La Sosta di Ottone III is a charming 2-star boutique hotel, converted from an ancient medieval inn (12th century) in the hamlet of Chiesanuova, on the hills of Levanto. It enjoys a unique Panoramic Position, overlooking the valley, olive groves, and the Ligurian Sea, serving as a tranquil base for exploring the nearby Cinque Terre. The property is renowned for its authentic atmosphere and attention to detail. It is Seasonally Open (typically from April to October).
The hotel offers an intimate experience with only 6 or 7 rooms and suites, each furnished in a style blending rustic Ligurian elegance with contemporary elements, using local materials like slate and Carrara Marble for the private bathrooms. Types vary (e.g., La Sosta, La Dolce Vita, Unesco Heritage), some with space for families. All rooms include Air Conditioning, mini fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, and Free Wi-Fi. Some offer a splendid Sea View.
The La Sosta Restaurant, located in the restored ancient cellar, is also open to external guests (reservations recommended) and offers Local and Traditional Cuisine with daily changing menus that emphasize Zero-Kilometer products. Breakfast is served à la carte or in an artisanal format. The hotel's sommelier curates a refined wine list, mainly Ligurian and natural, and is available for Wine and Olive Oil Tastings (AIRO).
Guests can enjoy the tranquility of the Garden or relax on the panoramic Terrace, perfect for admiring the sunset over the sea.
