We spent a lovely long weekend at this family friendly hotel with our 11 year old son. The pool area was lovely, restaurant served a variety of food for breakfast. we ate in the restaurant one evening which was very nice sitting outside by the pool. The staff were friendly and helpful especially the waiting staff. Our family room was spacious and exceptionally clean. Shower was great! Only negative was the pretty non existent air conditioning and wi fi. We also had to pay for parking as the free spaces were already taken on our arrival. The plus side of this was that it was underground so our car stayed cool! Our plans did change between booking the hotel and us arriving. We advised the hotel we wouldn’t be staying the 3rd night on arrival but they still charged us the full rate of €175 for this night which we felt was excessive, a reduced rate would have been fairer The hotel was located in a small residential town convenient for local restaurants, shops and the beach. We booked a boat trip from the marina to a secluded beach. €10 per person, €5 for children and they kindly lent us a much needed beach Brolley too! Would recommend this trip, just don’t take your flip flops off on the black sand!! Overall a lovely break which felt like we experienced the real Italy as only heard one other English voice the whole time we were there!

This is my second stay at this hotel this month. It's a comfortable hotel on the edge of the countryside and river. With lovely pool area and dining around the pool for a real holiday feel. The staff are fabulous are really friendly and help make the stay special. Breakfast is basically continental with scrambled eggs and sausages, cold platter and various pastries . My only real complaint would be a lack of fresh fruit, otherwise it's ok. On site underground free parking is available on a first come first served basis. The pool is kept spotless and towels are provided in the room for pool use. To get a higher rating there would need to be tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms, oh and a few more coat hangers would help.

“Cool hotel, but could be cooler !”

Very comfortable,relaxed family run hotel with a good pool in a village location (where there are a good choice of restaurants a short walk away from the hotel). There is a bus service from the top of the road that runs into the town of Sarzana from where you can get trains to resorts all along the coast but a car is recommended to make the most of your stay ( secure free parking is available ). The room was of a very good size ( ours was no 210 overlooking the pool ) with a balcony. Very clean, well furnished bathroom, and plenty of choice at the continental breakfast buffet. The only minus point during our stay was that with temperatures of 30+ outside the air conditioning in the rooms and public areas was inadequate, and as mentioned in a previous review, turned off for a couple of hours in the morning. A big plus point were the staff, who were helpful and friendly throughout our stay,especially the charming Silvia (la ragazza con gli occhi belli). In conclusion, a great little hotel,but not quite cool enough.

On first sight this looks a very nice hotel we had a nice room overlooking the pool . The beds are quite hard and there was no air con at the time of our visit . On the first morning we were the only guests and breakfast was a joy eggs freshly cooked fresh coffee . The next day a coach arrived and when we went down for breakfast the hot plate had scrambled eggs that looked the worse for ware we were told the coffe was in the urns on with coffee and the other with milk the coffee was cold we asked for hot coffee and got it but it wasn’t well received that we asked . The hotel is quite close to some lovely restaurants and the food and service was lovely.

“Basic”

Clean and ok, but not more. Friendly staff, but nothing extraordinary. Stayed in a family room. The beds were so firm I could hardly sleep. The AC was on maximum effect all the time, but the temperature was still exhausting. Also the AC made a noisy sound making it hard for us to sleep. The great p… more

Clean and ok, but not more. Friendly staff, but nothing extraordinary. Stayed in a family room. The beds were so firm I could hardly sleep. The AC was on maximum effect all the time, but the temperature was still exhausting. Also the AC made a noisy sound making it hard for us to sleep. The great plus was the pool which was large clean and nice. Breakfast ok. Parking in basement good.
