La Bottega d'Arte

Best price/quality ratio of any accommodation in the whole extended area of Cinque Terre/Versilia. Truly a gem, with meticulously curated interiors and very comfortable beds, and overall one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed at. The host cares about giving guests the best possible experience and you will definitely see and appreciate that. We will always come back here when we are again nearby.

We would rate the host higher than 10 if we had the opportunity. Fantastic place and an amazing host.

The room was a nice size with high ceilings and a comfortable bed. There was enough space to place our belongings. During the day, the sun comes in nicely. At night, the curtains make the room comfortable for sleeping. It was also quiet for sleeping and all the guests were respectful and cordial to one another. Corrado was very friendly and welcoming. He was also very responsive and easy to reach. He provided extra towels when we needed them. The common area with a kitchen and dining table had a nice view of the mountains/quarry, wonderful local treats, and beverages. Everyone at La Crema - where we enjoyed three breakfasts - were kind and generous. The coffee and pastries were delicious. We felt very welcomed in Carrara!

Little gem in the heart of old Carrara. The place is fabulous. Corrado, the owner, makes sure that your stay is unforgettable. We will be back soon and it will be our third booking here. Thank you very much Corrado, see you soon.

Very nice and very comfortable room, nicely decorated. There is also a kitchen where it is possible to have a coffee, a chocolate or more. Corrado's welcome is really warm. I definitely recommend this place.

I had a great stay at this B&B. Signor Lattanzi was very helpful and hospitable. The room was clean and well-decorated, and the view of the mountains was beautiful. The shared kitchen was also convenient.

I had a wonderful stay at La Bottega d'Arte. Corrado was an excellent host and very helpful. My room was very clean, great facilities and I will definitely be coming back to stay there again!

The accommodation is really charming. Furnished with a lot of love and it has everything you need. We had breakfast in a café with a voucher. That also worked perfectly. We also met Corrado in the city and he was very helpful with tips. We would love to return.

Well-organized property, very kind and helpful staff. I will definitely come back, thank you.

Pleasant experience in a charming and well-managed property. See you soon!

Everything is fine.

Starting with the host, who in my opinion is an extraordinary person. He kindly helped me to solve a problem, even giving me a lift by car to the station. The property is beautiful. The room where I slept is a true work of art (I imagine the other rooms are the same). The room was very clean. Breakfast was provided via a voucher to be used at nearby bars. The only downside I can point out is the lack of an elevator: for me, who was staying with my wife and two small children, it was really tiring to carry the suitcases, but you get used to it since the property is on the second floor. Overall, I give it an 8.

The only thing missing is an elevator and the B&B is located on the second floor. The host's welcome and availability are impeccable, including assistance in resolving organizational and travel arrangements.

The art shop is a well-kept, clean B&B in a central location. Breakfast can be enjoyed in various bars and/or pastry shops all very close to the property which, in any case, is equipped with a kettle for coffee, tea, and the kitchen is also served with fruit and cookies. Corrado is a kind and helpful host. Recommended!

We felt wonderful, and we will definitely return to Carrara. The rooms combine high-level comfort with the incomparable atmosphere of an imposing palace with beautiful historical artworks. The breakfast voucher solution is perfect for those who appreciate a certain flexibility and want to try 2 or 3 excellent pastry shops in the very nearby surroundings. However, the most remarkable thing was the host's welcome. His cordiality, generosity, and extensive knowledge of local art and history make the stay unforgettable.

Central location in a historic residence. Kind host.

It would be nice to enhance the possibility of having breakfast inside without having to go to the bar.

A nice, quiet, and bright room in a beautiful centrally located building. The parking in front is convenient, as is the use of the kitchen which makes you feel at home. The owner is very kind and helpful, with many valuable tips for excursions and restaurants. It would be nice to come back.

Great property, ideal location, host is available and welcoming!

A dive into the past, where the decor is art and taste. And time slows down. A smiling and very kind host. A very central location.

Great place in the center of Carrara, spacious and comfortable room furnished with taste and style, equipped with all comforts. Excellent cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen available for guests. Owner kind and willing to fulfill our requests as best as possible.

I had the pleasure of staying in this charming B&B, and I must say it was a truly special experience. The environment is well-kept and clean, and the owner was extremely kind and helpful, ready to meet our every need.

