Hotels Near Parish of St. Julia in Santa Giulia

******DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Words can’t describe the experience we had here. I’ve travelled extensively and honestly NEVER ENCOUNTERED AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS. We were given an ATTIC ROOM WITH NO WINDOWS, a slanted roof that did not fit my 6 foot height and the entrance to which required a precarious walk along an unfinished walkway outside. None of this was disclosed when we booked this. They consider this a normal room in this hotel, it was not a discounted room, WE BELIEVED WE WERE BOOKING A NORMAL ROOM. The room alternated between sweltering hot due to it being the attic and freezing due to the AC blasting cold air into a tiny tiny room. When we checked in, we initially raised our concern with the front desk clerk and she apologized and assured us that they could move us rooms the following morning. The next morning, we came down to change rooms and were COMPLETELY GASLIGHTED BY THE STAFF. They first refused to change rooms, then they pivoted and wanted to shift us into a new room each morning so that we would have moved each day of our three night stay. All of these options, they insisted were going to cost us almost double the already OVERPRICED COST we had already paid through Booking. ThIS WAS NOT THE CRAZIEST PART. THE CRAZIEST PART was that the front desk clerk, Martino, kept saying that there was nothing he could do, that it was up to the manager. ALL THE WHILE, Andreoli, the manager, was sitting 5 feet behind him, refusing the speak to us. REFUSING! I kept asking if I could please speak with him directly, and he continued to refuse to talk with us, and Martino just kept saying that we should be interacting with him, but then claiming he, Martino, had no control, ‘because he is just a desk clerk.’ This was not a language issue, as I speak Italian and I heard Andreoli speaking perfect English. I have literally never encountering something like this in my life, where the manager is right there and refused to speak with us. IT WAS INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVE. When I raised the issue that the price they wanted to charge us for changing rooms was way over the standard price for the region, he said that Americans are wealthy and always willing to pay this cost because we earn so much more than Italians. If it were just a sub-par room, so be it. But I have never been treated this way while traveling, or been gaslighted in this way, Martino claiming that the desk clerk from last night who had offered us a room was wrong. Lastly, when we parked the car in their lot, they gave us a ride back to the hotel IN ANOTHER GUEST’S CAR! They lost our key in that car and now we are waiting for the hotel to take responsibility and get us our keys back. I REPEAT, DO NOT STAY HERE. We are still in a battle trying to get refunded from the rest of our stay, as after this crazy strange encounter and the way we were treated, WE DID NOT FEEL SAFE STAYING HERE.

The hotel is almost perfect and I recommend it. Located 10 minutes from the sea, in the historical centre. Purification and breakfast is unfair. Breakfast is wide (awareness also to allergic people) with excellent products. The only sin is the fixed presence of staff that watches the client: we arrive and in reception 5 people 1 girl check-in the others watch you; breakfast the oldest lady that watches you see what you take (He did it with anyone even putting himself next);the cleanerwoman (3rd floor) walks and watches you until you enter the room or reach the lift; and whoever accompanys you in garage stands to watch you ... nothing to hide but creates discomfort.

Pleasantly surprised at the beauty and convenience of this 4 star hotel that has been refurbished and is now boasting 5 stars and is part of the Small Luxury Hotel Collection. With the majority of the rooms being seafront you can enjoy a sweeping seafront view from within the room or on your balcony. Considering all the hotel sin Rapallo, if you are looking for the best view, I would recommend this hotel as the views are spectacular from your room, the terrace, the breakfast room, the pool and the Michelin recommended rooftop restaurant Le Cupole which I have no doubt will soon earn a Michelin star. And if a good spa is on your list of musts when vacationing, make sure to visit the spa that offers spa treatments in addition to many spa facilities for your relaxation. Located by a 10 minute scenic walk to town or with the hotel complimentary shuttle (by appointment)

Excellent Hotel! Amazing for the price. Location is perfect! 5 minute walk to the station, easy access to Cinque Terre. Room was spacious and clean, comfortable beds. Breakfast was the best free breakfast we had had on the trip! The staff were incredibly helpful, our car battery was dead and they luckily had jump cables and helped us get going again. Highly highly recommend this hotel!

This hotel was wonderful! Our extended family ranged in age from 8 to 92 and stayed for 9 nights in 6 beautiful rooms. The hotel is gorgeous, especially the pools and terraces along the sea. You access the beach club via an attached walkway/bride which was easy to navigate. The service at every point was prefect. We especially loved the Lord Byron restaurant and the Yacht Bar. I was a little afraid we would run out of things to do being there for 9 days, but we never did. We took the train to Cinque Terre (the pesto making class at Nessun Dorma was amazing!), short ferry rides to San Fruttuoso and Portofino, and short cab rides into Santa Margarita. Between those excursions, gorgeous pools and swimming in the ocean, we had plenty to do. Overall this hotel was outstanding!

The room was super nice! You can directly see the sea, and it is also close to the market, so it is very convenient to go anywhere. There are not many tourists in this small town, not as many as Genoa, very comfortable and peaceful, very, very recommended!

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.

We spent three nights at the hotel during our Italian holiday. The hotel is literally 5 minutes walking distance from the city center of Santa Margherita, a beautiful town in Liguria. The rooms are clean and spacious, ours had a privileged sea view that made it incredible. We only had breakfast at the hotel and the selection was very wide catering to any preference. The staff was extremely approachable and kind, catering to every need of ours. A big thank you for making our stay memorable!!!

What an amazing small luxury hotel. I strongly recommend this hotel, the decor is very well thought out and classy. My room was fairly small, but had everything we needed, everything worked just fine, the bed was super comfortable, the dyson hair dryer a great surprise. The sauna and steam room were also very relaxing. Breakfast had plenty of cold and hot selections and all was of great fresh quality. All in all a wonderful stay and we will certainly be back, but what really stood out is its staff. They are all so friendly while maintaining high professional standards. Grazie mille a Riccardo che ci ha scorrazzato tra Portofino e Paraggi, a Nicola che parcheggia come un mago e a tutti alla reception. Grazie e a presto!
