Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Liguria

My fiancé and I had a truly lovely experience at the spa in Hotel Continental. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcomed: the atmosphere was calm, the staff attentive, and the whole experience was thoughtfully managed. One detail that meant a lot to us: they kindly allowed us to bring our baby into the pool during a quieter time, free of charge. It was a simple gesture, but it made a big difference and allowed us to enjoy the spa together without any stress. We also booked two massages during our visit, and both were excellent: deeply relaxing, skillfully done, and tailored to exactly what we needed. A special thanks to Valentina, the spa manager, who is not only professional and organized but also warm, approachable, and clearly passionate about what she does. She’s put together a fantastic team — everyone we encountered was friendly, respectful, and genuinely attentive. The spa itself is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and designed for real relaxation. But what made the experience stand out was the level of care and thoughtfulness from the people running it. Highly recommended : we left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and truly looked after. :)

Our stay at Hotel Continental was absolutely outstanding. We were fortunate to stay on the third floor with an incredible large balcony with a beautiful view. The hotel is beautiful. The grounds, the pool, the cleanliness and the customer service is exemplary. I cannot say enough how amazing this hotel is. Will definitely be back on my next trip to the Italian Riviera

Location, beautiful hotel, cleanness, friendly staff, restaurant was amazing and very friendly staff, the spa pool was amazing, sunbathing area had a lot of steps but worth it, bar was very relaxing and great service, helped with taxi service to the train station

This hotel is more than fabulous! Our terrace view was spectacular. The gardens and sea pool area was immaculate. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was delicious, as was dinner.

The grounds are stunning. The rooms are great and our view was exceptional. The restaurant is excellent as is the dining by by the pool.

This was a first-class stay in every way possible. The staff was so nice and welcoming, the food in the restaurant was superb, the pool was fantastic (we received a free upgrade and had a private pool, but the regular pool was gorgeous too,) amazing views, excellent AC, comfortable beds, everything was really sensational! We can’t wait to return.

Large, spacious and clean rooms with amazing view over the bay of the poets. The pool area was a great place to relax after exploring the local area.

The hotel was lovely and clean. The staff were very friendly. Great breakfast in the morning! Pool facilities were good too.

Great views from an exceptionally modern and comfortable room. Its a shame there are no facilities for lunch/bar/drinks around the pool area, you really need to take the bus to the village/harbour area for lunch or take the 200 or so steps down but you really dont want to walk back up!

Wonderful position of hotel! The views from our room were amazing . Lovely balcony . Excellent food in restaurant but limited choice. Nice pool . Room always cleaned promptly and well.

Everything was amazing from the pool to the hostesses. They took care of us like my own family would . We will definitely miss them and the gorgeous villa . We’ll be back :))

Gorgeous, charming property, with warm welcome and beautiful gardens and stunning views. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return with time to swim. Best breakfast ever! Rose room was so well appointed. A very special house!

Nice villa with an amazing look but kinda far from the city center, you can walk it but you gotta be in good shape.

Amazing view, great balcony, clean, comfortable, excellent breakfast

Great location with a superb view on the Mediterranean Sea and French Riviera (from Menton to Monte Carlo and up to Nice). Very clean and large room and bathroom. We stayed in the "La Dolce Vita" room (the red room): we did not care much for the jacuzzi, but we believe it is the room with the best view from the balcony and even from the shower. Friendly and very accommodating staff. Good location close to freeway exit and city center. We stayed just one night, but we would recommend enjoying the property for a couple of days. Overall, very quiet, although it's a residential villa and much depends on other guest's behavior.

A wonderful place to stay! It's a lovely building, beautifully and tastefully restored by the host. The facilities, furnishings and decor are of a very high standard, including an amazing swimming pool and pool house. The host, Emanuel, is warm, friendly and so helpful - nothing was too much trouble. He really went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Communication was very quick and clear. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and high quality foods on offer.

Our stay at the hotel was delightful from start to finish. Emanuel, our wonderful host, welcomed us warmly and provided an excellent tour of the premises. The breakfast was superb, served in a beautifully adorned room that captured the essence of Italian style. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel grounds, which were exquisite, especially the coffee on the rooftop terrace and sunbathing by the gently heated pool. The evening visits to the sauna were also a fantastic experience. Conveniently located, the hotel allowed us easy access to explore nearby attractions by car, including Portofino and Monaco. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Emanuel for making our stay truly memorable.

