Costello

HOSCARS 2020 — WE HAVE BEEN ELECTED THE BEST NEW small HOSTEL IN THE WORLD for 2020 and 2021!

Looking for a hostel with a unique atmosphere to explore Cinque Terre?
If you want a place where the staff remembers your name, where every stay feels personal, and where meeting other travellers comes naturally, the Costello is waiting for you.

Housed in a charming 1800s building in the heart of La Spezia, Costello is a design-led social hostel created for travelers who value comfort, atmosphere and meaningful connections.

Just a few minutes’ walk from the train station, it’s the perfect base to visit all five villages of Cinque Terre (and Portovenere) while enjoying a more relaxed and authentic local experience.

With only four rooms and space for up to 24 guests, Costello offers a small, intimate environment designed for a high-quality stay — not just a place to sleep, but a place to feel at home.

More than just a hostel, Costello is the perfect place to call home during your stay. Andrea, Gaia, Amanda and the rest of the team will be more than happy to welcome you!

Stay, Socialize, Experience — that's our motto.

STAY
At Costello, comfort comes first. You’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, clean and well-designed bathrooms, and thoughtful details that make your stay easy and enjoyable. Coffee, tea and drinking water are always available, and the terrace is the perfect place to relax after a day exploring Cinque Terre.

SOCIALIZE
Costello is designed to bring people together. The kitchen and terrace are the heart of the hostel, where guests naturally connect, share meals and create new friendships. Whether you're chatting over dinner or relaxing in a hammock with a book, the atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxed. Costello is also especially appreciated by female solo travelers looking for a safe, respectful and welcoming atmosphere, where it feels easy to meet people without the noise of a party hostel.

EXPERIENCE
We believe travel is about experiences and connections. We are two siblings, Andrea and Alessia, passionate about our region and always happy to share local tips. Whether it’s hiking, hidden spots or the best way to visit Cinque Terre, we’re here to help you make the most of your stay.

Costello is within walking distance from the train station, bus station and ferry terminal, making it easy to explore Cinque Terre and the surrounding area.

We are also just steps away from the city’s street market (Piazza del Mercato), as well as bars, bakeries, restaurants and a supermarket open until midnight.
