Hotels Near Villa Serra in Nervi

Stayed for one week. Sea view room with balcony - a must! Fantastic breakfast - nothing is too much trouble for the staff. You ask for it and they will most probably be able to make it. Beach club area is fantastic - seaside beds with access to sea as well as two infinity pools. We did not use the spa facilities. Shout out to Francesco one of the porters, he was so helpful - not just with our luggage but with restaurant recommendations as well as local things to do. And always with a lovely smile and cheery hello. Twice daily room service. Huge comfy bed. What’s not to like about this place. We would return.

I’ve been staying in 5 star hotels since I first checked in to the Crillon in Paris in 1970 and the Meliá in Genoa is one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. Elegant decor, very comfortable and above all smiling and very efficient service. A particular thanks to Francesca, who went over and beyond a guest relations manager’s duty to organise perfect accommodation.

We arrived at late night after a long trip, and we have been welcomed from a really sweet guy who helped us to park our car ,and also offered us a beer .. the room was clean and spacious,the hotel is new and has a stylus and smart concept... we had to stay only 1 night but we extend 1 more nite in order to rest and relax before going back home.. the day after we met elder who seems to be the manager who gave us so many informations on what to see in genova and where to eat proper Italian food .. we felt like home,it wasn’t expected,such a great surprise at the end of our road trip through Europe.. definitely recommended .. we will stay again if we will ever come back to genova.. thanks guys

Most people visit Portofino by ferryboat from Santa Margharita. They may stay for lunch or early dinner and then go back to their hotels away from Portofino. If you desire to experience Portofino at night it is best to stay overnight in one of the few hotels on location. In the evening the place quiets down and reveals its true charm. Fewer people patronize the restaurants. The ambience is truly extraordinary. We originally had booked a room at the Eight Hotel in Paraggi. Unfortunately, when we arrived there was only one room left and with our luggage it turned out to be too small for comfort. When we brought up the dilemma to the reception clerk we were immediately contacted by the hotel director, Christian. He offered us a bigger room at their sister hotel in Portofino at no additional conditions. He volunteered to have us taken there by a company clerk in their own limo - a rare, old Fiat 500 with two passenger rows. When we got there he had already moved there himself in order to be able to welcome us personally and to show us around the small, but intimate hotel. What a service! p.s. the hotel only serves breakfast, but is more than happy to refer you to the local restaurant scene.

The outside of the building is a ”fine example” of 1980's architecture, i.e. grim! Our room was on the first floor, level with some ”feature” triangles in the roof, which served no purpose at all other than to spoil the view of the harbour! Upon entering reception the feel is very opulent. The reception staff were not particularly welcoming...but we were checking in around 10pm (that being the time our flight had landed). We were rather hoping for some food, but the kirchen closed at 10pm, so all we were offered was a ”Cheese Toastie” (which, although very welcoming, did rather strike me that the Hotel was not ”in tune” with flight times and the potential for guests to be checking in and not wanting to have to find a restaurant outside the hotel at that time of the night! The room was large, but had the air of a Hotel Room which had seen nearly 40 years of good servbice, wtihout a great deal of care and attention taken to its upkeep. For example, the built-in wardrobe/cupboard door did not open properly, there was a large scratch on the ”feature” wood panelling around the room and the tile grouting in the shower was black with mould in places. BUT...on the plus side, the air-conditioning worked...and was not too noisey, the room was big enough for the two of us. The bed was large (albeit a big ”squishy” for my liking and there was a kettle/coffee pod machine so we could make our own drinks. We were there for 5 nights, so it is important - in my book - that if you're payng those kind of prices that the room is perfect...It wasn't really perfect. Similarly, because of its location right next door to the Aquarium, there were a large number of small children there, obviously from rich families who were not massively adept at controlling them. We never ate uin the restaurant in the evening, but did take our drinks onto the terrace one evening, where lots of diners had booked a table outside. A famly with three children under 5 then arrived and they continued to scream, run about the place and generally make a relaxzing space very VERY stressful. We took our drinks inside and I happened to comment in my best(?) Italian that the children were beng too noisey...some minutes later the family came inside...and I thought we were going to ahve to move again, but they went out of the hotel altogether! Unfortunately, we were not able to move so quickly the next morning at breakfast, where there was the same family creating havoc in the breakfast area! Next time we will ahve to fnd a hotel which is ”Adults Only”...Being a father of two (now grown-up) children, we were constantly on alert so that our kids didn'6t cause disruption to anyone else around us...That - however - doesn't seem to be the ”European way”! Location-wise was amazing, right on the harbour quaryside. The double-glazing did an amazing job of blanking out the ”city noise” from the elevated road and the late-night revellers in the myriad of cafes and bars on the old har

This hotel lies north of Genoa city. Approximately 15-20 minutes of a boredom drive through the gutters of the city. A nice surprise when you see the hotel coming up uphill. Nice and convenient parking behind the hotel. The staff is very very friendly. Check-in' went quick. Elevators are slow. Wi-Fi is adequate. Room coverage is ok. The room itself is clean, basic+ and small-medium sized. Bed is ok, but I think the matrasses could be replaced. There is a modern and spacious gym in the hotel with great Technogym equipment. The breakfast is good to perfect and the staff serving and maintaining it is the best I had since a long time. I had a wonderful (business) stay at this hotel and will return. The even have electric car chargers, which is a plus!

If going to Genoa, this is a great place to be as it is directly outside the Brignole train station. Easy to get around as the metro is Free to use from 1000-1600 and 2000-2200. Do be aware this is not the Principal train station. Great restaurants all around. Short walk to MOG market . Best bed we had in Italy. Most were VERY frim, here the bed was soft and welcoming. Lots of pillows. Only down side was shower drain was slow and we flooded the bathroom the last day. They had this weird painted shower liner that was cracked but really didn't affect things other than how it looked. The breakfast was available and they had a lot of American style buffet as well as a mix of typical Italian breakfast. Great cappuccino. Also cute cafe right outside main door. ＜ 7 euros for 2 cappuccinos and 3 pastries.

The staff were all fantastic and very helpful at dealing with our requests, helping us book taxis etc. The room was clean and pleasant with a nice bathroom and shower, the continental breakfast buffet was great and the views from the pool were great. The booking system for the pool meant you had a guaranteed slot but could only use it once a day. It is a shame that it costs so much money to use the beach, particularly paying $50 for two sunbeds when there's only one of you. I would happily stay again if you could use the private beach for free as a guest.