My stay at the B&B La Bottega dell'Arte was like a shining ellipse. It started from the precise point where I contacted the person who manages it, Mr. Corrado, who is a kind, friendly, curious man, witty and bold, an architect, a lover and connoisseur of art (on the ground floor of the beautiful palace is his antiquarian art gallery) with whom an affinity was immediately created. The subsequent points were to enter and immerse myself in this space that he has made unique: colors, details, artistic visions that make you feel the flavor of an ancient and graceful world and way. I stayed in the Elettra room, I liked it right away: I loved the shower, entirely in dark gray marble, the appliques with the mysterious blue glass heart on either side of the bed, the small wardrobe hidden in the corner of the wall, the beautiful painting on the dresser and the bronze sculpture of the woman with her hair up. I slept well, the double glazing isolates perfectly, the bed and pillows were very comfortable, the white sheets were fragrant. Everything is made even more enjoyable by the care that is evident in other "small" details: various electrical outlets on the sides of the bed, including a USB port, the television where, if you want, you can also watch beautiful movies on Sky... Furthermore, there are three bars where you can choose where to have breakfast: the most prominent bar in Piazza Alberica, a pastry shop with delicious products, another bar for those with food intolerances...: Mr. Corrado really thought of everything and everyone! Nothing is cold or anonymous: even the breakfast voucher is personalized and handwritten by him, on a beautiful postcard that is delivered along with the city map, the indications of places to see and places to eat, etc. The structure also includes a communal area where you can eat something, heat up a meal and prepare a coffee. The closing point of the ellipse was the sound of the imposing wrought iron gate and ancient colored glass that marked the end of my beautiful stay in Carrara at the Bottega dell'arte, which I will carry in my heart and in my memories. In a reality of accommodations where too often everything is an endless clone of something, where the care of the other is only a winking fiction or where dangerous minimalism is a neutral blanket that depersonalizes everything, finding this "Bottega", this "Emporium of beautiful things" was truly BEAUTIFUL. Thank you, Mr. Corrado, for spreading beauty that generates echoes for other beauty.

I stayed for only one night but it was very pleasant. Mr. Corrado is very helpful and kind. The room is charming and has all possible comforts. There is extreme cleanliness and attention to detail. There is a union between history and modernity. The solution of the "itinerant" breakfast is also very pleasant. Thank you.

After six months I am writing the review and I apologize to the kind Mr. Corrado. It is a nice B&B that I recommend to everyone who wants to visit Carrara, the marble quarries, and enjoy a good ice cream in Marina di Carrara. Breakfast could be enjoyed in one of the two nearby pastry bars or could be made independently in the B&B kitchen because there was milk in the fridge and on the table there were jam and packaged sweet things.

I booked this property for a family of friends with two children. They were thrilled with the room, but especially with the kindness, availability, and care that the owner has for his guests.

Highly recommended. I will definitely return. Exquisite host in an excellent location.

Short but pleasant vacation, brightened by the kindness of the owner and the welcoming of the room, equipped with air conditioning and satellite television, shared kitchen with abundant breakfast and well stocked with desserts and drinks.

The structure is in a beautiful historic building and the room is tastefully furnished. The owner is affable and kind. Only flaw the breakfast at the bar, limited in choice (you have to wait until 9.00 to have a savory piece).

We stayed one night at this property. The owner is a kind and helpful person for any request. La Bottega d'Arte was a pleasant experience, I recommend it.

Spectacular location, practically in the center with parking in front. A structure in a historic building that truly impressed me with its marbles and designs. Large room, impeccable bathroom/shower, clean and everything in order, an excellent courtesy set, of course, marble is not missing here either. I would like to thank the owner, Mr. Corrado, for his kindness and elegance in making your stay as simple as possible.

Excellent structure, central and convenient to services. Clean and welcoming. Mr. Corrado is friendly and kind. Available and attentive to every need.

We highly recommend trying a stay at La Bottega d'Arte.

Structure in the heart of Carrara, located in a historic building and managed by an owner always ready to provide directions and information on any activities to do. The room and the bathroom are very spacious and comfortable. Kitchen available to guests with various products. Breakfast at a pastry shop around the corner.

Excellent welcome and equal availability for venues in line with the cultural value of the places.

Very beautiful structure, very helpful and friendly owner. The maximum you could ask for.

A truly beautiful room, view of the Apuan Alps, furnished with refined taste. The owner is friendly and helpful, excellent service and breakfast. Great location with parking in front of the entrance. Highly recommended. Also excellent the trattoria recommended by the manager.

We can only say that we had a great time. Everything perfect, very well-kept.

