Rooms and configurations
Seven room types cover double, twin, and triple sleeping arrangements across 15 to 18 square metres. The balcony options add outdoor space, while the inner courtyard-view rooms are quieter-facing. All rooms have air conditioning and a flat-screen TV.
Accessible room with roll-in shower
One room is purpose-built for guests with disabilities, fitted with a roll-in shower and queen bed or twin beds. At 15 square metres, it includes an attached bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi.
Inner courtyard-facing options
Two room types look onto the inner courtyard rather than the street. Both the Double Room with Private External Bathroom and the accessible King Room share this orientation, giving a calmer outlook than the front-facing balcony rooms.
Pet-friendly across the property
The Nautilus accepts pets throughout, not just in designated rooms. This is one of its more practical differentiators for travellers exploring the Ligurian coast with animals in tow.

Arriving in La Spezia
Nautilus Hotel is 65.3 km from Pisa Airport (PSA), where the PisaMover shuttle connects to Pisa Centrale. La Spezia Centrale station is about 1.4 km away, roughly a 20-minute walk.
