This is a lovely character hotel with a great pool and gardens and an excellent breakfast. Sestri Levante is a wonderful place for a seaside holiday in Liguria with easy access to many beautiful places along the coast.

Nagy, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Public areas were attractive and breakfast was excellent. Our room, on the first floor, was dark with a view of the air conditioner. Be mindful of the room you book, and get.
Janet, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The only reason for 4 stars is the building is not new, but I had a really lovely stay and the staff were very helpful. Everything felt luxury except for the price. I especially appreciated the outdoor bar/cafe and the bountiful complimentary breakfast.
Sommer, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was in a great central location and only minutes to the Bay of Silence and all the local restaurants. The room was comfortable, quite basic but had all we needed really. The shower was good and we had nice towels. We are used to staying in more modern hotels but this was more than adequate and made a nice change. The building is very beautiful. The breakfast was fairly simple but nice. We used the pool and that was lovely. The reception staff were helpful and friendly. The overall price was good compared to other hotels in the area. We would return if we visited Sestri again.
REBECCA, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Flot genskabt ramme om en Italiensk ferie.

Er man glad for italiensk historie vil du have fornøjelsen af at opleve, at bo på i et palæ som en rig købmand. Især salen for morgenmad er genskabt med sans for den imponerende detalje.

Vi hadde reist hit igjen

Enkel innsjekking, svært hyggelig personale. Eldre hotell og rom, men godt vedlikeholdt og rent. Svært harde ekstrasenger (vi hadde junior suite for 4 personer). Nydelig god frokost, flott hotellhage med sittegrupper og basseng (kaldt vann!). Tilhørende strand var også veldig bra. Merk at hotellet tar 5 euro per håndkle og 50 euro per parasoll med to solsenger i leie per dag. Svært sentral beliggenhet, Sestri Levante er et nydelig sted!

Nel cuore pulsante di Sestri Levante, questa dimora storica offre un'esperienza unica e indimenticabile. Personale professionale e gentile rendono il soggiorno ancora più gradevole. La vista dalla terrazza davvero suggestiva. Grazie.

Magiskt ställe!

Fantastisk ställe som jag varmt kan rekommendera, rum, säng, läge, frukost allt i toppklass! Stranden mitt över gatan, pool på området och all service man kan tänka. Helt klart 5/5 och en guldstjärna! Prova även ! den lilla stranden i bukten med resturanger så mysig ca 6-7 min attgå till.

5 nätter i Sestri Levante

Bästa hotellet, precis vid stranden och shoppinggata om hörnet. Nära till ett flertal restauranger i den mycket trevliga byn Sestri Levante. I trädgården finns ett fint poolområde där man kan hitta både sol och skugga. Beachen var också jättefin, där man kan hyra solstolar samt en bar med drycker och lättare lunch. Hotellbaren kan också rekommenderas för en drink innan middagen. Fantastiskt frukost Återkommer gärna hit.

Magisk miljö i city

Ett litet palats och en oas vid havet! Sån jäkla wow-känsla över hela stället! Bra restaurang, magisk bar, riktigt bra service och en helt magisk miljö! Rummen är lite äldre men ändå bra! Poolområdet super! Skönt med egen strand nedanför.
