B&B "La Bottega d'Arte"

I spent a day and a night in Carrara, and La Bottega d’Arte was the perfect accommodation: clean, very comfortable, in the center of the city. The kitchen next to the room contained everything to make a coffee or eat a piece of chocolate! And Corrado, the owner, gives excellent pieces of advice.

It was a perfect setting for our stay in Carrara. Our host was extremely generous throughout our stay and a wealth of information about the history of the area and also ran an antique shop next door. Would definitely stay there again recommend it to anyone traveling to that area. Also, gave great restaurant recommendations!

The owner was extremely friendly, the building is extraordinary. Breakfast (not in the building but in a public place) was OK but nothing to scream about. But the owner's friendliness compensated for that

Beautiful room - we would definitely stay there again. Owner was very helpful and kind. Air conditioning was a plus. The only downfall is that it was a ways from the train station, so figuring out the bus schedule was imperative.

I spent a total of three nights here while exploring this part of Italy by bike. I had my reservations about booking at first, because I’m used to seeking accommodation in youth hostels, but if the money is not an issue I am convinced this place will give you bang for your buck and then some. Let me first talk about the room I stayed in itself. This was very comfortable; a large and comfy bed, comfy chairs, a bathtub, bathrobes, hairdryer, airconditioning, and television are all provided in the room itself. The remotes were wrapped in plastic to make it extra clean and corona-safe, which came on top of the already impressive cleanliness in the rest of the room. Additionally , I loved having a view of the surrounding mountains from my window. Other than the room itself, this B&B provides a kitchen/dining room you can use (with complementary fruits/snacks/bread/drinks), and a garage in case you cone by car or bike or motorcycle (or heck, even your skateboard could go there if you just ask for it). The location is wonderfully central in the old town of Carrara, not even a minute’s walk away from the beautiful Piazza Alberica one way, and an Esselunga supermarket the other. It’s not fat towards the surrounding mountains and marble quarries. I suppose for tourists who visit this region in the summer just for the beaches, options that are closer to the beaches are also available, but for people looking for a calm and beautiful private place to relax, this is a great option. Lastly I should give my compliments to the host, who has been friendly, hospitable, helpful, attentive, easy to reach and communicate with, and as a bonus quite good at speaking english. I will remember this place fondly, partially thanks to him.

This is an excellent B&B. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Property was beautiful, light, spacious and could not have been cleaner. Plenty of restaurants and things to do within walking distance. I highly recommend this establishment.

La Bottega d'Arte is a charming B&B on the edge of the old town of Carrara. Corrado, the host and owner of the antique store at street level makes you feel immediately at home, providing advice, historical anecdotes, guidance and the friendliest welcome in this very friendly country. The room was superbly decorated, with all modern amenities. The historic city center is right up the street and a frame to the most famous mountain quarries in the world.

Great B&B right in the center of Carrara. The host is very friendly, very attentive and always available for any support. Property is beautiful, very spacious, super clean and beautifully decorated by the attentive and expert eye of Mr. Lattanzi. Food and drinks available in the shared kitchen, which is a very nice touch in my opinion. We will for sure be back again soon! Grazie mille!

La calorosa accoglienza dell'oste, sempre pronto a consigliare escursioni e ottimi ristoranti, si unisce alla bellezza delle stanze arredate con gusto d'epoca. L'attenzione ai dettagli è evidente in ogni angolo, la colazione viene servita sulla scelta di tre bar/caffè locali. La cucina, ben fornita per spuntini o merende. É ideale per chi desidera esplorare Carrara o visitare le suggestive cave della zona.
