Hotel La Gioiosa

The staff is very friendly. Beautiful view. Homemade food. The best hotel I have ever stayed in Italy.

Die wunderschöne Lage des Hotels.

Lovely hotel on the hill. Very kind staff and ownership. Easy and free parking. I was here with my dog for a couple nights to check out the area (I live in Turin). I booked last minute and found this spot. It’s relatively high on the hill, so while you can walk to the beach pretty easy, it does require a car. Thankfully there is parking. The restaurant at the hotel is great and locals came there for dinner. Overall, a warm, charming base with great views, a bit far from the beach but manageable.

Nothing. It was a good spot.

Une merveilleuse expérience dans un lieu enchanteur. On est loin d un luxe tapageur mais quelle joie d être accueilli comme si nous faisions partie de la famille ( trois générations travaillent dans l établissement). La gentillesse est omniprésente. Tout est fait pour nous satisfaire. La nourriture est de qualité, tout est fait maison et de quelle manière ! Les chambres sont simples mais propres…..et quelle vue ! Bref une antichambre du paradis

Excellent location with sea view and delicious restaurant

Soggiornato 3 giorni a pasqua, colazione ottima e abbondante, camera pulita, i gestori sono molto disponibili e gentili, il ristorante è ottimo, da ritornare e consigliare ad amici

Bellissima location Vista spettacolare Cibo ottimo Cordiali e simpatici

Our return to La Gioiosa after a gap of six years was wonderful from start to finish. The welcome we received on arrival was exceptional and we were conducted to a very spacious room for three of us. The bathroom was well designed and functional and there was plenty of storage space in the bedroom. The views from the balcony were extraordinary with almost the whole Ligurian coastline spread out in front of you. Beds were comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was truly delightful with so many options: local fresh fruit and plenty of home made items meant that there was something for everyone. The restaurant in the evening provided a small menu, but with exceptional quality, all local produce, superbly cooked and presented. The staff were friendly and informative throughout. A truly excellent four days and the only disappointing thing was the fact we had to leave. This is a truly superb hotel in every respect, in an equally superb location.

The only word of caution, no reflection on the hotel of course, is the path down to the beach. It was fine for us (I'm a 58 year old with two knackered knees) and my daughter sprinted up and down it with no problems. Less mobile individuals would struggle I imagine, as it is quite steep and uneven in places. Some form of transport to the beach would therefore be required. I am sure this could be arranged and indeed some of the other guests clearly drove down to Final Ligure to the beach.

Staff were so kind Authentic Italian food at breakfast and dinner everything was home made. Even the pasta. The view was spectacular and room perfect size. Toiletries added, and clothes line on balcony for drying. Shower was so nice. And very very quiet.

I knew it was on a hill but didn't realize that all things accessible were down the hill and going up and down was brutal. We didn't have a car and a cab was 20€ one way. It would have been good to know the actual setting. I wish there was a coffee machine or kettle in the room as I am an early riser and there was no way to get a coffee/tea before 8. So that bummed me out in the morning. Or a little fridge for storing some water or beer for later in the afternoon. Wifi was not the best unless you were directly in the room. Although noticed it was like that much of Europe so not really a negative. For me from Canada, sitting on the balcony having a coffee watching the sun come up would have helped make the trip. So I was a little bummed.