Breakfast was exceptional; our host prepared fresh organic egg omelets for us each morning and there was always fresh pastries (homemade pies, tarts, breads). The design and architecture is very well thought out - it has an authentic Italian villa feel but with modern facilities like the bathrooms, spa and pool. Perfect and safe place to vacation with young children. Best part though was the host - we travel a lot and have stayed in many different types of accommodations around the world - Emanuel was incredible. I would come back here in a heart beat.

We loved the beautiful place itself, charming buildings, stylish pool, the kind host, the landscape and places to visist around, great restaurant nearby, proximity to the seaside and a feeling of Italian countryside without tons of tourists (but we were also out of season). Great family holiday! We will be back ! Thank you Emmanuele!

Everything!!! The rooms, the pool, the breakfast and above all Emmanuel is just the nicest, most thoughtful host you could wish for. We absolutely loved every minute of our stay

This place is AWESOME! Do not hesitate and book it right away! The pictures do not do justice of beauty of the view You'll have in this villa, the view is STUNNING! The house itself is new, super comfortable, great layout and very well equipped. Bedrooms have mattresses of great quality, as well as the linens. The feel is like You're staying in 5 star hotel, but with total privacy! The pool area is so nice to chill out, swim and enjoy the view, our kids never wanted to leave :) Location is superb to explore Cinque Terre + everything else beautiful this area has to offer. Matteo himself is one of the best hosts we have met in our numerous travels, super responsive and helpful in every way! Special thanks for everything!

We had a great week in Colori di Mare. The photos really don't do the property justice. The house feels really new and is stylishly decorated and everything is spotlessly clean. Special mention for the very comfy beds! Outside, the view over the bay is amazing and the pool is a really good size and is perfect for a cool down during warm weather. Matteo gave our stay an extra special touch, with his mini van, he takes the stress away from thinking about parking for day trips or quick messages to the shop. He has lots of tips and advice with things to do and even left some fresh tomatoes & zucchinis from his garden! A wonderful location for a family holiday - we had a great time!!

Wonderful experience!!! Matteo picked us up at the station with his minibus and drove us to the villa. The place is amazing, clean, and includes all comforts. Chilling in the pool was great with a fantastic view even if the weather was not the best. The owner is a very nice guy, always willing to help and the free minibus service to visit the town of Lerici was the cherry on the cake. The bed was very comfortable with double pillows. Fast wi-fi.

While there are not many reviews here yet, since the villa was built quite recently, I want to leave my review so that future guests have fewer doubts when booking it. Even though the photos of the villa look like very good design renderings, they accurately reflect what the villa is. It has literally everything you can dream of. Every time the thought arose that it would be nice to use this or that device, it was immediately found - an ice maker, a wine refrigerator (not empty 😉), a steamer and much, much more. I'm not even talking about the fantastic view of the Gulf of Poets from the villa. The attitude of the owner of the villa, Matteo, deserves special attention. He not only booked lunch for our entire family in a nearby restaurant as an apology for a later arrival than we originally planned, but also drove and picked us up from the nearby villages every day, since it is simply impossible to park your car there. And at the end of our stay, he took us to a local winery for a tasting of very good wine. For anyone who has doubts, I suggest you cast them aside and spend unforgettable days at the villa. Thank you, Matteo, for a wonderful holiday!

Beautiful brand new property with incredible views.

Excellent location with a fantastic view over the ocean. Paolo is a very kind host who is always available for service, questions and tips about good places to go to. The house is very well equipped and the beach is a 5 minute walk away. We made a couple of trips by train, train station also 5 minute walk. We really enjoyed our stay a lot!!

We had such a great time during our stay - outstanding was the host. Honestly, we never ever experienced such a kindness before. It was incredible and made the whole week so relaxing, knowing: if we would need anything, the host would come by in a minute.

You can't find a better place for a family holiday. The place is located near the cinque terre - about 20 minutes by car. The villa is beautiful, it looks better than the posted pictures and is very well equipped (everything you need for a great holiday). The owners Paola and Roberto are the most hospitable couple I've ever met and they are always willing to help and fulfill even unusual requests (e.g. a great dinner prepared by the chef for the whole group). I felt like in second home the entire time I was there.

A special location with everything you need. Strategically located and easy to admire and visit the wonderful Cinque Terre area. to feel at home and still be on vacation, I recommend this villa for groups and families

The house is spacious, clean and well maintained, newly renovated and perfect for families. The garden is nice and the jacuzzi and brassero grill was a great addition to our trip as we enjoyed it very much. The drive up to the property is gorgeous so i advise to arrive during daytime to appreciate it more. The owner is extra nice too and helpful! Definitely would be back.

The Villa is great. Lots of space for everyone, very large and nice pool.

