Bordighera is a small elegant resort and two nights is about the perfect length stay. The Villa Elise is within walking the usual full continental choices but you can order cooked eggs and there is distance of the shops and seafront with a walk back through the town to get to the hotel. It is slightly uphill and takes about... more

Our second visit to Villa Elisa and on this occasion it was to celebrate my 60th birthday. There were 12 adults and 1 child - Rita (the owner) couldn't have looked after us better. It was a wonderful location in which to celebrate this BIG birthday with family and friends. Via Romana is undoubtedly the finest street in Bordighera. The... more

To be sure, the hotel is NOT on or close to the sea. This being said, it is full of charm in one of the most lovely floral and tropical settings of Northern Italy, where few towns share similar aesthetic appeal. Rooms are simple ,nothing particularly special, but clean and pleasant. The grounds and public rooms are however exceptional with... more

We already loved Bordighera, but our stay at the Villa Elisa has made us love it more! We spent a total of ten days at the Villa Elisa this summer, and have to say that it is one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed. The ambience was perfect - they really made us feel welcome. It's the kind... more

I read plenty of reviews of hotels along the Italian Rivieria and was impressed by Hotel Elisa's feedback. Although we only stayed one night the hotel staff were accomodating especially as my boyfriend was delayed some 6 hours they welcomed him at 1am even carrying his bags from the car for him, nice touch! The hotel restaurant was chosen by... more

My wife and I found this place to be everything that it was billed. Bordighera is a quaint Italian Riviera town not too touristy like San Remo, but located close to everything you would want to see in the Riviera di Ponente. Rooms were clean, food awesome, breakfasts something to look forward to. The hotel is not on the beach... more

Bordighera is an Italian riviera town quite close to the French border. The town has a good beach promenade which is fun (walkers, cafes, restaurants) in the early evening around Easter. The hotel is 10/15 minutes walk from the promenade - which has to be reached though tunnels under the coastal railway to Genoa. A taxi from the railway station... more

Spent two weeks in July 06 at this hotel. Four adults and one three year old grandson had two rooms and we were all very well looked after by the excellent staff who could not do enough for us especially our grandson.. We spent some time each day at the hotel pool at the rear of the hotel and found... more

We stumbled upon this place looking for a spot for the night. Delightful!! As a matter of fact we plan to return. Rooms we not fancy but very clean and comfortable. Baths with tub, nice dining room, a pool and walking distance to everything in the town. The staff couldn't have been nicer and I hope to go back soon...Some... more
