La Sosta is a six-room retreat where countryside calm meets the Ligurian coast. Set in a restored 16th-century building, it offers travellers a quiet base to pause, reset, and reconnect with the landscape. Tucked away off the beaten path and hard to find, it’s a place designed for unrushed days, good food, and the simple pleasure of slowing down.
Housed in a 16th-century National Trust historic building that became a hotel in 2005, La Sosta combines rustic heritage with thoughtful hospitality. Its limited capacity ensures privacy and attentive, personalised service. Guests are assisted every step of the way, from planning hikes to arranging dinners. Local materials and artwork enhance the sense of place, grounding each stay in authentic detail.
Set in a rural landscape by the sea, La Sosta lies roughly 5 km by car — or a scenic three-hour hike — from the Cinque Terre town of Monterosso. Remote yet reachable, it offers the calm of countryside living with access to coastal paths, sea views, and the rugged paths that define the region. It is ideal for travellers wanting to get away from it all while still within reach of Cinque Terre’s charm.
The six rooms at La Sosta reflect its surroundings — many with sea views, furnished with local materials, region-inspired décor, and artwork from nearby artisans. The atmosphere is simple and soothing, designed to offer comfort and connection to the landscape rather than luxury frills. Each room is a peaceful base for waking with sea air, sleeping with silence, and resting between coastal explorations.
This retreat is home to a Michelin-recommended restaurant that serves traditional local cuisine built around fresh, region-sourced ingredients. Open to both guests and the public, the restaurant emphasises local food producers and carefully selected wines, with a sommelier on hand to help choose pairings. Whether after a long hike or a quiet afternoon by the sea, the dining here brings a genuine taste of the region and a warm, welcoming ambience.
La Sosta is for those who value quiet, authenticity, and a close connection to place. With just six rooms in a restored historic building, sea-view surroundings, a Michelin-recommended restaurant, and warm, personalised hospitality, it offers a rare balance of rural calm and coastal access. It’s a simple refuge, a thoughtful escape — and for many, a hard place to leave.
