Bedroom was immaculate but dull - view however was stunning. Breakfast very disappointing both in quality of food and lack of interest from the waiters. Hotel is well positioned for exploring the town and has many restaurants nearby. Could hear the baby in the suite next door all night. Wouldn't return but if they did a bit of work it... More

(rate may vary from 100 to 400 depending from where you find that, like websites and so on). If you pay 400 or 300 euro, you don't get a good value) Goods: - gardens and location - the nice villa at the entrance (hotel rooms are in another building) Bads: - room was small - no sound isolation, you hear...

Rooms were pretty small and bathroom a bit old fashioned. Breakfast was included but no choice and very bad quality. Swimming pool is nice and relaxing and service at the pool was excellent. All together an average hotel for a sky rocket price

Stayed 6 nights at this peaceful and very comfortable hotel where the staff are really lovely. The location is fantastic - right on the sea front and close to the town centre. Breakfasts were delicious and served outside on the terrace surrounded by ancient trees set in the pretty gardens. The rooms are well furnished and have wonderful views of... More

Spend two nights at Villa Balbi. We went there for 10 years and all the time we find excellence both with congress service and for... More

I was in this great hotel in the summer 2011. Located in one of the most breath taking place in the world, sestri levante, the hotel puts together confort and class without being snobby and too modern. A park, a nice pool, the walking distance to the beach and the town center does the rest. Few km away you find... More

I start saying I am Italian despite I am leaving as expect since may years. I know very well Sestri Levante and the Villa Balbi, I started to be a guest since I was 5 years old! The old villa and the reception/entrance has a lot of charm, unfortunately this is not for the rooms, because most of them are... More

We've just returned from 14 days staying half board at the Hotel Villa Balbi and we were very impressed with the standards of service, accommodation and food. All the staff worked hard to make our stay enjoyable and problem free, particularly in reception and the dining room. We lost a jacket on the airport bus and the reception team called... More

The hotel is located close to the beach, the park in the back is nice, the old villa atmosphere is charming, our room in the old villa was large, classically furnished and really worth the money. Parking is reasonably safe. The hotel is frequented by tourist groups, the breakfast is modest and hectic. The entrance/service at the private hotel beach... More

Stayed here for a weekend in july 2011. Room was nice, with air-condition, and a decent looking bathroom. This room had a sea view over the northern beach, which was very nice. Service in the hotel was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice, with fresh fruit, meat, cheeses, and decent coffee.
