Hotel Florida Lerici

This was the only hotel that had a room available at the time we arrived, we needed to stay the night and they had a room. The Hotel Florida is a typical, family-run Italian hotel/ business with a touch of tradition and friendly Italian welcome. We were given a room with a beautiful, large canopied balcony, equipped with two deckchairs, plus table and two chairs, overlooking the sea and the Portovenere. The beds were Italian style not as puffy as the American beds, but comfortable with clean sheets that felt extremely comforting especially after our long journey. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for something not over priced, yet comfortable, clean and welcoming.

Be extremely cautious of the sand on your feet when you return from the beach, the reception area is well tiled and the sand will cause an embarrassment of traipsing over the lovely tiled reception floor while shedding dry sand. Peter was not very lucky and we had a big laugh, Helen and I.