Newly renovated stone villa. You can smell the scent again. Extremely clean. In addition to towels, all guests are also provided with soft bathrobes that are very comfortable for the pool. I really enjoyed swimming in the pool admiring the sea and then wrapping myself in a white bathrobe and being able to stay like that for hours. The comfort of a 5-star hotel and the privacy of an isolated villa. We appreciated the high quality cotton sheets, the soft linen and the extreme cleanliness. Very refined furnishings and some works of art differentiate this villa from other often aseptic luxury homes. The villa is a country house not a loft in New York so you have to accept a few insects, a couple of oleander flowers fallen in the garden and some earth on the street but the quiet you will breathe here is spectacular. We live in the city with the trams rattling all night under the house and this place, the scent of the sea, the swimming pool, the view, has bewitched us: Privacy, sea view and a splendid typical village, olive trees and silence all around, which peace! We didn't leave the house. We had dinner and groceries delivered and didn't want to go back to the chaos of the waterfront. 3 suggestive and particular rooms. Large bathrooms with large showers. Outdoor solar shower Spectacular BBQ. Huge rooftop solarium

Great villa with an amazing view over the village and the sea. We had a fantastic weekend in this lovely home. The host is very friendly and helpful, we had a great communication and found very easily the house. The house is very comfortable with a lovely decoration. We loved the garden, the pool, the BBQ and the terrace on the roof. We also enjoyed the fact that we could park ours cars for free on the PAM supermarket so we could go to the beach and go biking on the seaside. I would recommend to everyone to come here and we will for sure come back.

The villa was beautiful and clean, with a lovely pool perfect for daily relaxation. We really appreciated having a private parking spot near the beach. It made our beach trips much easier and stress-free. Overall, a very pleasant stay, we’d be happy to come back.

Absolutely wonderful villa in a remote location with amazing views over the sea and wonderful interior and pool

Great view and location! Very friendly and helpfull hosts

Location! Nice view! Nice pool! Nice restaurant in the village 300 m away.

We loved our stay! Great facility’s in an amazing surrounding. We were travelling wit our 1 and 3 year old and the staff was so friendly for them! They even provided us with early dinner so the kids could go to bed in time. We will definitely recommend and go back!

Everything was very nice. We had five wonderful days! The hosts are very nice and helpful - always with a smile. The location is beautiful. There is a restaurant five minutes from the hotel which is very nice and authentic.

Excellent breakfast in stunning setting. All the staff were very helpful and friendly

Location great. Clean. Lovely staff Viola and Marcello . Secure parking. Nice touch to have local maps in the apartment. Nice to touch to leave complimentary half bottle procesco in our fridge. Large double jacuzzi bath also. Double bed as well as sofa bed.

The villa is absolutely stunning, huge in scale and on a sublime plot overlooking the city and the sea. The view took our breath away everytime we stepped outside. There are many properties on the hill, but they are further away from the city. We enjoyed our 5 minute drive down to the city from the villa - the location was excellent. The rooms were large, and had plenty of bathrooms. There was parking for both of our cars and the pool was recently cleaned and fresh. We also appreciated that our neighbours were happy with us playing music by the pool and during our stay we were not bothered by the owners. It really is a special house!

First of all Giada was an exceptional host. She treated us late in the evening and made sure a local restaurant stayed open for us to go down and have amazing pizza! She also called a cab for us since we had a large vehicle and didn’t want to manage it downtown our first night there. The location was great, beautiful view and easy to get to ferry to go see the Cinque Terre’s. The home was beautiful and set up in a great way where we could split up for the evening into separate quarters, and then join for breakfast and other meals in the main kitchen. We were traveling with a large family so it was nice to have separate apartments but be on same property.

Very nice and cozy villa not far away from Cinque Terre, Porto Venere and La Spezia. Own pool with the equipment was a great experience especially for the kids. The onsite host Sara was awesome help during our stay. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back anytime.

Large and very well equipped property. Beautiful swimming pool with wonderful views over La Spezia; loads of lovely outdoor seating/lounging areas, large and comfortable rooms. We didn't use the jacuzzi, steam room or outdoor kitchen in the few days we had. It's a great base to visit the Cinque Terre (we drove down the hill into town and took a train from La Spezia station which is then just a few minutes into each of the five towns). La Spezia also has a lovely downtown area, nice restaurants and boat hire.

This place is absolutely stunning, i fully reccommend. We also got a very nice welcome upon arrival. Fantastic experience

Everything, amazing views, relaxing atmosphere, perfect base location to explore Cinque Terre and surrounding towns.

Situated beautiful on a hill. Nice pool. Kitchen very good. Large living room. Spacious bedroom with comfortable bed.

