What a lovely location. Our family enjoyed everything about this hotel - the views were fabulous from upstairs, the buffet dinner and evening a highlight and the area was well worth a visit. In particular the pool was great and the staff member in attendance went out of his way to make our son's swim enjoyable and our relaxing with... more

My wife and I have travelled extensively for the last 10 years and this hotel was without doubt the worst value for money accomodation we have had. Simple things that no hotel should get wrong. Mold in the bathroom, rattling airconditioning, breakfast that was served until 10 but gone by 9:30 - with 5-6 breakfast staff showing no interest in... more

Just got back from 7 nights at the Vis a Vis. The website doesn't really give you an accurate impression of the rooms which are a little on the old fashioned side. But the views from the bar area and restaurant incredible. Staff were brilliant and the place is well located for the town centre and railway station which is... more

We just returned from our first trip to Italy. We stayed at Hotel Vis a Vis from April 22-24. We were enroute from Siena to Venice to conclude our trip and were staying in Liguria to hike through Cinque Terre - which was amazing! We chose Sestri Levante since it was only a 1/2 hr train ride to Cinque Terre.... more

The hotel was position on top of a hill with fantastic views over the bays of the town and up the coast... more

The Vis-à-vis is built into the side of a promontory above Sestri Levante, affording spectacular views of the Gulf of Tigulio and the Bays of Silence and Fables on either side of the peninsula of old Sestri. It is reached from street level through a tunnel and an elevator to the reception level. The pokey elevator only holds five, so... more

We spent 8 nights here during August and September. Our room was small, but nice and had a beautiful view of the sea and town (not all rooms do). The restaurant food was excellent and service good. The pool is lovely and also overlooks the sea and town. The hotel is built near the top of the mountain and has... more

We came with a group of 30 people and we were well taken care of. The service was terrific as was the pool, the staff, and the views. The location is close to the town and the railway station-it makes life easy. more

We stayed over Easter for 3 nights. The staff were very attentive and welcoming. The food was excellent . Position was stunning especially the Restaurant and very convenient with a lift down to the town. more
