I was quite positive surpriced by the interior of the hotel. the entrance looks like a normal housing blocks in small cities, but after a ramp of stair everything changes: hight ceilings, affrescos, old style fornitures also in the rooms. The people working there were nice once you get to talk to them, since I always experience a long solo... more

The only downside was the 200 Euro price...the rest was pure bliss and beauty. We read all of these negative reviews after booking the room, so we were a bit apprehensive going in. As soon as I walked in the staff made me feel at home. The room took my breath away! (#7 on the main level) The furniture was... more

Paid 4 star rates (240 euros with dinner) for 1 or, at best, 2 star accommodation. Room was noisy, promised internet service sporadic, and in general we had the feeling of being ``ripped off.'' Particularly poor were dinners, which we were forced to take. The food was mediocre and service slow. Almost any restaurant picked at random would have been... more

Accommodation in this area seems quite hard to find and is quite expensive. The nearby Cinque Terres walks are a world class attraction. This hotel had major problems (exact nature unclear) when we visited as a family before Easter. We were relocated in the Annex. I thought the hotel handled this well. The Annex is perfectly comfortable. We were informed... more

Stayed in the Stella Maris for three nights in August, We hoped it would be the finale of our two week holiday travelling around Italy. At 250 Euro per night (B&B including dinner) we expected great things..... Our room was the only one located on street level in the old part of the hotel making it very noisy day and... more

We stayed there for two nights at the end of our honeymoon. We weren't expecting a ton as it was rated as a two star hotel, but we LOVED it even more than other five start hotels we stayed at in Italy. The people were very friendly, the rooms was BEAUTIFULLY decorated - the bathrooms were nice and clean -... more

After staying in a many wonderful and charming hotels and B&Bs across Italy for almost a month, our visit came to a very sour finish at the Hotel Stella Maris in Levanto. Here briefly were the problems; Extremely noisy location on the main town route to the beach and central piazza with constant traffic including loud motorcycles at all hours... more

I cannot believe that this is listed as a four star hotel. The rooms are beautiful and large. However, the street is very noisy and the service is terrible. I was kept awake all night with the noise of the locals bringing their recycling to the bins right outside the window! The staff did little to make me feel at... more

We stayed at the Stella Maris in August last year. It is a beautiful old building with magnificent frescoed ceilings. We stayed in the old section, as opposed to the annexe which is not located in the main hotel. The rooms were big, clean and full of character. The staff were very friendly and helpful. more
