Hotel Dora is a short walk from the township of Levanto. The lady on the desk did not speak much english and came across quite abrupt. the parking over the road was free but small. The wifi did not work and it was difficult to make the lady on the desk understand the problem. the room was tiny with no... More

My wife and I were on our way from Monaco to Monterosso (Cinque Terre) in October. It was raining pretty heavily and as we were driving through Levanto we were told that the road to monterosso was washed out. The rain was so bad that we became stuck in our car for 5 hours. Knowing that we were not getting... More

Hotel Dora is a perfect place to stay if you want to visit the Cinque Terra but don't have reservations for the main five villages. A short train ride (or 3-hour hike) from Monterosso, it's a great little town. The hotel is located in the center of town, with free parking across the street. We were able to walk to... More

Hotel Dora was a great place to stay. Four of us stayed for 6 nights while we explored Cinque Terre and the Ligurian coast. The hotel staff were friendly and very helpful. The dinners at night were wonderful - we couldn't wait for 8.00 pm to come along! The rooms were of a 3 star standard with air con which... More

The town is gorgeous and well worth the visit. The hotel should be avoided at all costs unless you are looking to be treated in the most obnoxious manner possible. The parking lot across the street is a huge problem as it hods about 10 cars and you are usually blocked in making you ask the manager to move cars... More

This hotel is well situated: more or less mid-way between the train station and the town centre and an easy walk to both. Their car park just on the other side of the road is a definite advantage and my car stayed put for the duration. I stayed 5 nights on a B&B basis, apparently my room was upgraded so... More

The staff (restaurant & housekeeping) were very attentive and patient when it came to my limited Italian. The food was wonderful. The hotel and its' guests reminded me of an Italian Fawlty Towers. My only and greatest complaint was the way I was treated by the woman who ran/owned the place. She not only berated me on several occasions in... More

My friend and I took a road trip through Italy in August of 2004. After a few unsuccessful attempts of trying to drive into one of the Cinque Terre villages, we drove into Levanto. Upon arriving we spotted Hotel Dora, liked the looks of the place so went inside. We booked a room for three nights, the value was okay... More

Last November I planned a visit to Levanto for a week in March with a friend who is similarly interested in walking and learning Italian. When we arrived our hotel - on 13th March it was closed and in total darkness. This turned out to be our good fortune for when we inquired at the Hotel Dora (a three star... More
