Sestri Levante hotellia

Plussat: Small,elegant, stylish clean comfortable and excellent service.

Miinukset: Nothing returning home relaxed and very satisfied

Plussat: Lovely hotel, well appointed on a large comfortable block. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great with so much fresh produce.

Plussat: We have filled out the local written survey.

Plussat: Very pretty place

Miinukset: No evening meal but we knew that and it is reflected in the price

Plussat: Very good Hotel, room, garden, breakfast and service.

Miinukset: A bit far from the center. One cannot go walking.

Plussat: Villa Agnese is a wonderful place to stay. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast is superb and the rooms very comfy and beautifully kept. Very convenient for access to autostrada but very quiet and peaceful location.

Plussat: Lovely little boutique hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great pool and courtyard area. Comfy beds and spacious room and bathroom. Good selection at breakfast and a well stocked bar.

Miinukset: The hotel doesn’t do food in the evenings, it’s quite a walk into town for a full choice of restaurants but there is a lovely little pizzeria round the corner.

Plussat: Unforgettable stay in Villa Agnese. Very friendly and helpful staff. The Hotel has a beautiful pool and garden. To be honest, I don’t know why they only have 3 Stars. Definitely it will not be a goodbye, it will be a see you later!

Plussat: A marvellous period piece. Charming and helpful staff, impeccable standards, couldn't have liked it more.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Amazing old castle with beautiful view. Cosy gardens around. Nice room, but a little bit small. The atmosphere is from fairytale. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: A little bit tricky to find the proper road to the hotel. The restaurant looks a bit outdated and requires renovation.

Plussat: Lovely room and bathroom. Jacuzzi bath. Excellent lift to street level.

Miinukset: Breakfast basic - an omelette was extra A joke considering the price!

Plussat: Extraordinary spot and architecture

Plussat: Size of room the view over the ocean Extra big and well equipped bathroom

Miinukset: Info about money change was incorrect

Plussat: The view from the hotel whilst eating your delicious breakfast is amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful, and the pool area is lovely. The rooms are well air conditioned, really comfortable and clean, as are the nice modern bathrooms. The hotel is in a great location, high up a mountain amongst the trees, so quiet. Ideal for walking and yet only 5 mins or so by car to the sea, and the town.

Plussat: The view from atop the hill, overlooking Sestri Levante and all the way to Portofino across the bay is priceless. The staff couldn’t be more pleasant (and spoke English). Pool jacuzzi and oh yes, the view.

Miinukset: A bit if a drive up the hill. Worth every km.

Plussat: The views were beautiful and the staff lovely. The pool was like being in a resort.

Miinukset: The pillows were like a pancake and the blankets looked like they were from the 60s. The bedding really needs an update.

Plussat: If you want a view from your room of the bay in the distance 2 nd floor facing front are lovely. Small balcony too. Nothing was too much trouble and staff so helpful with advising us where to park in the town and what to visit. Breakfast was excellent and hosts were very attentive. Spotlessly clean too. Swimming pool area and jacuzzi down steps but well positioned for sunbathing. Another side Area in the shade with fountain running ideal for those not wanting sun. Whole stay was delightful.

Miinukset: A better evening menu as the journey into Sestri was only possible by car. Eating at the hotel would be ideal.

Plussat: A very friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast buffet . Convenient location. Clean facilities. Offered us free room upgrade Keep up the good work. Thank you, Zack Azzari

Plussat: Great town,great hotel. Perfect location.The hotel was very close to the beach and to the train station The hotel was very nice with very good breakfast. The owners were very warm and helpful . Always ready to give good advice about the area . We had a great time there and we'll be back!!

Plussat: The staff is very friendly and so nice it felt like home! The property is very clean, the room is very cozy and comfortable! The terrace has a nice beach view. And no words for the breakfast...amazing. *the location is good, close to the station, supermarket and restaurants* Would stay there again and again ♥️

Plussat: Erittäin ystävälliset omistajat, asiointi sujui englanniksi. Huoneen siisteys moitteetton, toimiva ilmastointi ja reilun kokoinen WC. Monipuolinen valikoima, mm. hedelmiä ja kakkuja, ja erinomainen cappuccino aamupalalla. Pieni mutta hyvin kalustettu kattoterassi jossa oli aina tilaa. Maksullinen pysäköinti onnistui muutaman sadan metrin päässä rautatieaseman uudehkossa parkkihallissa, jota varten sai hotellilta hyvät ohjeet ja henkilökohtaisen opastuksen.

