Overall Ratings & Reviews Grand Hotel Villa Balbi

Comfortable clean hotel nicely positioned Great pool area

This hotel is convenient- staff are excellent Great buffet breakfast It’s an old hotel with modern facilities

Beautiful hotel in beautiful grounds. Bedroom was large and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and served in the garden which was a real treat. The pool area is very well situated in the garden with plenty of recliners and gazebos. The hotel is situated across from the sea front and the hotel has its own private beach for which you have to pay extra (50 euros a day for 2 recliners and an umbrella, a bit steep in my opinion). The Main Street of Sestri L is just behind the hotel and has a great choice of bars and restaurants. I would highly recommend this hotel and am sure we will be back in the future

Beautifully spacious hotel. Breakfasts excellent in lovely outdoor restaurant area. Staff very helpful and polite, would definitely return

Excellent property and very friendly staff. Fine Breakfast.

Beautiful setting; hotel rooms very comfortable with great beds. Room maid service was excellent and front desk helped with scheduling drivers and any request.

Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was in a great central location and only minutes to the Bay of Silence and all the local restaurants. The room was comfortable, quite basic but had all we needed really. The shower was good and we had nice towels. We are used to staying in more modern hotels but this was more than adequate and made a nice change. The building is very beautiful. The breakfast was fairly simple but nice. We used the pool and that was lovely. The reception staff were helpful and friendly. The overall price was good compared to other hotels in the area. We would return if we visited Sestri again.

Public areas were attractive and breakfast was excellent. Our room, on the first floor, was dark with a view of the air conditioner. Be mindful of the room you book, and get.

Great location and great staff

A fabulous stay. A classy hotel in a perfect location. You get what you pay for. We hope to return next year.

The grandness and splendor of the interior and furnishings unbelievable. Great location.

This is a lovely character hotel with a great pool and gardens and an excellent breakfast. Sestri Levante is a wonderful place for a seaside holiday in Liguria with easy access to many beautiful places along the coast.

Very Quiet and relaxing experience. The staff are very organised and friendly. Hotel is very central.

The hotel was grand historic villa with beautiful architectural details. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. I especially enjoyed the outdoor garden dining and swimming pool.

Air con and shower not really up to scratch but the place is overall very relaxing

The rooms & bathrooms are a little old fashioned but I quite like that. It suits the building. For breakfast I would have liked to see more seasonal fruit like melon, nectarines, figs - otherwise it was pretty good.

Wonderful and historic hotel in an excellent location.

Lovely 4 days in the Sestri Levante, 5 Terre and Portofina area.

Really lovely hotel, a touch of the old world and very comfortable, just a little bit tired in places but spotless service and cleanliness

The only reason for 4 stars is the building is not new, but I had a really lovely stay and the staff were very helpful. Everything felt luxury except for the price. I especially appreciated the outdoor bar/cafe and the bountiful complimentary breakfast.
