Hotel guests should be well informed of what to expect on the road situation leading up the hotel so as to be better prepared.

Was a rather challenging drive up to the hotel which is situated on top of the hill as the road is rather narrow. However, fortunately they do have a transfer available at a cost and overall, the experience is very pleasant. The view from the hotel is undoubtedly spectacular.

We didn’t have a car so the trip into town was an additional cost. However it was good to have downtime in such a great place

It had amazing views and the room was very comfortable. The pool was nice and the restaurant was excellent

Pool was cold, as you'd expect in Spring! Only small improvement could have been more of a bar area - staff very kindly brought beers to the outside patio when we asked but we felt bad taking them out of their other tasks.

Beautiful, secluded hotel - gorgeous outside seating and the views are unparalleled. Every staff member was lovely but, as another review says, Valentino is really the 'heart' of the place. Windy road to get up to the hotel which I wouldn't love to tackle at night so we opted to eat at the restaurant all three nights and each meal was truly excellent, and reasonably priced! Breakfast was good too. Would definitely come again.

Our stay here was perfect. The hotel was so lovely, with updated accommodations. The hotel sits high above the Bay of La Spezia. The views of the Bay are spectacular! If you are accustomed to driving the roads of Italy, the drive up to the hotel is fine. The staff is very friendly. Book a room here, you will not regret it!

The rooms were lovely with everything you need. Just the bed was a little hard and lacked sound proofing between the rooms especially in the hallway. Otherwise it was fabulous.

Great location and our room had a beautiful view of the harbour. All the staff were friendly. We had a lovely dinner one night and enjoyed the breakfast every morning. We drove to La Spezia train station within 12 mins to visit Cinque Terre. The jacuzzi was fabulous after a big day of sight seeing.

We loved absolutely everything! The rooms are spacious and impeccable in terms of cleanliness. The place is run by two people who have all the professionalism you can hope for and on top of that really care about Theo customers and accommodate every wish. - We could pick up a coffee prior to breakfast and have glasses from the bar for our “own” wine. The food in the restaurant is great and exceeds what you can expect from a hotel restaurant. Prices are more than reasonable They also have a vast selection of wine and again you can take the house wine, which is absolutely fine or chose from the local or international selection. The place is quiet and has a lovely pool and beautiful garden and terraces with lemon and clementine trees as well as many local plants. It feels like you are at the garden of Eden. Perfect for Lovers or old still-in-love couples like us. What you cannot do: walk into town. You need a car, as there are no boardwalks nor lights at night and it is a drive of around 10 minutes to go to town. However, you can always get a taxi for ca 25 Euros per trip.

It’s quite difficult to get to without a car and the local taxi drivers are a bit reluctant to drive up there which is a shame. There are steps down to a bus but they are not very well maintained.

The view across the city is amazing and our room was in a great position and very large.

the road to the property was very narrow for a large SUV

location was superb great view over the bay.

A car is a must or you will need to taxi to train station, don’t know how much that would be daily. Road to Ville is not for the faint hearted, but once you are there you will know it was worth it

View from above Bay is stunning, room was clean and comfortable with the same stunning view. Staff was wonderful and helpful.

If you didn't have a car it was isolated no where to go. No transport to get into La Spezia except Taxi which would charge you to pick you up. This cost €30 euros. This should be noted in details

The location was stunning. Peaceful views were incredible. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was good selection 😋

Perhaps warm the pool a little bit more so you can swim in it anytime?

Superb view and loved how quiet and peaceful everything was. Breakfast was so delicious and freshly made. Staff was helpful too!

Nothing I did not like

Views. Peace. Pool.

Very difficult access without a car, I wouldn't recommend to go there without a car. We travelled by train and you can only access the hotel by taxi that adds around 25€ per trip. This makes it difficult to explore the region during the stay.

The hotel is small and cosy, super nice staff brings a relaxing atmosphere. The view is stunning and every room has a balcony with sea view. The pool is a highlight. The room was small but comfortable. The restaurant was really good.

Facilities/rooms are a bit outdated. They could have more comfortable beds

Staff were amazing and helpful! Great views of Puglia coast

It was quite a disappointment to realise, that taxi costs 20-30eur one way to get there from town/train station.

Beautiful view, good breakfest. Big size room.

Stayed in August 2023

Maybe is a bit far a way and hard to get there, definitely a place to go by car or to get a taxi, but i guess the entire purpose is to have a peaceful and quite place a bit outside the crowded city.

The location was amazing and the place was lovely, the stuff was very friendly and were always there to help with anything. The food in the restaurant was very good as well, i definitely wanna come back.

Beautiful place, wonderful view, helpfull staff, very good restaurant

Perhaps each day also some meat on the breakfast ? During a few days CNG tankers where loading/delivering CNG gas in La Spezia CNG terminal. This causes some low humming noise which wasn't always pleasant.

We asked to change room which wasn't a problem. Nice hotel location. Nice view on La Spezia bay/harbor from the room's balcony, swimming pool, dining/breakfast area. Cleanliness of the hotel. Quiet room. Nice continental breakfast (smoked salmon). La Spezia is a nice town itself to go out for dinner, to shop, ... Central location of La Spezia: boat, train to Le Cinque Terre.
