“We had such a wonderful stay at the hotel. Our check in experience was warm and professional, and our suite was absolutely beautiful...with the most gorgeous view and two balconies. We enjoyed delicious cocktails in the garden, and wonderful breakfasts there in the mornings. The location of the hotel is wonderful, and I loved the feel of it as well as that of San Remo....I really felt like I was in an Italian resort area with Italians.”

testimonials
“Everyone at the front desk, pool, bar, and restaurants have been quite lovely and have been exceeding our expectations. Just this morning, my wife - who is pregnant - was craving pancakes. Even though they aren’t on the room service menu, the kitchen staff managed to make them for her. What a wonderful way to treat a guest! We can’t say enough about how lovely our stay has been.”
