Ostello Tramonti

If you think about the Dead Runners Society World Conference in Italy as your lifetime occasion to visit and spend some time in the famous romantic Cinque Terre, then we've got the hostel for you. The Hostel Tramonti offers a special deal for organized groups and it is located right in the Cinque Terre national park.

On the Northwestern hills of La Spezia, aside the breathtaking coast of the Cinque Terre (the Five Lands), the Hostel Tramonti is situated in the ancient hamlet of Biassa. The remains of the San Martino Vecchio church, dating back to the XII Century and of the castle of Coderone, built in 1273, are in the vicinity of the village, as well as the Menhir of Tramonti of the VI century aD and the Posatoio, places of worship. On the coast of Schiara you can find the Fountain of Nozzano, built by the army of Napoleon. Located in the Comune of La Spezia, Tramonti is within the National Park of the Cinque Terre. Its terraced hills and the small towns of Schiara, Monesteroli and Fossola were built through the centuries by the inhabitants of Biassa itself, since their lives depended on the cultivation of vineyards as well as the working of sandstone. The fortifications which once stood as a defense to the Gulf are now a tourist attraction: Bramapane Fort as well as the Parodi and the Macè one in the area of Foce. The village is situated on the green hills surrounding the gulf and it is the main doorway to the Cinque Terre and to the several pathways crossing the hillside.
