Guest Reviews

• MikeD56 (10/5): Lovely villa with a killer view of the bay. - Staff accommodating, the view was very nice, the bed and pillows were very comfortable, the breakfast was fine, Two items to be aware of, the property is located midway up a hill so you need to walk some steep stairs. If you're somewhat mobility limited, or have heavier luggage, use the road in front of the train station. It less steep but a bit longer. Also, the property is above the rail lines so you will hear the trains passing. Walk up and train noise.
• Denise (7/5): Aufenthalt in einer schönen alten Villa mit Abstrichen - Der Blick auf das Meer ist wirklich super schön. Man ist fußläufig in 5 min an der Promenade. Parkplatz teuer aber sicher. Die Bahnstrecke liegt direkt unterhalb vom Hotel daher wirklich sehr laute Zugeräusche. Schlafen nur mit Ohrstöpseln möglich. Das Frühstück, welches man am Vortag auf einem Blatt Papier auswählen musste, war bescheiden.
• Charles Remy (10/5): Relaxing in luxury. - Breakfast was excellent and served on a lovely terrace.
• Arne Borg (10/5): - Beautiful place to stay, with grand views of Santa Magherita. Room was spacious and very comfortable. Loved the breakfasts on the terrace. The staff were wonderful.
• Nicholas (10/5): -
• Maria Eugenia (10/5): Romantica Santa Margherita - Bellissima villa storica con giardino, in un contesto di ville storiche a due passi dal lungomare. Le camere sono molto curate e l'ambiente è raffinato e romantico. Il personale davvero gentile.
• Hyhebby (10/5): Magnifica struttura!!! - La gentilezza dello staff , la posizione e la bellezza della struttura Niente , tutto bene
• mador (10/5): Feels like staying in a castle! Amazing view, beautiful design and kind staff! - The hotel was even better than expected, such beautiful view, the design is perfect, with such attention to details. It felt like staying in a castle. The staff were very nice and helpful!
• Henri (10/5): -
• Minna (9/5): Amazing stay at the villa - Upeat maisemat, iloinen, ihana henkilökunta ja kauniit huoneet.
• Ilda (10/5): - Lovely experience, a very nice establishment. Everything was great.:)
• David (10/5): Villa Gelsomino is a beautiful B&B with stunning views. We hope to return someday. - The villa is exceptionally beautiful and luxurious. Our balcony offered views of the bay that are stunningly beautiful. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful, served on a terrace with beautiful views. Great location, close to the train station.
• Aymen (10/5): - Amazing place and view
• Marek (10/5): -
• Ellen (8/5): - Prachtige accommodatie, heerlijk ontbijt met mooie view en parkeermogelijkheid. Niets
• Agnieszka (9/5): - Magnifique établissement,vue emplacement, petit déjeuner. Jardin. Chien bien venus. RAS
• Beatrice (10/5): -
• Dominique (6/5): Beaucoup trop cher pour cet hôtel - Un superbe endroit avec une vue imprenable sur la baie de Santa Margherita Ligure. On indique à 400m du centre mais c'est env à 600m à pied et à 1km avec une poussette. Pour le petit déjeuner, malgré qu'il n'y a que 7 chambres, vous devez faire votre choix la veille et tout est facturé en plus, sinon vous avez droit à 1 tartine de pain sec avec de la confiture. Omelettes, fromage, jambon, jus de fruit = tout est facturé. Impossible pour mon mari de rentrer dans la minuscule douche .... Lors du souper où nous étions évidemment les seuls .... les rats couraient sur les clôtures de la vue sur la baie = apéritif coupé ! Et ce n'était pas un mais une invasion ! Sans parler qu'on a voulu, lors de ma réservation booking, me vendre une chambre 200€ plus cher .... charme complètement rompu ....
• Allana (10/5): Beautiful Villa with Character and Comfort - We really enjoyed our stay, the villa has so much character with its frescoed ceilings and old floors, but it still feels comfortable and modern inside. Our room was spotless and had a lovely view. Breakfast was also great - fresh, homemade, and served in a beautiful spot overlooking the water. The team were all very very friendly and happy to help with anything we needed, including helping us store our luggage. The location is great too – just a short walk into town and to the train, which made exploring easy. The walk back up can be a bit steep with large luggage, so you might find taking the road makes it slightly easier. You do hear some trains pass by, but it didn’t affect our stay at all and is to be expected along this stretch of coast. Overall, it’s a unique and charming place to stay, and we’d happily come back.
