About Grand Hotel Villa Balbi

This charming hotel, Grand Hotel Villa Balbi, is located in Sestri Levante, Liguria, a perfect starting point for boat trips and hikes. Steeped in history, the villa was chosen by the Doges of Genoa as the site for this sophisticated aristocratic residence, surrounded by a luxurious park.

In the mid-19th century, it was inherited by the noble Balbi family, giving the villa its current name. The hotel offers 105 rooms, including the distinguished 'Cardinal Brignole' suite, featuring a unique Throne Room. Guests enjoy a 24-hour reception and on-site parking, though additional fees may apply for some services.

Cots are not available.

Really amazing setting in historic Sestri Levante. This is a gem with a very Italian clientele and it should be respected as such. The location including both a private beach and a really nice, large swimming pool was perfect. Also a highlight was proximity (<10 min walking) to the ferry/traghetto landing to board for San Fruttuoso and Portofino. Breakfast was top notch and the parking lot made for a simple in and out for our brief one night stay. Wish we would've stayed at least two days! Staff was super attentive and capable with English language as needed.

When we arrived they advised our dinner reservations were cancelled because a large wedding party had booked the restaurant. We had booked this months in advance.The door knob fell off the door and we could not lock our room. The shower hose came loose from the wall and sprayed water every where. The wedding party band kept us up til midnight. Room service breakfast arrived cold.The hotel is beautiful but not a good experience.

Beautiful hotel in beautiful grounds. Bedroom was large and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and served in the garden which was a real treat. The pool area is very well situated in the garden with plenty of recliners and gazebos. The hotel is situated across from the sea front and the hotel has its own private beach for which you have to pay extra (50 euros a day for 2 recliners and an umbrella, a bit steep in my opinion). The Main Street of Sestri L is just behind the hotel and has a great choice of bars and restaurants. I would highly recommend this hotel and am sure we will be back in the future

Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was in a great central location and only minutes to the Bay of Silence and all the local restaurants. The room was comfortable, quite basic but had all we needed really. The shower was good and we had nice towels. We are used to staying in more modern hotels but this was more than adequate and made a nice change. The building is very beautiful. The breakfast was fairly simple but nice. We used the pool and that was lovely. The reception staff were helpful and friendly. The overall price was good compared to other hotels in the area. We would return if we visited Sestri again.

A Downton Abbey experience!

The hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff was professional, friendly, and hospitable. While a bit dated it is refreshingly elegant. Sometimes it seemed like a
‘ Downton Abbey experience. Breakfast was quite lovely. I would love to return to this hotel!

This hotel was a short ride from Cinque Terre and was our home base for a week in Sept. We fell in love with Sestri Levante along the way and the hotel was central and convenient to everything this amazing town had to offer. Wonderful staff and beautiful historic hotel. Beach across the street. A gem.

Stayed for 3 nights of which 2 days the hotel did not have WiFi service for some technical reasons. This caused multiple problems with some work I had to do. Air conditioner did not work well in our room. First 2 nights did not operate. Very sticky sleep. Last night, suddenly it began working. Considering we were in a suite and the historical prestige of the property, overall, this was a major disappointment. This was our second stay in this hotel and certainly the last!

The hotel is one of the classic hotels in all of Italy. It combines old-world beauty and history with charm and a true art of service. Sestri is one of the great secrets of Italy and the Villa Balbi is the best hotel in Sestri. Aside from the great location and amenities, the service at the desk is world-class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The building is old and the air condition did not work well in all 3 rooms we reserved. We had to change to smaller rooms where the air condition can work.
However the hotel was very convenient to everything and was very nice. I would have a second thought of returning because of air condition.
We also had door lock problem twice

Great if you like history and good service

Very good hotel. 300 years old Villa (Big estate building) that was turned into a hotel in 1947. Tall curved ceilings with arches in the lobby and lots of antiques around the common areas. Service was exellent. Restaurant staff were very service minded and remembered the personal preferences for coffee etc. for the next day. Very good quality breakfast buffet. Was upgraded to a very big 40 m2 room from the standard room I booked. Great central location next to the walking street and just across from the beach....parking at the back of the hotel.

Super centre

Charming hotel.
Highly efficient reception staff.
Exceptionally friendly dining room.
Beautifully clean bedroom and bathroom.
Sestri Levante proved to be a lovely base for our nine night holiday. Centrally located for short train journeys to Santa Margherita Ligure and Camogli, bus trip to Vasari Ligure and boat trip to Quinque Terre. The station is a ten minute stroll away.
There are two bays - the Bay of Silence has free access to the beach and the Bay of Fables has free access but has many typically Italian sections where you have to pay. The hotel has a lovely pool - but be aware of the occasional mosquito.

Old Italian Charm

We love staying in these 'Grand Hotels' when in Italy where you can feel the old world charm of days gone by. The Villa is set in a beautiful garden and the main building which we were put in feels more like a palazzo. All the staff were super helpful and we felt very much at home. We would particularly like to mention the head waiter Francesco who made sure we were taken care of.

Villa Balbi.

Villa Balbi is ideally located on the sea front in the small but lively town of Sestri Levante on the Ligurian coast of Italy. It is very convenient for travelling to the Cinque Terre, Portofino, Camogli and other beautiful Italian villages.The villa retains much of its original art and decor. Our room was very large, clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The staff at reception were very welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast in the restaurant was very good.

Beautiful hotel but looking a little tired

The last time I stayed at the Villa Balbi was 10 years ago and nothing had changed. Although the foyer is as beautiful as ever but the rest of the hotel was looking a little tired. The room was very small but perfectly fine in every other way and the bathroom was very clean and functional.
The location, across the road from the beach, is excellent and the garden and pool are a great option if you don't like the beach. It may have been nice to have some waiter service at the pool and when we did order drinks at the bar and ask for them to be brought to the pool with some snacks, we were only brought a bowl of stale crisps - I don't think that was up to the standard of the rest of the hotel service.
I was most disappointed when breakfast could not be served outside in the gardens due to the weather because this had been one of my best memories from my previous stay. The food at breakfast was plentiful, a good selection and laid out beautifully.

not worth the money

The hotel is beautiful but we booked a room for 3 people and the beds, especially the extra bed, were not comfortable at all. In addition, although we had a beautiful view, it was impossible to leave windows open at night due to mosquitoes. We had to complain various times to have AC because it cannot be accessed from each individual room. It has to be given by the hotel on a piecemeal basis. The staff was wonderful - friendly, knowledgeable. We were allowed to stay pool side and given towels even after we checked out.

great place

This was a great hotel in a perfect location. The rooms were comfortable and, apart from one day, kept clean. Reception staff were courteous and helpful - always with a smile on their faces. Breakfast was good, but the service in the restaurant in the morning was poor and the attitude of the waiters was surly and abrupt. In addition the breakfast items were often not replenished. This was a shame as it let down the overall satisfaction in the hotel. Overall I would recommend people stay at this hotel - the breakfast issue is not as important as the comfort and location.
