Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers bright and spacious rooms that are a real delight, especially with the sunny terrace overlooking the bay at breakfast. The location is prime, allowing convenient access to various attractions. The dining experience is top-notch with delicious offerings. Overall, a wonderful stay with excellent facilities.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were not as quiet as expected, the view of the Mediterranean and the hotel grounds was superb. The location was great being close to the beach and town center. The service was polite and attentive, but some aspects were lacking. The dining was exceptional with a sea view terrace, but there were some limitations. Focused on particular transportation options, the staff was helpful overall. The facilities were pleasant, contributing to a generally enjoyable stay.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The rooms were very large and fantastic, with a lovely bathroom and a balcony overlooking immaculate rear gardens. The service was top-notch, with polite and professional staff who were always pleasant and helpful, even arranging a beautiful bouquet for my wife upon arrival. The location was perfect for exploring the town and nearby attractions like Cinque Terre, Genova, and Portofino. The dining experience was excellent, offering a variety of delicious options in a lovely setting. The facilities were great, making my stay even more enjoyable.
Staying at this hotel felt like home with beautifully serviced rooms overlooking the waterfront. The comfort and cleanliness were top-notch, making waking up to the pool and sea views pure joy, although some language barriers were encountered in communication. However, the location, while not central, offered enjoyable surroundings, but with steep footpaths and proximity to less desirable areas.