• enrico (10/5): - Bella villa genovese, camera spaziosa, bagno con finestra,, bel patio per colazione (ottima). Parking comodo, camera insonorizzata (ferrovia vicina come in quasi tutta la Liguria). Struttura con splendida vista mare dall’alto e pur vicina al lungomare con scalinate comode.
• Maree (10/5): - Beautiful outlook and first class accommodation. Magnificent period and antique decor.
• Mario (7/5): è stato di nostro gradimento per la posizione collinare della struttura con una magnifica vista. - La colazione é stata ben servita al tavolo e hanno soddisfatto tutte le nostre richieste. La vasca jacuzzi, non é stato possibile fare l'idromassaggio, in quanto era sporca di foglie.
• Jennifer (10/5): Charming luxurious boutique hotel in a fab location - Relaxed and friendly hotel beautifully furnished
• Luciana (8/5): Muito bom hotel, confortável! Otima experiência - Café da manhã ótimo, boas opções e linda vista Para acessar o centro tem uma escada
• Amal (10/5): رائعه -
• Catherine (7/5): I wouldn't come back - The house is very quiet and beautiful Italian style, beautifully kept and very large rooms , high ceilings, delicate china coffee, tea sets in the room. It didn't try the bath jacuzzi, but it looked super nice. The help with the luggage from the train station. The villa is far from the center, too near the train station, it is a good and less good point. The AC is not strong enough for this large room when it is very hot. And I am sorry to say that when I checked out, Barbara was at the desk, and she was horrible to me, addressed me as if she was forced to, making a face when i just asked for a taxi and help with my suitcase, no elevator. I was super friendly, Anyhow, it was so embarrassing, and it was just so different with the Italian couple after me, that it felt very awkward.
• Riccardo (7/5): Comunque le persone di servizio tutte molto gentili. - Posizione Una ristrutturazione/arredamento non al livello del potenziale della villa
• Eric (10/5): - This was an amazing experience. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The property itself is beautiful with an amazing view overlooking the sea. The rooms were spacious with pretty frescos. The hotel is a short walk to the train station (although it was a bit difficult to find the path up to the hotel at first) and to downtown Santa Margherita (which is lively, vibrant, and has many stores for shopping). It is also a quick drive to Portofino and Rapallo. Additionally, there is a water taxi available that services Santa Margherita. We only stayed one night, but I wish we had stayed longer. I would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you for the stay, Grazie Millie. I really can't complain about anything. The only thing maybe would be the very occasional sounds of trains since your close to the station. But this was minimal at best. I really recommend staying here.
• Clara (10/5): -
• Matteo (10/5): Highly recommended! - The staff was incredibly friendly and kind, they even gave us a room upgrade upon arrival. The property is sitting on a beautiful hill above Santa Margherita Ligure and the breakfast in the patio overlooks the stunning bay. Highly recommended!
• Graham (10/5): I would stay again in a heartbeat - All of it👍 Na
• Claudine (7/5): Good -
• Giuseppe (9/5): Superb -
• Timea (7/5): Beautiful villa. Stunning view but unfortunately for us it lacked any heart. - The original villa, the view, the privacy and room was spacious I booked this villa far in advance due to the fact that we had our 30th wedding anniversary. No one mentioned our anniversary while there, yet I had specifically noted this to the accommodation. Staff were more transactional than personable, busy upselling (breakfast, wine, honey, “welcome apero” at eur25, for 2 etc). The communal terrace was nice, but we could not enjoy it as a gentleman was constantly smoking there.
• Robert (3/5): Very bad experience and will not recommend anyone to stay there, especially if you Asian American. - Well if you want to try to stay in an hotel with 150yrs old history, this is the place. Everything worked fine. The staff (Silvia) was great. Oh the owner (female) who was very rude and not helpful at all. The bad ratings all because of her attitude. I have never seen such behavior from a hotel with this heritage. She did not want to let us keep the luggage for a couple of hours after we checked out and said this is not the policy. She also did not allow us to park the car after checking out as those parking are for her guests. The spaces are open as the check out time is 11am and check in time is 3pm or after. She had to charge us for the parking full price. About the 25€ breakfast, just forget about it as it didn’t even worth 10€.
• Huda (4/5): The property not allowed more than 2 people in the room and we are 3 people and they requested us to leave the hotel - Nothing Nothing
• Beverley (10/5): Exceptional -
• Norberto (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place for couples.
• Lísa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Noel (10/5): We look forward to visiting this little jewel with friends in the future. - This historic and lovingly maintained villa was beautiful and the location and view are top.Staff was helpful, friendly and attentive to our needs. Walking distance to town, ferry, shopping and dining. Steep stairs so nice for us to get our steps in but could be difficult for less fit people but driving down from the villa into town is a possibility as we found easy pay parking the day we checked out. Three pairs of shoes later I was very happy. The garden is a little tired and there is a train close by but it didn’t hinder of sleep or stay.
