Grand Hotel Da Vinci

We visited the hotel in September 2025, the room was beautiful in Versace design, excellent cuisine. What I disliked is that the hotel does not have its own parking lot, in the heat with carports or an underground garage. They only have a parking area behind the hotel whose surface is made of white gravel, so it gets incredibly dusty the cars have white tires and the suitcase wheels are messy. If you were to expect some livery at a five-star hotel to help you with your luggage, then by no means. You have to go through the back entrance like a thief and carry everything yourself. The biggest disappointment for us was when the hotel manager told us at lunch that he no longer had the current room for us for the last night and offered us their subsidiary hotel in a city 15 km away as a replacement without the slightest compensation. This is what happened to my colleagues from the other 3 rooms, when some of them, who were on a trip during the day, had their things packed into suitcases, left them at the reception and basically thrown out of the hotel room. They then came to their room unsuspectingly and there were complete strangers there. I will not return to this hotel. They do not respect their clients. It is a disgrace.

Absolutely wonderful hotel, from the amazing reception staff, the stunning pool area,the suite we stayed in was unbelievable for the price , and the town itself is is charming, the staff made us feel so welcome I would highly recommend

What a beautiful hotel – truly 5-star service from start to finish. From the stunning decor to the friendly and professional staff, everything exceeded expectations. The food was exceptional – every meal felt like fine dining. I was honestly surprised to read some of the negative reviews, as I've stayed in many 5-star hotels, and this is genuinely one of the best. I’ll definitely be returning next year with my whole family. If you appreciate elegance, quality service, and a touch of luxury, this hotel is perfect for you.

As a well travelled guy around the world, I’ve experienced many 5 star hotels including Dubai, but this is by far my favourite of them all!! As I came here to write this review I was nosey enough to wisher how other people’s experiences. And I’m shocked to read some reviews and I can only assume that they MUST be spam or a bitter competitor locally. Because I cannot fault a single thing from the grand hotel Da Vinci The staff were impeccable, from their politeness, professionally well dressed and how attentive they were. I stayed in a room which took my breath away upon entering, Versace bathroom tiles and above the bed. A real fine touch of which I’ve not seen before in any hotel. Well sized bathroom and impressively sized bedroom. Probably the best nights sleep I’ve had in a very comfortable bed too. Some of the comments I think are spam mention issues with the pool tiles. No no and no again. The pool was perfectly kept. Not a single fault. They even had a bottom hoover type cleaner going around over night to maintain its perfection The surrounding gardens in the pool area and throughout the hotel were faultless too. If you want 5 star Italian dining then look no further. Not only is the breakfast buffet one of the most superior I’ve had. The evening dining service was amazing. Mouth watering menu choice and perfectly delivered. Take a 30 second walk from the rear exit behind the pool and you’re dining at ‘La Spaggia’ restaurant located on its private beach area which is idyllic in the evenings La spaggia also has lunchtime offerings after a morning on the beach. As mentioned it’s a private beach area, which unlike most sun loungers in Italy is very well spaced giving you a relaxing beach experience I can’t wait to return to the area because the town of Cesenatico is beautiful too. Only a 5-10 minute walk up the harbour and you have a great selection of boutique shops and waterside restaurants. Great for both daytime and evenings. 5/5 stars - and I have already booked for July 2026! See you again soon :)
