Unfortunately, this hotel stop lasted a mere 14 hours. Our stay was both outstanding and awful. The view was fantastic (WOW!) which was enhanced with the balcony. The manager at check-in was particularly nice to us – since we have business associates in common. The room ((401) was worth the $98 I paid - without the view – except for... More

Wonderful views across the sea at sunset. Friendly staff. Some people on other sites complained about the breakfast. Not sure why, we had hot pastries, bread, eggs, cakes, cheese, tomatoes, cereal, fruit, juice, coffee, hot milk, tea. Strong showers, clean rooms. Close to the bus stop for camogli, Ruta etc. free wifi.

Very friendly staff, great location and a comfortable room with a clean modern bathroom for €80. And an excellent buffet breakfast for 2 included. We'll be back. I don't have time to say anymore but it seems reviews have to be over 200 characters. Very good hotel

My wife and I spent 3 nights in late August, 2012. Our whole experience there was pleasant from beginning to end. First before our arrival we communicated by email (and Skype) with very pleasant people, who were patient and helpful. When we arrived late in the evening, we found the hotel clean, and the night receptionist knowledgable and friendly. Our... More

We had planned 5 nights in Switzerland but drive down to Recco last minute. Hotel Elena was perfect. The staff was helpful - the breakfast plentiful and good - outdoor seating overlooking the water. Our room was clean and had a balcony with a perfect view. We were able to walk to shopping and restaurants. The Hotel even offered a... More

Hotel Elena can be seen from the promenade and has a lovely private beach slot itself with a small beach bar seconds from the warm water and dives form the peer. The... More

We spent five nights at Elena in July and were generally satisfied. Our room on the top floor overlooked the sea, breakfast was included and ample, we could even use the kitchen supplies outside of breakfast hours which was helpful as our room had a fridge and we made use of it to avoid some of the pricier local restaurants....

We stayed one night in May on our way to Elba. We arrived very late (after 23:00) and was still welcomed by a very friendly man at the front desk. Our room and bathroom were spacious, and staying in a corner room, our balcony was bigger than the other balconies. We slept with the balcony door open and woke up... More

What a wonderful little hotel. Recco is a gorgeous, quiet little town, the perfect place from which to base you visit to Portofino, the Cinque terre, and Riviera levante. The staff were so kind and helpful. The room was large and comfortable and clean. The views from the hotel are stunning. The breakfast was wonderful, and it was most enjoyable... More
