Oasi Eco Boutique Hotel: CO2-neutral accommodations in Levanto, on the outskirts of the Cinque Terre

From the Levanto train station, it’s a five-minute walk to the garden of the Oasi Eco Boutique Hotel. This is no coincidence: almost all guests here leave their cars behind and take the train to the Cinque Terre the next morning, which departs from a station within walking distance.

Oasi is a small, carbon-neutral hotel with fourteen rooms, run by a team that gets to know guests by name and knows the area inside and out.

The hotel is located in Levanto, the last stop on the Cinque Terre Express before the line heads into the five famous villages. If you’re looking for a quiet base with a beach, plenty of space, and private parking—without the crowds of Monterosso or Vernazza—you’ll find it in Levanto. Be sure to read our article about the Cinque Terre by train from Levanto for complete travel times and ticket information.

Sustainability as a daily practice, not just a label

Oasi Eco Boutique Hotel is a member of Sustainable Travel International: the hotel’s CO2 emissions have been measured and offset with certified carbon offsets, while the team continues to work on reducing emissions on its own. The hotel is also in the process of obtaining Green Globe certification.

Specifically, you can see this in a number of choices:

• Hotels for Trees: From April through October, guests can opt out of daily housekeeping. For every cleaning service skipped, the program plants a tree.
• Solid, organic soap sold without packaging, handmade by Officina Cosmetica Antichi Ricordi in Italy, paired with refillable shampoo, conditioner, and body wash from the Spicy Thyme brand.
• Amphiro’s digital showerheads, which display water and energy consumption while you shower.
• 100 percent green electricity and charging stations for electric cars on the premises.
• Filtered water and reusable stainless steel bottles instead of disposable plastic.
• Support for local initiatives, including Scarpetta Rossa (against violence against women) and GiSAL (local care for people with disabilities).

The rooms: fourteen, each with its own unique character

The hotel has fourteen uniquely decorated rooms spread over two floors: ground-floor rooms with direct access to the garden and first-floor rooms, some with balconies.

• Garden Room: located on the ground floor , with direct access to the hotel garden. Suitable for guests with pets or those who prefer not to climb stairs.
• Balcony Room: located on the first floor, with its own outdoor space. Perfect if you want to have breakfast outside in the morning or sit outside for a bit before dinner in the evening.
• Standard Room: the most affordable option, offering the same service and atmosphere as the rest of the hotel.
• Double garden room: ground floor , with two separate beds and access to the garden. Suitable for friends or family members sharing a room.

All rooms feature a private bathroom, Wi-Fi, a safe, a minibar, a smart TV, and air conditioning and heating in accordance with Italian regulations. The mattresses are custom-made by a local craftsman; a mattress topper is available upon request.

Breakfast: Start the day off slowly with local products

During peak season, breakfast is served from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on the terrace, in the garden, or indoors by the fireplace. Bread, focaccia, and pastries are fresh daily from the local bakery or our own kitchen; dairy products come from the Organic Valley cooperative in Val di Vara; and fresh fruits and vegetables are supplied by the local greengrocer. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, and French toast are prepared to order.

From November 1 through the end of March, the hotel offers a lighter winter menu: breakfast during this period depends on the rate selected.

Garden, bar, and two local experiences

The garden is the quietest spot in the hotel: a place to read, relax after a walk, or simply wait until your room is ready. At the bar, the staff serves coffee, aperitifs, and homemade cocktails.

The hotel offers two regular experiences for those who want to explore beyond their breakfast plate:

• Pesto Workshop: Make your own Genovese pesto using a mortar and pestle, followed by a relaxing aperitif.
• Walking Tour of Levanto with Wine Tasting: a guided walk through the alleys and squares of Levanto, concluding with a wine tasting at the vineyard.

Practical Information: Pets, Families, and Parking

Pets are welcome for an additional fee; rooms with garden access are best suited for this. Families can request a free crib for children up to 2 years old. The hotel has its own parking garage with an elevator connecting to the rooms and charging stations for electric cars—convenient if you arrive by car and then leave it there to explore the Cinque Terre by train.

Open year-round

Oasi Eco Boutique Hotel is open 365 days a year. From April through October, the hotel operates at full capacity, with daily housekeeping included. From November 1 through the end of March, the hotel operates under a more streamlined winter schedule: the front desk is staffed in the mornings, breakfast is included depending on the rate, and daily housekeeping is available upon request for an additional fee.
