Well I had no difficulty at all in finding it - I got the hotel to send a taxi to meet me off the ferry! The hotel's on Montenero, which is a few miles outside central Livorno, but means there is a fabulous view. (I imagine in summer it also means it's slightly cooler, with a breeze.) The hotel building... More

We stayed here one night having arrived on the ferry in Livorno. We would have been there in 15 minutes from disembarkation if we could have found the hotel - it was dark by the time we were trying. My tip here is, once you find the signs, stay strong and keep going up the hill EVEN when you think... More

I would echo the same comment as some other reviews and definitely get directions. This hotel is VERY hard to find. Our agent copied the description from the hotel of "enchanting panorama and view of the sea". However, we had a very small window with no view and the sea is miles away.

We booked this hotel based on TA reviews, and have to say that we're not quite sure what the fuss is about.

After finding the hotel which was a bit tricky we were thrilled with the room, the views, and the quiet. The staff were helpful and everything was of an excellent standard. We stayed for 3 nights and it was a beautiful escape after the pace of Rome. And the foreshore cafes of Livorno are only a few minutes away ...... More

The staff were courteous, considerate and most helpful. The room was in immaculate condition and very comfortable. The facilities at the hotel are good; in particular there is a fine terrace overlooking the... More

My 2 sons, 7 and 14, and I stayed for 4 nights in one of the superior rooms. It had a great view! It was clean, spacious and well cared for. The front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful. You must visit the Sanctuary while you are there and there are several resturaunts within walking distance. Need a work... More

My husband and I and our two teenagers stayed for one night in this small hotel. We had a double and a twin room which were called the standard rooms. They were nicely furnished and a reasonable size, although the walls were a little bare of any mirrors or paintings. They had air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms which were a... More