We stayed at Nyala hotel for a week and we had a great experience! The staff is very kind and professional, they offered us a larger room than the one we had booked. A very bright room, with sea view, an office desk , - excellent for me - a large terrace, well kept bathroom, impeccable cleaning service. Surrounded by greenery, from the Hotel Nyala it is possible to admire a breathtaking panoramic view; the breakfast is excellent, very diversified, impossible not to have a taste of the really delicious cakes. Pool, tourist goals, bike path, gorgeous beach, we will definitely be back to stay at Nyala Hotel!

Hotel ist im guten Zustand, nicht ganz modern aber die Zimmer sind im guten Zustand Frühstück typisches italienische Art, viel süsses Gebäck, entweder man mag diese Art von Frühstück oder nicht. Pool sehr sauber und grösser als gedacht Personal ist sehr freundlich, sehr gutes Reinigungspersonal, das sich sehr mühe gibt und richtig Sauber macht

Spontanbokade detta hotell längs vägen. Kom fram och det var jättefint. Rum mot poolen. Fint lite lyxigt rum. Helt ok frukost. Nöjda!

Nice hotel, a little bit out of town but good free shuttle service. Staff speak good English and were very helpful. Nice pool area, good restaurants and bar areas. We had a nice modern family room which had previously been two seperate rooms, so had two bathrooms. Only negative was the water pressure in one of the showers was not enough to get wet under and the other one kept falling off the wall.

sehr sauber Personal sehr freundlich Zimmer gut ausgestattet Preis/Leistung - Aussicht aus dem Zimmer die Richtung des Pools liegen, sehr schön, da man direkten Blick aufs Meer hat. Der Weg zum Zimmer allerdings, sehr lang - Lage des Hotels - Auswahl beim Frühstück - Hotel etwas in die Jahre gekommen

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at the hotel Stella della Marina in Monterosso and would give this hotel 10 stars if we could. Firstly it is an ideal place to stay when visiting the Cinque Terre, ideally placed for getting to and from the train station and using the ferry. It is just a short walk from the centre of the old town and there are many good restaurants within a short walking distance. The hotel is spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished with all you need. What makes this hotel stand out from everywhere else we have stayed is the manager, Gabrielle. He is the most welcoming, friendly and helpful person we have met and nothing is too much trouble. He goes out of his way to make sure you have all the information you need to make your time in the Cinque Terre the best experience possible. The old saying "arrive as guests, and leave as friends' has never been more true. The bigger, corporate hotels could learn a lot from Gabrielle about customer service. We will go back again just to stay at this hotel.

Why go elsewhere?!? This was our fifth time to Cinque Terre and fourth consecutive trip to stay in the charming town of Monterosso al Mare with the wonderful hotelier Gabriele at his Hotel Stella della Marina--magnificent! Each time we have used this stop as a chance to get over any jet lag, exhale, and relax as we shift into Italy holiday mode. We so look forward to being welcomed again each time by the amazing Gabriele who takes absolutely outstanding care of us with his gracious, comforting service--and he has done so consistently from our very first visit! Even after these terrific visits, his focus on his hotel customers still exceeds our expectations! Among other things, we enjoy how he provides local information and traveler tips to us, graciously and warmly serves us breakfast each morning, and hustles constantly while still allowing us to go at our own pace. And the hotel is wonderfully clean, well appointed, and functional for all guests. We are so grateful to be able to repeat these experiences with Gabriele and his staff and look forward to doing it again hopefully soon. Grazie, Gabriele!!

My friend and I (two female travelers) stayed at Stella Della Marina for two nights, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the owner, Gabriel, made us feel incredibly welcome. He greeted us warmly, helped us with our luggage, and gave us wonderful, detailed instructions on how to explore Cinque Terre — tips that really helped us make the most of our time there. Gabriel went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. After a long day of hiking, we came back to the hotel — and I say “home” because it truly felt like home — and asked if we could have some tea. Without hesitation, Gabriel prepared a beautiful tray of tea and biscuits for us. It’s rare to find such genuine care and hospitality. The entire experience was perfect from start to finish. Gabriel’s kindness, attentiveness, and passion for taking care of his guests made our stay unforgettable. If you’re visiting Cinque Terre, staying at Stella Della Marina is an absolute must!