• Franky (9/5): Superb -
• Najjar (9/5): Superb -
• Ivan (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location with private parking. Easy access to the port and to the bus to Portofino. Very helpful staff and amazing view during the breakfast.
• Florinda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claire (10/5): Peaceful, comfortable stay - Peaceful, comfortable stay: excellent location, facilities, room and bed all great, beautiful terrace and outdoor area which would be fabulous in good weather.
• Montesi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Valerie (8/5): Very good -
• Davide (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anastasiia (10/5): Amazing views 🥰 - The view and the house itself is incredible. The service was very helpful and friendly. Comfortable bed, bathroom and coffee/tea in the room. Shower and toilet with glass doors are directly next to the bed. For some people might be uncomfortable. But that's ok.
• Janice (9/5): Superb -
• Jakub (10/5): Located a five-minute walk from the centre, a beautiful old villa set in a wonderful seaside town. The view from the ter - The building, the view, the place and the charming hosts Nothing
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful villa with amazing views and wonderful garden, caring attentive hosts. The breakfasts are delicious, there are local products, the room has a kettle, delicious teas and a coffee machine, the beds are comfortable, the room is cozy. Thanks!
• Stuart (9/5): gtreat - Great views The stairs to our room. The price you pay for beautiful old villas.
• Sean (8/5): Unique and beautiful place but some room for improvement - A beautiful and unique place with extraordinary murals and mosaics There is a LOT of noise from the railway The breakfast lacked something for the price category. Even the add-ons were not that great. I really didn’t like being asked to pay extra for parking. That was just gratuitous. It left a bad taste.
• Kyle (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly staff, amazing room.
• Carla (10/5): Top! It seems that time has stopped and you can rest and enjoy - Everything! Location, the house, the Suite (Camogli), the View to Sta. Margherita and the sea, the staff
• Ismael (10/5): Exceptional - The villa is a great piece of history, exceptional floors and ceilings, like overnighting in a museum. The view of the bay from villa is an unforgettable experience. Having a coffee while observing the view is a guilty pleasure. Breakfast was excellent
• Philippe (9/5): Superb -
• William (10/5): Fantastic - Very beautiful room in historic style. Dining room for breakfast was even more spectacular. Mini bar could be cooler so we could keep milk in it. Getting there a bit tricky. We went up the 200+ stairs at La Specia end of station. Would have been much better to go around the longer way (Genoa end) as there are no stairs just sloping road. Even better option is taxi even though it is close to station.
• Rita (9/5): Superb - The Villa is a true gem with lots of original features. We were lucky enough to get an upgraded to a junior suite, which was ample and had a spectacular view of the coast. It is a short walk(uphill) from the train station. The shower was very modern and spacious. The only not so positive note is the breakfast. Certain items such as eggs on toast, avocado toast, ham or freshly squeezed orange juice come at an additional charge. Breakfast needs to be ordered the day before as it is not a buffet breakfast, and the accomodation is keen on adopting a zero waste policy (which i agree with) Having said this, however, I believe that if you are offering breakfast with the rate all items offered should be available rather than having to pay extra.
• Karen (10/5): Luxury surroundings & beautiful views with special touches - Location from the train station- a few stairs to climb but very short. The view is superb. The luxurious feel of the room is wonderful with its painted ceilings & gorgeous antique styled furniture. The staff were friendly & very accommodating. Breakfast felt decadent, beautiful & a sheer delight! The beautiful touches were not overlooked - aesthetically gorgeous (-: N/A
• Anna-louise (9/5): I would definitely stay here again! - Beautiful hotel , beautiful views and garden , nice staff Stairs from the train station are not a good option for some ( for those with mobility issues ). Take the road which is a bit longer and easier .
• Rebekka (10/5): Exceptional - We LOVED everything. So far the best stay we have ever had. Receptionist friendly and helpful, room upgrade with bath tub. A real feeling of a castle. Stunning views from the lobby. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! 💕💕 parking was 20€ and the streets are super narrow, no other parking possible.
