next to the other and 2 rooms upstairs with 1 bunk bed each (so 2 persons in each room). There is 1 bathroom with toilet, bathtub and shower and another toilet upstairs. There is a second shower in the garden which can be used during the nice season. The Blackberry Cottage is perfect for 2 couples with maximum 4 kids. We do not recommend it for 8 adults unless they are very good friends.
When you arrive, you will find a lockbox with the house key inside. As a result, the check-in and check-out are very flexible in order to accommodate your travel plans. Inside the house you will find a manual explaining the main features of the house.
The usual changeover day is Saturday, but it is possible to arrange arrival and departure in different days as well. You can normally check-in from 14:00 and you are supposed to leave at 9:00 on your last day.
Normally not. Only in low season we ask you to come with 200 euro in cash as deposit to pay the heating if you use it. There is a consumption meter and 1 cubic meter of gas costs 6 euro. So if you use 10 cubic meters the housekeeper will return you 200 - 60 = 140 euro at the end of your stay.
If you brake a glass or lose some cutlery there is no problem and no money will be detracted, just please inform the housekeeper at the end of your stay so that he can replace them.
There are plenty of very pleasant activities to do, from hiking to sailing, from sightseeing to swimming. There are several excellent restaurants and nice cultural events are regularly organised in the area. You will find some information on things to do in the cottage and I will send you some additional tips just before your arrival.