Miinukset: Patja jo hiukan aikansa elänyt. Liikenteen ääntä kuului hiukan, mutta tähän voi vaikuttaa valitsemalla huoneen toiselta puolelta hotellia. Äänieristys käytävän äänien osalta heikko, mutta onneksi siellä ei kukaan melunnut.

Plussat: Beautifully clean & fresh, great breakfast buffet! Enjoyed the lounge on the top floor and also visited the roof top terrace a couple of times

Miinukset: Older members if staff a little "cool" despite my husband speaking good Italian. End if season weariness???

Plussat: Very convenient location, between the city, railway station and beach.

Miinukset: Street noise.

Plussat: The staff was great and the breakfast in the morning was amazing. A short walk to the beach and beautiful views. Amazing restaurants nearby and great view of the ocean from the rooftop.

Plussat: My wife and I didn't really know what to expect when we booked a stopover in Sestri Levante, but we very much regret not staying longer. Inclement weather and the long drive from Como led us make a decision to stay in for the night, and it turned out to be an extraordinarily memorable one. Indeed for most of the evening we felt as if we had gone back to the 1920s or 1930s but with all the modern amenities. After sipping martinis in the piano lounge and listening to some great old-time lounge-jazz we had a truly great meal. The fish and vegetarian options suited us well, while the impressive service from our waiter - who also doubled as the barman - was another highlight. He even helped us take our luggage across the street to our car when we checked out the following day! (I'm still not sure we tipped him enough). As to other considerations - the staff and management were wonderful, the room spacious and clean, and the bed a delight to sleep. There were also no noise issues. The location can't be faulted, either, being right in the centre of the old part of town. The 11.30 checkout meant that we had ample time to wander around before heading off to our next destination around midday. If you're looking for a place to stay that's got a touch of the unique about it and which isn't overly expensive then I certainly recommend this hotel. PS: There are toilet/change-room amenities for beach-goers under the main reception/restaurant level, which are also for the use of guests dining in the restaurant. These have to be seen to be believed.

Plussat: This hotel cleverly built into a former theatre is very novel. Its location on the beach makes it unique in the town. The breakfast and service were excellent. The hotel is wonderfully decorated and maintained. Most of the rooms are suites, usually with a mezzanine floor for the bedroom, all unique as they are built into the theatre as it was. We got an excellent deal in October (and very good sunbathing weather 3 of 4 days) at €150 for the room but in high season expect to pay €275+. Sestri Levante itself us a great location and well worth a few days for sun, sand and relaxation. Thus is a upmarket resort so no discos, clubs and noisy drunken parties.

Miinukset: The rooftop lounge and bar closed for the winter the day we arrived leaving nowhere in the hotel for guests to relax. The restaurant offers a really good value lunch but who wants this after a massive breakfast. Unfortunately the evening prices are somewhat high especially when the hotel is surrounded by excellent restaurants.

Plussat: The location was excellent. The beach facility was great. The breakfast was okay....could have had more choices, like more fresh fruits. More meats and cheeses. Nice rooftop for late day drinks and sunsets.

Miinukset: Bathrooms were confining and little to no room....for anything. Hardly room for even the towels. Bed was uncomfortable, and therefore we were very ready to leave after two nights.

Plussat: Great location for a Chinque Terra start with train to any of the 5 small villages. The staff were nice and serviceminded

Miinukset: Nice room but the bed was terrible - takes time to recover. Anoying that bathroom door didn’t look without a lift

Plussat: The room was a good size, very useful as we traveled from Australia and we have two large cases. I’d classify this hotel as “quirky” with stairs up to the sleeping mezzanine.

Miinukset: Access into the building is only by steps, quite difficult with two heavy cases

Plussat: The location.

Miinukset: If you are expecting an air conditioned room, as advertised, forget it. The air conditioning is barely perceptible. Their version of air conditioning is recirculating air.

Plussat: Great room size and excellent comfort.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: A stge property is very nice, a good conversion of an old building

Miinukset: The air conditioning had not been switched on for the summer and the room was too hot, too noisy to sleep with the window open, a fan would have been enough. Also, as it is just the beginning of the season and there were very few customers the breakfast buffet was minimum and did not look very fresh

Plussat: It isn't my habit to write about an hotel but, in this case, I can spend my best words for everything. The location is amazing and the staff was great. the landscape from the upper terrace is wonderfull during this time.

