What a lovely hotel with the most amazing view to the ocean! Very well taken care, the breakfast was good and the staff was friendly. It's much nicer in person than the advertising pictures. It's a perfect place to get away and relax.

Lovely stay, beautiful place, best bed in Italy!
Booked for one night, added a 2nd after checking in. From the greeting to an offer to let us select our room, the bedding (BEST bed, bedding in Italy, lovely WC) the elegance throughout & wonderful staff, cannot praise this hotel enough. Greeted with warmth as though we'd stayed a dozen times before, the staff was always smiling, saying hello. Especially want to note the owner's easy way, the young man who served at lunch but especially Elizabetta! All these things make a difference to one's experience. We were seeking a few days of quiet in a beautiful location after weeks of travel in cities across Europe. Nothing could have been better. The comfort of the room, the pleasantness of the hotel, the beautiful surroundings - a stab in the dark that really paid off! We had lunch at their restaurant, not knowing what to expect: first rate. Shared an appetizer, two mains, one side dish, shared a dessert, bottle of wine. With views out to the water and a beautiful dining room - it was a very romantic meal! As we visited in December the pool was not heated, but they keep it sparkling clean so you still enjoy the beauty of the exterior. The hotel has ample parking for those driving but is also just a 5 minute walk from the train. We walked to the beach (easy, safe) and marina, around the cove and up on the top side of the town. Really pretty little community.

Wonderful, beautiful property!
Amazing property, absolutely stunning. Very close to the beach you can literally walk down from the back of the hotel. FYI it is a rocky beach. The hotel has a beautiful courtyard where they serve dinner and host events. Service was incredible from the front desk to the kitchen staff to housekeeping staff. Breakfast every morning was delicious with plentiful options. Dinner was fantastic and one of the best dinners we've had in Italy. The front desk can help arrange any taxi transfers you may need, as well as potentially getting you electric bike rentals but you must give them an advance notice. My only qualm was the the shower was small for me (I'm 5'10 175 lbs) and I kept bumping into the walls/shower handle.

Charming hotel with breathtaking view
Very charming hotel with amazing views of the sea. We loved the view from our window and the walk around the property - absolutely breathtaking! The hotel is very clean, has very nice decor, the atmosphere is just lovely. The food is delicious - we had dinner and breakfast there, both amazing. The room was clean and pretty, shower and bathroom nice and modern. Really great shower! Very nice and helpful staff. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Beautiful, the setting is amazing, the rooms comfortable and the restaurant meals just wonderful. From check in at the front desk to the wait staff at dinner and breakfast, everyone was friendly and accommodating. We just stopped for a night on way down southern Italy, but they were setting up for a wedding that afternoon, what an amazing venue.

Lovely spot on the water!
This hotel was magnificent - on the water but a rocky beach so not easily swimable. Great balcony off the 2nd floor where we could watch the sunset! Food at the restaurant was mixed - but nice terrace location. Room was small but comfortable with a great shower. Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful!

An amazing gem just south of Livorno
We had a wonderful day and evening at Villa Marguerita - the hotel was only surpassed by restaurant cuisine & service!! We enjoyed lunch so much upon arrival that we made a reservation for dinner after a wonderful afternoon enjoying the terrace grounds and pool. We had a very early ferry so we missed the breakfast included with the room. They surprised us with a breakfast to go bag! We loved our too short stay that we booked a night there when we return to Tuscany in Oct.

Upscale hotel in small town Italy
Our family of 5 stayed in a Sea side suite. There was plenty of room for all of us and our luggage. The hotel was upscale and included a wonderful hot breakfast buffet. If you are driving, there seems to be limited parking. The hotel is located in a small town with very little to do or other food options. But we did find a great cafe within walking distance with very reasonable prices. Overall for a one night stay on the Mediterranean as we were passing through to Pisa, it was a great place to relax. We would definitely stay here again if we ever came back to Italy.

A Little Gem in Livorno
Hotel Villa Margherita has the best sea views. Standing in our balcony taking in the breathtaking views of the sun sinking into the ocean was unforgettable . Loved the decor in the junior triple room. Definitely worth getting a sea facing room. The hotel has been renovated and the pool looks stunning but it was unfortunately too cold to swim. Frederique and Sylvia(don’t know if I’m spelling their names correctly) were fantastic. Frederique checked us in and was very helpful with directions to the car rental return at Pisa airport as well as everything else we asked. This is certainly the place to relax and get away from it all. One negative that I did experience was when I called the hotel the day before as a time of arrival was requested and spoke with the owner. I had booked via hotels.com and one of the reasons I had chosen this hotel was the free 2 hour early check in and free 2 hour late check out as we had a late flight. When I tried to confirm this with the owner she told me “that’s not how things work.” If you are running an establishment it is your duty to know what promotions you have running. Luckily at check in I spoke with Frederique and showed her the booking with the promotion and she said it would not be a problem. Wi Fi is non-existent. As soon as you connect, it drops out.

Nice hotel with a great view of the sea.
We chose this hotel to be end our stay in Italy and to give a chance the kids to play in a pool after walking miles sightseeing the previous days. They were excited to have a nice and clean room with their own beds and to be able to go down to the pool right away. It was about a 30 min. drive to the ferry but worth it. We took the ferry the next morning to Corsica.

Charming
The hotel is a lovely old villa, a little shabby chic, but added to the charm. We would definitely go again (in season) unfortunately in January EVERYTHING in village is shut. That said the food in hotel restaurant was excellent, it would however, have been nice to try one of the many little restaurants that were closed

Lovely hotel with a great view of the water!
The place was lovely and dining on the deck was superb. The room was cozy and the bathroom was nice. The onsite dining including the continental breakfast were great. I arrived around 9:00 pm in the evening and check-in was quick. I just missed seeing the sunset from the dining balcony though I did view it from the taxi on the way out from the Livorno train station. The taxi cost was 28 euros from Livorno train station. My other option was to wait 2 hours to take the train to Quercianella station which is 5 minute walk from the hotel. I left Milan around 4:30 that afternoon via train. In the morning I was up early to enjoy the facilities before I needed to leave for Rome after check-out. I sat on one of the three sun decks for a while. The only issue I had was that my "garden-view" was a first floor room with the view of the parking lot! That is not a garden view. I usually like to sleep with the drapes open so I can enjoy the evening sky but I can't with cars right outside.

Hotel is very nice and recently refurbished. There is nothing to do and nowhere to eat except hotel. Food was poor, overpriced and apart from one young male waiter the staff were not good with English or very friendly. I doubt we will ever back to this part of Italy.