Our experience at the B&B La Bottega d'Arte was extremely positive, even though we were guests for only one night. We were welcomed by the owner impeccably, who provided us with all the necessary information for our short stay. The Elisa Room, assigned to us: a blend of ancient tones and modern comforts, was a very pleasant surprise. Our stay in Carrara for the exhibition 'The Sea, Myth History Nature' at Palazzo Cucchiari was the opportunity to see marine masterpieces at the foot of the wonderful Apuan Alps. Worth mentioning, the excellent breakfast at Caffetteria Leon d'Oro where we were welcomed with great cordiality.

The owner was very helpful and kind, meeting our needs, especially for breakfast, as my husband has food allergies. The room was tastefully furnished, very beautiful and spacious with all the comforts. Excellent cleanliness.

Availability and professionalism of the owners, comfortable and welcoming structure, equipped with everything that may be needed, if not more. Excellent breakfast in one of the best pastry shops in the area. Highly recommended. We will be back.

I recommend to anyone who needs to stay in Carrara, fascinating location in the center. Efficient, kind and helpful host.

Beautiful room in neoclassical style, excellent welcome with comprehensive information and recommendations on restaurants in the city and surroundings. A must try!

THE ART OF WELCOMING. Saying perfect is an understatement. Nothing here is left to chance: the care in welcoming the guest in the museum-like rooms expertly, luxuriously, and finely furnished, the enjoyable breakfast, not only in the B&B's kitchen - and in addition to it - in one of the historic bars of the city, are just two of the many small and big attentions reserved by the very kind Corrado to those who stay overnight in this extraordinary Art Shop. Royal treatment. Also noteworthy is the central position and the peculiarity of the reception in the manager's atelier. Highly recommended!

Very nice and sweet room, on the second floor of a building in the center of Carrara where it is not always easy to park. It offers many comforts such as a large shower, air conditioning, TV with Sky programs and a small kitchen shared with the other 2 rooms. The voucher for breakfast at the bar is not as pleasant as breakfast made directly in the facilities that offer it, but given the small size of the bed and breakfast in question, you can't ask for more.

Very beautiful room, warm welcome, elegant environment, everything well organized. Breakfast at the pastry shop is very appreciated. Highly recommended.

Everything perfect.

A Bed and Breakfast of exceptional quality! Value for money really at its best.

Very ancient structure as it is located in the same building as an antique shop. Rooms of great charm, each more beautiful and elegant than the other. Snacks, drinks, and beverages always available in the shared kitchenette. Breakfast agreed upon in 2 bars, one of which is in the beautiful Piazza Alberica.

Clean rooms and furnished with impeccable taste, congratulations.

Very beautiful and well-kept room and very kind and helpful owner, ready to give directions and information about the area. The central location is very convenient for walking around the city. There is no private parking available but it is not a problem as there is a large parking lot a few steps from the property. The kitchen is very appreciated where you can prepare a coffee or a herbal tea or eat something. Excellent value for money, highly recommended.

Very warm welcome and full of useful information. Very beautiful and well-kept room and 'coccole' for the guests. Everything impeccable.

Well-maintained room in every detail. The owner is very kind and welcoming. Great location.

Wonderful structure, impressive, very clean and decorated in Carrara style. Corrado, a very kind person. Recommends.

Exceptional B&B, large and comfortable room, very clean, very close to the center and convenient with parking. I have already booked 4 stays at La Bottega d'Arte because it is unmatched for convenience and the friendliness of the owner.

Exquisite welcome, historic structure, tastefully restored, perfect for hospitality.

Good.

We stayed on the occasion of the BBday. The room was really beautiful. Mr. Corrado provided us with all the useful information to make the most of our stay. We recommend everyone to stop by La Bottega d'Arte.

As soon as we arrived, the host welcomed us in a space that resembles that of an antique shop, which I found fascinating and explored a bit with my eyes during the check-in procedure, in short, a great welcome! The room was completely renovated but maintained that charm of a historic building, with all the history it carries behind it, starting from the choice of the names of the rooms that the host explained to us had been decided to dedicate to women. The common area was equipped with all the amenities: cups, cutlery, minibar with water bottles at our disposal and various breakfast foods, kettle, coffee machine, and more. Noteworthy detail, the window of the common area with a view of the marble quarries and from which you can see the spire of the Carrara Cathedral. The central location of the property is definitely one of its strengths, and in front of the entrance there is a parking area. Another strong point is undoubtedly the host: restorer and architect (but not only), he introduced us to the history of this city dear to him and provided us with a very useful map in which all the main squares, monuments, places of the city and neighboring areas worth exploring were marked. He pointed out the two affiliated structures for breakfast: one is a bar located in the central square of Carrara (Piazza Alberica) and the other is a pastry shop a few steps from the property and which I would recommend for the vast choice of sweets and their quality. What else to say, if not that for a next stay in Carrara "La Bottega D'Arte" will be a must!