• Cynthia (10/5): Beautiful villa where excellent staff will make your stay perfect! - Everything! Beautiful historic villa with great care taken to preserve original features like the frescoes on ceilings. Spacious rooms with views over city & tastefully done modern bathrooms. You feel like royalty enjoying a nice breakfast in the breakfast salon. Pretty gardens surround the villa. Located in area of private villas yet easy to walk from train station or into town. And great staff who make the stay perfect. 10+ Nothing If you walk there from train station & want to avoid the long sets of stairs use Google maps driving directions & the road is easy to walk
• Steven (10/5): We wish we stayed longer, and hope to return! LOVE LOVE SML!! - This hotel was worth the splurge! The accommodations were exceptional, the property absolutely beautiful with the well-maintained garden. Both the sleeping area and large bathroom were wonderful. The delicious breakfast was served elegantly in the upstairs area just outside our room. We booked the Junior Suite with the Sea View and were not disappointed. We had a small balcony to enjoy one of the best views of SML! Staff was waiting to greet us and were very pleasant and welcoming. We liked the security maintained by the property. One appealing factor in considering this hotel was its proximity to the train station. Although nearby, the directions given to arrive to the hotel (on foot) from the train station were complicated. TAKE A TAXI! If you have any luggage (and of course you do!) it is not worth the trouble -- too many steps, confusing paths and no clear signage. Once you see the route the taxi takes, it makes it clearer how to access the city center on foot (downhill, without luggage). NOTE: this is less a negative and rather "for your information" -- there are two flights of steps to access the upper floor -- no elevator.
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -

• Alyson (10/5): It was extremely enjoyable - This is a beautiful and authentic property with a feel of history . The rooms are large and very comfortable . The staff are friendly and extremely helpful in every way . After a long day exploring it’s the ideal place to relax . If you are coming by train it is best to get a taxi for the very short ride up the hill. One could not negotiate the stairs with luggage . This is not a negative just nice to know .
• Philippa (10/5): Effortless glamour. Just beautiful. - Stunning decor and design. Parking wasn’t a problem and stairs lead down over the railway to the waterfront bars and restaurants😀
• Lisa (10/5): You'll love this place - Really beautiful Villa, amazing Views, Amazing bedroom. Fantastic breakfast. Great safe parking. Close to train Station. Few steps down to the coastal town, with great Bars (Sabot* fantastic Drinks) and great Restaurants,( If you're not so fit, then take a taxi;) and then from the town it's a 10min bus drive to go visit Portofino. Definately recommend staying here. :)
• Giorno (7/5): Decent stay. - Bed was very comfortable Walking from train station was difficult.
• Nancy (8/5): Fabulous place, a little isolated - Beautiful villa, great view, nice room, lovely lobby and elegant upstairs salon. Very Good breakfast. Terrific staff. Nice bathroom. Wonderful balcony in the room. Difficult to drive to villa, very tight streets. Only access to city is many, many steps, some without handrails. Unlit at night, somewhat scary. No restaurants within walking distance.
• Allan (10/5): Excellent, beautiful place to stay - Extremely clean Beautiful views Pleasant, helpful staff High quality bed and linens Excellent breakfast
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
• Flavia (9/5): Amazing views and villa - view, silence, music, the villa is amazing
• Hanna (4/5): The hotel has potential with beautiful location and villa, but poor customer service and hospitality will stop us from c - Location is good. Breakfast had potential. One of the owners was really helpful and service minded. One of the owners was very arrogant and made us feel like we were intruding. On the night we stayed there they also had a big family gathering or something and occupied the facilities which is fine, but it would have been nice to been informed beforehand since it’s pretty loud overall in the hotel. We asked to leave the car for 1-2 extra hours which we were asked to pay additional 15 euros for, and it just came off as poor service. We expected more.
• Regina (9/5): Superb - Breakfast served in our room was fantastic! Beautiful view from our room and the patio, located very near the train station and local attractions like the beach and free botanical gardens Lack of ice available, we dragged luggage up many steps to arrive at the property from the train station because we didn't realize there was a better route via a road. The trip back to the train was easy peasy.

• Hannah (7/5): Good hotel but staff could be friendlier - A good location near the train station. There is train noise during the day but it stops at night. Beautiful views across to the sea.

• Alina (10/5): Beautiful historical villa carefully renovated - Very beautiful historical villa - perfect combination of historical interiors of palace and modern bathrooms and other devices. Very good location with not long stairs leading right to the center of town and beach. The view from the Delux rooms and terraces is unbeatable! Fantastic! The hosts were caring and very friendly. Beautiful green territory and home made breakfasts. Our stay at this villa costed every cent we spent! And they have their own parking. Nothing which we unlike.

• Marisa (10/5): A splendid historical villa in a heavenly setting! - We loved everything about the property. The decor and architecture is stunning, the gardens are lovely! The breakfast on the terrace was wonderful and the staff were exceptional. I can’t think of anything I disliked. The only “con” might be if vicinity to the station but that is also a positive for those without a car.