Plussat: Location was very central and great views, had a lovely opera night on the terrace which was great. Staff were nice. Good coffee. Our room was newly renovated so quite nice if you got the balcony room 5A. We only had 5A for 2 nights then 4A for 4 nights which did not have a balcony so was not worth the money.

Miinukset: We paid €487 a night for a room with no balcony, had a nice sea view from the window which looked over a car park. The transport from the train station which is 600metres is charged at €14 each way. Now when paying €486 a night, one would hope the run down shuttle car would be free since it takes just 4 mins to get to the hotel. Also breakfast was average at best, scrambled eggs were strange. Maybe from powder, first night they were ok then they were not so nice. Stay in the cheap room with a balcony with no sea view would be my advice. €200 a night, small room, not renovated but at least you can sit on the terrace and still enjoy the hotel for views from the communal bar, pool area. We stayed 6 nights with a bill of €3091.00. Argh... it was nice but not worth that kind of money.

Plussat: The view was amazing and very close to town

Miinukset: They didnt acknowledge that it was our honeymoon, the rooms were extremely old for such a beautiful hotel

Plussat: Breakfast was Ok but just OK. Found that the presentation of heated food was not particularly appetising. Indeed, the fruit similar.

Miinukset: At dinner, (raining outside) the menu was very rich and didn't provide well for a snack, although I did request to look at the child menu, whereupon was accommodated.

Plussat: Beautiful location, fantastic views, good breakfast, very good Wi Fi. They also were generous and aprooved early check in and late check out.

Miinukset: The room was nice but a little bit small, so was the bathroom,

Plussat: Spectacular view. All facilities high class. A peaceful place to spend three nights. Food of excellent quality

Plussat: The 5th floor terrace with wonferfull view

Miinukset: Small bathroom with tiny shower cabin

Plussat: Everything was excellent and the Views Spectacular!! Amazing location!!

Plussat: Paikka, henkilökunta, siisteys.

Miinukset: Omaa yksityistä rantaa ei mielestäni ollut vaikka ilmoitettiin niin.

Plussat: Wow, exceeded our expectations! What a view, what a charming hotel, loved it. Great breakfast with plenty of fresh fruits, scrambled eggs, bacon and delicious Prosecco. Went to Cinque Terre by train one day and to Portofino the next.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: There are issues over fire safety in this hotel as the management have blocked off primary evacuation routes on the 1st,2nd and 3rd floors. The plan in your room is not the same as the actual route which is now part of two other room! Mentioned it to management who just ignored me. Aware a lot of Italian hotels do not have fire alarms or smoke detectors. The Miramare has none of these inspite of new laws saying they should. Be aware.

Plussat: Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bar, lounge and restaurant areas were tastefully decorated and lovely to hang out in as the weather was bad so couldn’t go out much. Breakfast choice was great & v good coffee. Lovely sound of waves from the room. Clean rooms, good linen. Restaurant dinner was very nice.

Miinukset: We had a room in the back, bed was hard, pillows didn’t suit, rooms were stuffy even with balcony door open as air- con turned off for the season. Rooms were expensive for off season. Many shops and restaurants/ bars shut in surrounding area so a little disappointed in Sestri Levante.

Plussat: Location! Great breakfast

Plussat: Great location, worth to mention the restaurant overlooking the sea

Miinukset: They don't have irons or iron boards in the room, they force you use an external laundry. I paid 50 euros to iron a suit and a dress. Disappointing.

Plussat: Location is amazing. Views are incredible.

Miinukset: The food is terrible.

Plussat: Everything was magical! We loved it!

Plussat: Siisteys, henkilökunnan ystävällisyys, ruuan laatu ja edullisuus

Plussat: Good location, frendly staff, clean room, fine breakfast and dinner

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: An amazing breakfast buffet that lasted from 7-10. Santo the hotel owner was also very helpful with train and ferry schedules as well as insight into hiking the cinque terra trails. He also serenaded us at breakfast with beautiful piano

Plussat: As above

Miinukset: The shower unit was very small but adequate. The 3rd single bed very small. However the hotel, the linen, the bed, the breakfast, evening meals and location were fantastic.

