Everywhere was clean and tidy with staff working hard to maintain this. Our room was a good size , as was the bathroom and we has a beautiful view. Plenty of choice at breakfast; the women who manage breakfast are amazing and very well organised all with a smile on their faces. The pool area is tranquil and calm - plenty of beds available when we stayed. Thank you for a lovely stay

We were delighted by our stay at this hotel. The photos didn't really do it justice. The room (a junior suite) was generous and well maintained. While it isn't a modern hotel, it is very well looked after, and walking through the historic lobby and around the grounds is a joy. We thoroughly enjoyed eating breakfast in the immaculate and shaded garden - a wonderful way to start the day. The pool was also well maintained and not at all crowded. Location is excellent, with many restaurants and amenities nearby. Staff were excellent throughout - helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

This is a great location if you are looking to explore Cinque Terre and Portofino as they are easily accessible for day trips. Also very easy to walk around Sestri Levante. We stayed in a junior suite with our 2 children. The suite was spacious and clean upon arrival and we received a daily refresh with clean towels. A pre-stocked minifridge still had space for us to stick a few items of our own in it. We opted for the daily breakfast package which I highly recommend as there were many good choices and a premium coffee maker. The kids enjoyed all the pastries and breads. As a gluten sensitive person I was impressed that they had some prepacked gluten free options at breakfast and supplemented with fruit, eggs, and breakfast meats. The pool was a nice perk and made for a relaxing late afternoon treat for the kids. We did not use the beach across the roadway but it did look nice. We ended up using another beach on the other side of Sestri Levante and rented chairs there; it was a quiet bay with paddle board rentals. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and the bar was well stocked. It's probably more like a 4.75 but I didn't want to discount the place or the staff with a 4. It's a very old but elegant building so there are some areas that look tired but it was extremely clean. I wish I had gotten more photos to post but I was enjoying it so much that I forgot.

Beautiful Italian hotel with a great pool and clean rooms. Due to the building being older it can get slightly noisy in the morning past 7.30 am but otherwise great and we’re very happy with our stay.