I can't express how much I enjoyed staying in Stella Della Marina. Gabriele is an absolutely extraordinary person and he is taking care of the guests with so much love. I felt like home! First of all my plane was late and despite the fact that check in is till 9pm. Gabriele kindly agreed to wait and even met me with an umbrella half way (it was pouring when I arrived!) The rooms are very cosy, extremely clean and bed was so comfortable, I haven't slept so well for ages! The breakfast (especially Cappuccino) was amazing, with the beautiful historical view and the outside terrace. Gabriele was so kind and gave me recommendations on where to go and what to see, explained how to get to places and even gave me his umbrella for the day when it was raining ❤️ can't wait to come back someday to this wonderful place. Thank you so much Gabriele for loving what you do and for all your kindness and warmth.

What a fantastic experience. The hotel was just as we anticipated. We had room No. 10 with the ocean and side views. It is in a lovely building of six stories. The hotel consists of 11 rooms on the top 3 floors and the steps don't really present any issue. The beautiful breakfast room is on the middle floor with an outside deck and wonderful views from all three sides. The room was comfortable with the extra exposure, light, views and a wonderful bed. Our host Gabriele is unequaled. He is reception, concierge, bell man, breakfast host, night clerk and an amazing source of all information concerning the 5 towns. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly thanks to his assistance. He cares and made all the difference in our stay. It's a lovely old building and well located in what is not a large town by any measure. It is a wonderful value for the money and we cannot imagine staying anywhere else in the future. Grazie Gabriele!

This is a gem! If you are looking to get away from the super-crazy and crowded touristic paths of Cinque Terre, this is the place to find serenity and a genuine atmosphere. The small guesthouse is run by a sister and brother who have put their soul and heart into building up a newly modeled house with all amenities you need and a beautiful roof terrace where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful view over the sea and the next village Manarola. The room was spotless and clean and much nicer than most 4 star hotel rooms we stayed at during our trip, and equipped with a modern shower in a large bathroom. Not to mention the fabulous breakfast prepared for us in the morning, fresh orange juice and the best coffee (such things are importantly) and even a todays special, many times prepared with fresh fruit and vegetables from their own garden. The location in Corniglia is great, just outside the center with several good restaurants. Don’t miss out on having dinner at the small square in the middle of all houses! There is a shuttle bus taking you up and down to the railway station unless you fancy climbing the 386 stairs to the top. It was really a good place to have as the base for our stay. Our recommendation is really to stay in Corniglia to get away from the crowds and then take daily tours to the other villages. Communication with the facility owners was great and easy with WhatsApp and we really felt heartily welcomed and well taken care of during the whole stay.

This is a family hotel and Giulia and Gianpaolo did their utmost to ensure that we had a perfect break in Corniglia. Free parking is available at the hotel, located on the edge of the village (what a view from their balcony!) and close to the train station and walking trails. On our arrival, we were given maps, train timetables, lists of restaurants and bars and advice on how to travel between the five villages. The room was bright and spacious with a fabulous bathroom and balcony and free orange juice, snacks, water and tea/coffee were provided. The breakfast was exceptional and we loved the special freshly prepared dish each morning. On our final morning, we had to leave before breakfast to catch our flight and a tray of food was prepared for us which we greatly appreciated. This family is so proud of their area and really know how to look after their guests.

This place was very modern and extremely comfortable! It included everything necessary for a great stay! The hosts were incredible-the best we have ever met! They were very responsive, helpful and friendly! We had two bedrooms with air conditioning and windows which was awesome! There was a beautiful roof top terrace with sea views and a private parking space in front of apartment with accessible steps! The breakfast was excellent and free water and coffee available. The location in Corniglia was quiet, quaint and beautiful! No worry about the steps to the train, there is a shuttle or doable walk on the road! Overall, terrific stay! We would love to visit again!

This is in a old historic building that was tastefully redone with contemporary decor. Spotless and comfortable. The whole family that owns and runs the hotel were welcoming, anticipating our needs. They helped us navigate the national park website and booked us into a terrific restaurant that is hard to get into. There were thoughtful touches such as dishes and utensils for snacks and a tea kettle and espresso machine. The location was perfect, close to the historic district and restaurants while being a in a quite area without crowds. The breakfasts were spectacular and fresh. Hard to beat having cappuccinos on the terrace overlooking the sparkling sea. We recommend this place highly.

The property is beautiful, perched on the cliffs of Corniglia with sweeping views. Elegant design in every aspect. The building is gorgeous. There is an inside common room for use and breakfast; also several terraces. We had breakfast on the terrace! The owners have thought of everything to make a stay wonderful in all sorts of little details from a delicious breakfast to including laundry soap and a little drying rack for washing out small clothing items, to having dishes available for take away meals. The owner lent me his hiking poles and guided us in planning our hikes. The also lent us a very good hiking map and guide book.