Plussat: Plenty of food at breakfast, with a lot of choice. Buffet service was good. The evening meals were excellent & reasonable priced.

Miinukset: There was no hot food at breakfast, but plenty of choice of sweet food. The hotel was due to close for the winter in a couple of weeks & felt that facilities were on the run down. Our toilet did not flush properly & we had to keep tapping the flusher handle to stop the water running! Not really a problem though!

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent - plenty of choice. We opted to eat our evening meals in the hotel - again really nice food and excellent value for money.

Miinukset: The room was fine although the air con could have been a bit better - but as it wasn't height of the season so not too much of a bother.

Plussat: Good location in walking distance to the station and the beaches. 2 supermarkets are near by. Very good breakfast. In bathroom everything works ok. Fast check in, room was ready at around 12 am.

Miinukset: Hair dryer is too old

Plussat: Albergo Marina was nicely located, incredible clean and comfortable, and had the nicest personnel.... they were pleasant and helpful... piano and guitar in the morning playing in the lobby. We really enjoyed Sestri Levante as our gateway to the Cinque Terre... can’t go wrong staying here!

Plussat: Very nice staff especially at reception Comfortable Clean

Miinukset: Bathroom in particular sink could be more modern

Plussat: Organic breakfast was a bonus as it’s a challenge to find this on holiday

Miinukset: Very dated. Room was very dark with only a small window and shutter wouldn’t raise fully

Plussat: It was a grand hotel with unique architecture i.e. historic features of a grand villa. Although central it could be and was extremely quiet/ calm for a lot of the time. The swimming pool / garden was a good size. The outdoor dining area for breakfast and evening meals was pleasant. The coffee served outside of breakfast by the bar / cafe area was excellent. Overall aesthetically very pleasing,

Miinukset: The coffee at breakfast was not hot and I had to ask multiple times for a hot coffee. The rooms were a good size however they could have done with some investment to upgrade the style of decoration. Shower itself was small. They charged extra to use the Villa Balbi beach - this should have been included ex gratia as part of the room price.

Plussat: BREAKFAST WAS GOOD. BUT WE DID NOT WANT TO SHARE IT WITH INSECTS. TOOMANY FLYING AROUND.

Plussat: Service, breakfast, facility

Miinukset: The room was small, there is little room to do anything but sleeping.

Miinukset: Lovely location, laid back and relaxing atmosphere. Great barman.

Plussat: Good location and private parking.

Miinukset: Poor choice for breakfast, bad sound insulation of windows. Live music at Friday and Saturday till 1 a.m.

Plussat: Great location and helpful, friendly staff. Walking to the beach or further into town is a couple of minutes. We used the beach and walked around the town, plenty of restaurants, shops etc - nice vibe about the place.. There is a train which takes you around the town, which is lively and fun. Great stop to investigate the surrounding areas easily by boat.

Plussat: The Location primarily and still old fashioned courtesy and hospitality which is expected from a hotel of this class.

Miinukset: Some rooms better than others we were initially allocated a roof void which didn’t work for us but after speaking to reception we were given a room with sea view.

Plussat: The position is amazing and also the staff

Miinukset: Inside swimming pool very cold and steam bath switch off

Plussat: The breakfast buffet was outside on the patio and the choices were many. However, fruit flies were drowning in pear juice as the waiter fished them out...and bees feasted on uncovered prosciutto

Miinukset: Older, worn decor all over... not antique old just worn old

Plussat: The staff, the facilities and the overall quality and condition of the hotel. All were absolutely superb. This is a traditional Italian hotel but it’s decor is not at all shabby, it’s immaculate. The pool area is fantastic, enough shaded areas if you want them, great bar service and a very relaxed atmosphere in a friendly maze of secret gardens. The choice at breakfast is vast, the chef will happily cook omelettes etc , there is plenty of fruit, salmon, yoghurts etc available.

Miinukset: There is nothing not to love about this hotel, it location cannot be better, it just metres from the main restaurant street and about 20 feet from a lovely beach that has events on.

Plussat: Excellent location and fantastic service. Room was beautifully cool and an excellent breakfast too.

Plussat: Great location on beachfront and close to main streets. Lovely private beach cafe and bar.

Miinukset: Dated room decor. Uncomfortable bed and pillows. Shower very slow flow with either too hot or too cold water.

