Fabulous views and old world charm

The hotel was quaint and charming, and the staff a perfect mixture of friendly and accommodating. The views of the surroundings were magnificent and the restaurant was very good. The place is not fancy or modern but worth the effort to get there.

Old World Charm

I can’t say enough about the kind, accommodating and wonderful people that keep this place in excellent condition. The food is delicious, but make a reservation for a spectacular view. It’s an old world charm kinda vibe.. If you are looking for a place to chill & relax - I highly recommend this lil dive..!

A bit off the beaten path but the views were stunning, the room was spacious, the service was outstanding, and breakfast was solid too. Yes this is an older property that could use a refresh, but for the money it can’t be beat. Note the map on Apple didn’t take us all the way to the property but there are signs along the way so keep driving - gated entry to parking right off the street near the top of the hill - can’t miss it.

The hotel is like a page from the history books! So unique and rich with character. The woman at the front desk was so friendly and incredibly helpful in pointing us in the direction of so many interesting and beautiful sites. It’s out of the main town area but easily accessible by taxi and the view is spectacular and worth the drive. staff were gracious and welcoming.

En perle

Charmerende, hyggeligt, autentisk. Fantastisk udsigt, dog lidt lille, smal vej op til hotellet, men det vænner man sig til. Virkelig søde mennesker og alt hvad man har behov for på en afslappede ferie. Perfekt poolområde, god restaurant og morgenmad. Nemt at tage på dagsture fx til Menton og Monaco og flotte strande under 10 min væk.

This hotel has the most amazing views. We had the family suite which was spacious and great for our family. The restaurant was good for dinner. I would contact the hotel before you arrive to find the best way up the hill. Our navigation took us up the steepest, narrowest way and it was a bit harrowing.

Ein wahrhaft magischer Ort. Aus der Zeit gefallen und dennoch - nein, gerade deswegen, so schön! Alain Delon Style. Bitte immer so bewahren! Der Blick hinab, das Essen dabei sensationell gut (für meinen Geschmack der einzige Kritikpunkt: zu teuer) - mehr braucht man nicht. Pool Top, Emilio beim Frühstück der Beste.

Skøn tidslomme. Værelse med perfekt udsigt til vandet. Vejen dertil er dog noget besværlig. Restaurant ok. Det ville være rart med hynder til solvogne, så man ikke skal ligge direkte på den hårde plastic solvogn. Vil absolut tage dertil igen.

4 night stay

Service was good, be mindful this hotel is at the top of what is essentially a mountain. The drive up and down is actually scary to the point of wanting to avoid coming and going from the hotel. However There are no shops or restaurants within walking distance of the hotel therefore it can feel a bit isolating. Taxis are £25 euro each way into the local town. The food and drinks at the hotel is expensive and you will be charged 5 euro for a bottle of water which seems crazy and roughly 8/9 euros for a class of wine. The breakfast was lovely, lots of options and service was very good. The main attraction to this hotel is the view which is stunning. The pool area is also very nice and clean. It is overall pretty expensive but you are paying for the view. It is a family run establishment and the staff are always friendly and accommodating. We read the previous comments about the drive up to the hotel before booking but really could not appreciate just how unpleasant this was until we had to do it ourselves and how restrictive it made our stay. Overall nice hotel if you can stomach the drive. Pretty expensive. The mattress was also pretty hard and uncomfortable but got used to it after a few nights.

Très belle endroit

Très bon Acceuil une belle bâtisse avec beaucoup de caractère dans un très beau cadre une belle vue sur Ventimiglia Le personnel est vraiment serviables un petit déjeuner très copieux il est dommage que la météo n était pas au rendez-vous pour profiter de la piscine et de la terrasse Le côté négatif est l accès un chemin très étroit où il faut anticiper car par endroits il est impossible de se croiser Et les moustiques eux étaient au rendez-vous
