"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."

"The room was clean and comfortable, and staying in a historic building gave the hotel some character. However, parking was quite inconvenient. It cost €35 per day, and the parking facility was located several hundred metres away from the hotel, which made arriving with luggage more difficult than expected. Overall, the room itself was fine, but the parking situation could definitely be improved."