Plussat: I loved my room, very cosy, warm and welcoming, it had a balcony overlooking the park, it would have been even better if it had faced the sea and mountains.

Miinukset: I didn't think much of the breakfast, not very healthy, seemed to be based on carbs and sweet yoghourt

Plussat: The hotel is nice with an excellent location. The two highlights for me at this hotel was the breakfast which was divine and the rooftop.

Miinukset: The bed was a bit on the flat side and the pillows were extremely uncomfortable and flat. I was a bit disappointed that I asked for a room with a sea view, and the hotel had emailed me stating they would try to accommodate but upon checking - in the lady at the front desk curtly told me that I did not pay for that, and was quite rude. Moral of the story don't expect above and beyond service or upgrades of any sort, this place is very by the book.

Plussat: Good location..good parking...good food...and staff

Plussat: Attitude of staff was generally speaking very good! Always available and kind

Miinukset: May be the hotel could organise some events in peak season. No animation but some special things for guests.

Miinukset: Extremely overpriced compared to what one got. Small rooms, and the normal rooms had windows facing a air vent. Rooms with a view were even more outrageously expensive. The hotel was not full and yet, the staff refused to consider an upgrade, despite the fact that a 14m2 room with no view cost Euro278 per night. The rooms were what one could expect in a one-star hotel.

Plussat: Very nice guy running the place and also growing some veg and olive trees .interesting place. Near to the beach.. plenty of parking and parked motorbike under shade of tree. Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: If was all fine... although didn't get any hot water for the shower.

Plussat: Good place for one night. Nearly sea. Big parking.

Plussat: Hard to say something special As all was together made it special!!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Hospitality of our host was good. Enjoyed the very casalinga food.

Miinukset: We’re suposed to have checked in by13.00 hours

Plussat: Amazing farm place near of the beach...

Plussat: Its familiar

Miinukset: The breakfast

Plussat: The apartment was spacious and comfortable, parking was available, very friendly staff, proximity to the train station (1.2km) which one could use to get to Cinque Terre. The beach is also like 12mins away by foot. The polite dog! :)

Miinukset: Not a biggy but since we’re more into salty breakfasts and since that’s not the norm in Italy, you won’t get it here either

Plussat: Excellent location for touring Portofino, Sestri and Cinque Terre.

Miinukset: Offloading wheelie cases from the Parking area was not the easiest, as it was a gravelled pathway of approx 75m, secure but the path would benefit from a paved surface.

Plussat: All good

Miinukset: All want well

Plussat: The stuff was really helpfull and friendly. :) Vincenzo made the best he can, that we could feel like at home.

Miinukset: No hairdryer at room.

Plussat: Vincenzo was super lovely! We arrived late and he was very helpful! The room was simple but perfect for what we needed! The hotel was close to the front where we were able to find restaurants still open!

Plussat: Villa Pozzi treated me as part of their family, would definitely go back!

Plussat: The ethos - run by a Christian group and all profit generated applied to people with disabilities

Miinukset: It was a taxi/bus ride from the centre. More like a hostel than a villa

Plussat: I spent several days there. This place is really close to the seashore - 1 minute by walk. I like the nature in Riva Trigoso, I walked to the hills not far from. The seashore is also nice. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: The breakfast is very poor. There is the shipyard in Riva Trigoso. Not good sound isolation of the room. Dust on the lamps. Wifi signal was very bad in the room.

Plussat: Probably the location

Miinukset: Parking is not free and even so hard to find a spot inside, finding a white marked spot on the streets is a local sport, poor breakfast, WiFi not working

Plussat: Thanks a lot for your friendly hospitality, we felt very comfortable at your hotel!

Plussat: - the guy at reception gave us lots of great info on our excursion to 5 terre - room was very spacious

Miinukset: - there was no alternative to milk, as lactose intolerant that was not ideal

Plussat: Viihtyisä, kauniisti sisustettu hotelli. Ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta. Erittäin rauhallinen sijainti, hyvät yhteydet Ligurian rannikolla.

Miinukset: Access is off the main road, up a fairly steep drive with limited parking. Decor needs updating. No lift, lots of stairs if you are on the top floor. Breakfast average, awful coffee. Too many restrictive regulations for guests

Plussat: When the chef was on duty, the evening meal was always excellent and we appreciated the interest shown by mine host in our enjoyment of our meal and and wine, as well as the places we had visited that day.
