The Hotel Villa Balbi is an outstanding hotel with the best staff in Europe. Mario, Alessandro, Vincenzo at the front desk as well as the rest of the staff treat you like family and are a large part of the fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
Beautiful hotel in beautiful grounds. Bedroom was large and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and served in the garden which was a real treat. The pool area is very well situated in the garden with plenty of recliners and gazebos. The hotel is situated across from the sea front and the hotel has its own private beach for which you have to pay extra (50 euros a day for 2 recliners and an umbrella, a bit steep in my opinion). The Main Street of Sestri L is just behind the hotel and has a great choice of bars and restaurants. I would highly recommend this hotel and am sure we will be back in the future
Beautiful setting; hotel rooms very comfortable with great beds. Room maid service was excellent and front desk helped with scheduling drivers and any request.
Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was in a great central location and only minutes to the Bay of Silence and all the local restaurants. The room was comfortable, quite basic but had all we needed really. The shower was good and we had nice towels. We are used to staying in more modern hotels but this was more than adequate and made a nice change. The building is very beautiful. The breakfast was fairly simple but nice. We used the pool and that was lovely. The reception staff were helpful and friendly. The overall price was good compared to other hotels in the area. We would return if we visited Sestri again.

Public areas were attractive and breakfast was excellent. Our room, on the first floor, was dark with a view of the air conditioner. Be mindful of the room you book, and get.
This is a lovely character hotel with a great pool and gardens and an excellent breakfast. Sestri Levante is a wonderful place for a seaside holiday in Liguria with easy access to many beautiful places along the coast.
The hotel was grand historic villa with beautiful architectural details. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. I especially enjoyed the outdoor garden dining and swimming pool.
