I was in this great hotel in the summer 2011. Located in one of the most breath taking place in the world, sestri levante, the hotel puts together confort and class without being snobby and too modern. A park, a nice pool, the walking distance to the beach and the town center does the rest. Few km away you find... More

I start saying I am Italian despite I am leaving as expect since may years. I know very well Sestri Levante and the Villa Balbi, I started to be a guest since I was 5 years old! The old villa and the reception/entrance has a lot of charm, unfortunately this is not for the rooms, because most of them are... More

We've just returned from 14 days staying half board at the Hotel Villa Balbi and we were very impressed with the standards of service, accommodation and food. All the staff worked hard to make our stay enjoyable and problem free, particularly in reception and the dining room. We lost a jacket on the airport bus and the reception team called... More

The hotel is located close to the beach, the park in the back is nice, the old villa atmosphere is charming, our room in the old villa was large, classically furnished and really worth the money. Parking is reasonably safe. The hotel is frequented by tourist groups, the breakfast is modest and hectic. The entrance/service at the private hotel beach... More

Stayed here for a weekend in july 2011. Room was nice, with air-condition, and a decent looking bathroom. This room had a sea view over the northern beach, which was very nice. Service in the hotel was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice, with fresh fruit, meat, cheeses, and decent coffee.

Beautiful building, but that's not where rooms are located. Room was nice, bathroom old, on first floor rooms, dinner and breakfast guests are just across the window, in the garden; noise and reduced privacy! Beach is disappointing, lot of dirty pigeons walking around.

The hotel was very nice...located across the street from a nice beach spot...the service was great...the breakfast was great...would def go back, and im picky. i was most impressed by the fact that my teen son left his iphone and when we called the next day they informed me they had already emailed me of the finding and would mail...

I've been to Villa Balbi for four years and I must say it's a good hotel, though a bit overpriced (they usually are in Italy). There are three different "areas" in this hotel: the old one, right bove the reception desk, with rooms facing the sea, is what most people imagine when booking here. The second one is the new...

Villa Balbi located in suberb location. Historical looking facade with lovely public areas and great garden breakfast area. Our room for 3 nights was far off in a wing and very, very sparse, but however very clean as well. Shower was extremely small and once inside could not move or bend over. But with all the sightseeing we did, it... More