Visiting relatives, we stayed one night in the Elettra room of this bed and breakfast. The room, overlooking the Town Hall square, is perfectly soundproofed, carefully furnished and equipped with every comfort: a large and very comfortable bed, air conditioning, TV with Sky and a choice of pillows. The marble bathroom has a spacious shower, is equipped with a hairdryer and offers customers a courtesy kit that also includes a toothbrush and toothpaste. Included in the price in the common kitchen tea, coffee, chamomile, juices, water, herbal teas and more. In the entrance, customers have a library with books to read/exchange. Everything spotless. Breakfast is served in the affiliated pastry shop around the corner. Absolutely positive experience. Thanks to the very kind and helpful Architect Lattanzi who made us feel immediately at home.

Located in the center of Carrara. Unique structure, clean and nicely furnished with antique furniture. Kind and helpful manager. Good value for money. Normal breakfast at an affiliated bar nearby, but with the possibility of integrating it with what is available in the kitchen.

Enchanting place full of charm, everything is taken care of in detail to make guests feel comfortable as at home. The manager is really very friendly and available to explain stories and features of Carrara. Absolutely recommended!

Excellent to try.

After work, coming back to a place like La Bottega d'Arte, well-kept, clean, and above all hospitable is truly enjoyable.

Great value for money.\nPerfect hospitality.\nCharming structure.\nBreakfast and many things available at the B&B, as well as at the bar.\nHighly recommended!

The courtesy and personality of Corrado blend perfectly with a classy and elegant structure, curated in every detail to make the guest feel at ease, sure to find every comfort to enjoy a stay in the embrace of the Alpi Apuane in a unique and suggestive setting. Absolutely recommended for a stay in Carrara.

The place is cozy and attention to detail, you really feel at home. Mr. Corrado is a very kind and helpful person. Breakfast is served in a historic bar, I enjoyed an excellent cappuccino (perfect temperature) and ricotta puff pastry. I recommend this B&B, I hope to come back soon, maybe in spring.

Room equipped with all the comforts, very kind manager, good idea for breakfast at the nearby bar.

We stayed at La Bottega d'Arte and had a great time. Highly recommended. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the owners for the hospitality and kindness. We hope to come back soon. Monica and family.

Stayed for one night at this lovingly renovated and tastefully decorated property. Timeless atmosphere with a touch of modernity! Warm and professional welcome from the manager. Recommended for those who appreciate sophistication.

The bed and breakfast La Bottega d'Arte is a gem of great value in the precious casket of Mr. Lattanzi, the contact person of the structure and owner of the underlying antique shop, from which the bed and breakfast takes its name. What immediately captivates is the refined environment in which you are received and the friendliness of the manager who, as a perfect host, makes his home available for any need, making it a home even for those who stay there for a short time. A fine connoisseur of the territory, and personally active in enhancing its tourist vocation, Mr. Lattanzi offers generous information on the most interesting destinations in the area, thus embodying the 'genius loci'. The air you breathe in this bed and breakfast is permeated by a vast cultural background that transpires from every finishing touch, but it is also permeated by an evident concern for the well-being of its guests. These qualities make La Bottega d'Arte the ideal place to spend your stay just a few steps from the heart of Carrara. Marella and Mimmo - Magenta (Milan).

Three elegant, comfortable, and detailed rooms. I always come back with pleasure.

I recommend everyone to stay here. The care and courtesy are tangible.

We chose this Bed and Breakfast after reading the excellent reviews, and I must say that we also had a great time. We stayed for a few days in August to visit this beautiful area between Tuscany and Liguria. In addition, Mr. Lattanzi is a very kind, friendly, and helpful person. The rooms are very beautiful, equipped with every comfort, and tastefully furnished. I highly recommend it to those who need to go to this area.

Cozy environment and centrally located but parking can be a bit of a problem due to fees. Excellent hospitality from the manager and pleasant and rich breakfast.

We stayed at La Bottega d'Arte for the second consecutive year and as always our stay was more than pleasant. We will continue to go back.

La Bottega d'Arte is not a bed and breakfast! It is a cultural experience in an elegant, tailor-made context, done with grace.

The kindness of the owner. Clean and well-kept rooms. In the center of Carrara. Anything else?! Highly recommended.
