Hotel Villa Margherita - Levanto

It was raining the day I left so the owner drove me to the train station.i had asked for a cab but volunteered to drop me off.then he bought me an espresso before he left.

The hotel was beautiful and welcoming. It would have been nice if the staff on the day of arrival would have been the same. The parking is a narrow drive into a garage and you must leave your keys at the desk so that the cars can be moved to allow others to leave.

On a hill just north of downtown Levanto, about a 10 min or less walk to center. Quiet area with attractive gardens, and view to valley. With luggage, about a 15 minute _strenuous_ walk with ups & downs, from train station. Got a lift back to station. Strongly recommend you get a pick-up by hotel when you arrive, or take a taxi. NOT recommended for guests with difficulty climbing stairs...there are a lot of them. Clean, spare, modern room in 3-room addition at top of property. All appointments functional. Front desk greeting a bit brusque. Breakfast OK. Breakfast room cramped and a bit dark; small terrace but only 2 tiny tables; had to wait one morning for a table to free up. At Euro 160/night, seems a bit high even for Cinque Terre region.

Wonderful breakfast large room, could use another lamp, clean . a nice alternative to congestion of cinque terre. warning that the distance from railroad is not immediate and an uphill walk ending in a stairway to reception. other wise beautiful grounds and villa

Good location. Very good breakfast. Nice folks. We would stay there again.

Glad to have returned. The facility is lovely and overlooks the community and sea. Great value for the money. I look for to returning to the charming Villa Margherita on my next visit to Cinque Terre.

We visitted Levanto because we wanted to visit cinque terre. the choice was perfect. Hotel villa Margherita was marvelles, it has a wonderfull garden to relax, it is located near the village, wich is also verry nice. There are many good restaurants and places to be in the evening.

Great stay. Breakfast buffet was also great. Very helpful with restaurants and hiking details. Purpose of stay was pleasure. I would recommend this hotel and intend to return.

Extremly arrogant and unhelpful owner. Very poor value for money Poor breakfast my worst experience in Italy

We booked this room before realizing it was recommended in the Rick Steve's Italy travel guide. This property was everything he said and then more. Beautiful gardens, warm hospitable staff, good breakfast. We will definitely stay here again on future trips.

We stayed 3 days in a separate apartment just up the road. The apartment was a large 3 bedroom one and was very comfortable. The reason we were in the apartment was that the owner had missed changing the availability status on Venere for one of our three nights. He offered the apartment for the full three nights, to obviate our having to change for one night. All in all, well handled. The breakfast in the main building was outstanding and the availability of a parking garage was a real plus in an area where parking can be a problem.

Getting out of the hotel is not that easy because the entrance is in the street below but you know, we are in Liguria and not in Texas... Very good stay, we'll get back to this lovely hotel

Parking garage and its entrance very narrow
