"We had a lovely stay at HNN. We were given a warm welcome & everything was clearly explained. The room was very clean with air con & complimentary hot drink tray. Also a mini bar which was charged for. The beds were comfy & although there was a bit of traffic noise in the evening, it was quieter in the night & we all slept well. Breakfast was continental, with a good range of breads, pastries, cheese, jam, yogurts & fruits. They had some pre packaged gluten free items for my coeliac husband...

"The room was very basic but clean. The beds were not very comfortable due to thin mattresses. The hotel advertised AC, but it is not used during the spring. For this reason, we slept with the window open & heard noise all night long from cars & sirens. Breakfast was the highlight of the stay. It was a delicious buffet. The location is also a plus... near the train station and cruise port. Not bad for a one-night stay, but I wouldn't recommend more (especially if you're hot-natured or...

Hotel La Vela

10/10 Excellent

"It has the best view town and harbour"

Hotel Minerva

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Minerva and could not have been happier with the experience. The staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. They truly jumped at every opportunity to help us and made us feel very well taken care of. We especially appreciated how accommodating they were when we requested a room change and later asked to extend our stay for additional nights. Everything was handled with warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. The level of service made our stay feel effortless and memorable. We would happily return and highly recommend Hotel Minerva to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with outstanding staff and service."

Hotel Sant'Andrea

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed at hundreds if not thousands of hotels both in the US, Europe, South America and Asia. From oasis bungalows to some of the nicer 5 star hotels. Do not be fooled by the 3 stars of this hotel. The staff are some of the most caring and helpful I have ever experienced. Whether it’s the inclusive breakfasts in the morning, the help with reservations and beach clubs or simply chatting and learning more about the history of Santa Margerita. The room itself is bright spacious and clean. The hotel is run by people who love to travel so they maintain this energy for you. As an American we love our water and they would always give me bottles, focaccia, and even medicine when you eat something a little funky in town. There are no hidden fees or surcharges so it is extremely reasonable and I felt very safe and in good hands during my stay and cannot wait to be back :)"

Hotel Villa Anita

10/10 Excellent

"Villa Anita was absolutely delightful. It was our favorite hotel during our five week trip. Crystel provided invaluable advice that helped us optimize our itinerary. She is a gem! Rosana from the kitchen staff is also amazing and so friendly! The decor is so tasteful and classy without being pretentious. The setting is so peaceful and scenic. Laundry service was quite expensive, and our refrigerator did make noise at night until unplugged (they fixed it the next day), but overall I would give Villa Anita a grade of A+. (We had an upgraded room with balcony.)"
