Golfo dei Poeti Relais & Spa

This was the perfect location to stay for a retreat and also for a day trip into Cinque Terre. We won’t get over being driven in a cart to and from the parking lot down a charming rock wall lined street. It’s the most magical entry to a hotel we’ve ever experienced. Their customer service is exceptional, going above and beyond in every way. We were greeted with a welcome drink and given complimentary DELICIOUS snacks by the pool. The view at breakfast was the best we experienced in all of Italy. Looking into the Ligurian sea was beautiful. The spa was wonderful and available to us to use privately for an hour when it was not in use. What a treat! Sauna, steam room relaxation areas with a freshly prepared treat made by the chef waiting for us. Two nights was not enough to enjoy this beautiful property! Laura gave us recommendations on how to enjoy Cinque Terre and local restaurants, plus graciously answered any of our questions. We loved meeting her!

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this house: quite old, on some places like sauna and pool dirty. The view is fantastic, but the parking situation, check in, rooms and facilities are not in a good condition and it’s too expensive ( One Campari Spritz or Glas of Wine costs about 20€) After check out payment we checked the bill and saw that we paid too much, but reception told us to write an email. Unfortunately no one answered our email. It’s definitely not a five star service hotel and I can’t recommend it! There are many other beautiful places in the region that have the same view.

This place is not a 5 star hotel. The view is the only thing that is nice. Terrible to find and a hassle to get to. There is nothing to do in the property. It is very far away from any activities you’d want to do in the coast. We arrived and immediately left. Did not get a courtesy from the hotel of the nights we did not use. Would 100% stay elsewhere for the price they charge.
