About Oasi Eco Boutique Hotel
It all started with a dream.
Oasi Eco Boutique Hotel was born from the dream of my parents, Lella and Claudio: to create a small hotel in Levanto where guests could feel genuinely welcome, close to the sea, close to the Cinque Terre and close to the slower, more human side of travel.
After a long and not always easy design and construction process, we opened our doors on 12 July 2008. Since then, the Oasi has grown season after season, through work, care, sacrifices, mistakes, improvements and many small satisfactions that, put together, have shaped the hotel you find today.
Not everything has always been exactly as we imagined it at the beginning. Perhaps that is normal. A dream changes with time, with experience, with the people who help bring it to life and with the guests who pass through its rooms. What has remained the same is the desire to welcome people with honesty, warmth and attention, creating a place where everyone can relax, feel comfortable and enjoy Levanto in their own way.
A small hotel with a personal soul
The Oasi has never been just a place to sleep.
It is a small family-run hotel where we try to take care of the details that make a stay easier, softer and more pleasant: a calm welcome, a good breakfast, practical advice, a quiet garden, help with trains and trails, a private parking space for those arriving by car, and a friendly word when it is needed.
We are not a large hotel, and we do not want to be one. Our size allows us to know our guests a little better, to give personal suggestions and to create the relaxed atmosphere that many people remember after leaving.
Some guests come to visit the Cinque Terre, some to walk, some to rest by the sea, some to travel alone, some to spend time with a person they love. We like the idea that each stay can be different, and that everyone can simply be themselves while they are here.
Open all year round
Oasi Eco Boutique Hotel is open 365 days a year.
We love the idea that Levanto can be enjoyed in every season: in spring, when the trails and gardens come back to life; in summer, when the sea becomes part of every day; in autumn, when the light is softer, and the villages are quieter; and in winter, when the coast reveals its most peaceful side.
To make this possible, from 1 November to the end of March, we run the hotel in a lighter, more flexible way. This allows us to stay open year-round and offer rates more suitable for the low season.
During this period, reception is staffed in person in the morning, but we are always available if you need us. Breakfast depends on the rate you choose, and daily room cleaning is available upon request for an extra charge.
It is a simpler way of staying, but not a colder one. We are still here, still close by, still ready to help with practical advice, local tips and anything you may need to enjoy Levanto at a slower pace.
Rooted in Levanto, open to the world
The Oasi is deeply connected to Levanto and to this part of Liguria.
We know the paths, the trains, the beaches, the restaurants, the busy days, the quiet corners and the small practical things that can make a holiday smoother. We know when it is better to visit the Cinque Terre by train, when to choose the boat, where to go for a walk at sunset and when it may be worth staying in Levanto and doing less.
At the same time, the Oasi has always had an international spirit. We welcome guests from all over the world, and our team reflects that openness. Our roots and stories come from Levanto, Sesta Godano and Vernazza, but also from Santo Domingo, Argentina, Lithuania and other places that have become part of our way of welcoming people.
This mix of local knowledge and international sensitivity helps us understand different ways of travelling, different expectations and different rhythms.
Our team
Our team is proudly all-female, local and international at the same time.
Each of us brings something different to the Oasi: languages, stories, character, humour, patience, precision, warmth, practical sense and a real love for this area. Together, we speak Italian, English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Lithuanian, but hospitality is not only a matter of language.
It is also about listening, noticing details, helping when something does not go as planned, suggesting the right restaurant, explaining the best train connection, preparing breakfast with care or simply sharing a smile at the right moment.
We are here to help you feel at ease, whether you are travelling as a couple, with friends, with family, with your pet or on your own.
A more conscious way to travel
Over the years, the Oasi has also become a more conscious hotel.
Today we are an eco boutique hotel and a carbon-neutral hotel, but we try to live sustainability in a practical, everyday way. For us, it means choosing organic products when possible, reducing waste, paying attention to energy use, limiting plastic, supporting local producers and encouraging slower, more respectful ways to discover Levanto and the Cinque Terre.
We know that sustainability is never a finished result. It is a direction, a daily practice and sometimes a compromise. What matters to us is to keep improving, season after season, without turning care for the environment into a slogan.
A place where everyone is welcome
Hospitality, for us, also means creating a space where people can feel free to be themselves.
The Oasi welcomes couples, solo travellers, families, friends, LGBTQ+ guests, guests travelling with pets, people looking for an active holiday and people who simply need rest. There is no single right way to stay with us.
You can wake up early for a long hike, take the train to the Cinque Terre, spend the day at the beach, read in the garden, enjoy a slow breakfast, try one of our experiences or do very little. We will be happy either way.
Our wish is simple: that you feel comfortable, respected and cared for during your time in Levanto.
More than a hotel near the Cinque Terre
Many guests choose us because the Oasi is a convenient base for visiting the Cinque Terre. The train station is within walking distance, the beach and the centre of Levanto are close, and those arriving by car can use our private parking.
But we hope you will also remember something more personal: the quiet return after a busy day, the garden, breakfast in the morning, a conversation at reception, a useful tip, a small detail in your room, the feeling of being in a place that has grown with care.
That is what we continue to work for, every season.
