The location was very easy to walk to from the train station \*\*\*\* if you are walking, MAKE SURE to take the narrow stairs up and over the railroad tracks \*\*\* Once you're there, you will be overwhelmed with the beauty and splendor of the rooms as well as the overlooking views of the harbor. The staff was extremely nice and helpful...

We loved our stay at Villa Gelsomino. From the gorgeous room and bathroom to the shared sea-view balcony, our 3-night stay felt like we were at a friend's home. The staff are phenomenal and helpful in every manner. A wonderful experience, and we will be going back! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth 5 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Just the best. Would definitely stay here again. Great location, great view, great staff, great breakfast!..couldnt have been better. One tip: if you arrive at the train station with a roller bag, dont take the stairs. Take a right on the road out of the train station and head up the hill on the road. The stairs are a lot if you are carrying a bag. ##### Beth Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hallie 21 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful, romantic stay We loved our stay at Villa Gelsomino! The property was absolutely gorgeous from the floor tiles to the ceilings. The location was very convenient and a quick walk to the city center. Views were breathtaking. Breakfast was delicious and it was nice to have fresh, made to order food versus the typical breakfast buffet at most other hotels. All staff members were so nice and helpful. They went above and beyond to make our stay special.

If you’re driving the road is a bit narrow for the last bit, but then again that’s Italy. The staff was great and location up the hill from the train station was excellent. The town had a lot of places to explore and the walk to Portofino was a great one. It will take you about 45 minutes by train to get to Cinque Terre but that may be a good thing as the towns were pretty full and it wasn’t yet peak season. We would recommend this location with no reservations. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paula 7 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property and rooms. Breakfast was wonderful and staff were very friendly and helpful. The property is in a central location but it’s a steep walk up a lot of stairs to get from the street up to the property. There is a train station at the bottom of the hill. You take your life in your hands if you want to drive the narrow little streets. Taxis can take you anywhere but it’s 40 euros to get into Portofino. Overall, this place was wonderful and we would definitely stay again. ##### Paula Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### alejandro 17 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The villa is beautiful. The noise is terrible. Trains passed all nigth long. Airconditioning was off because it was October, despite it was more than 25 degrees outside and like 28 in the room. Unbearable. ##### alejandro Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Bengt 14 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Historical charm This is a unique hotel – a villa built by a wealthy family in the late 19th century, with its historical charm preserved down to the finest detail. We had a room with a balcony and a stunning view of the Santa Margherita. But it’s important to understand that this is not a five-star hotel in terms of the service typically associated with that rating. For example, there is an extra charge of €20 for check-ins after 7:30 PM, and €50 for check-ins between 9 and 11 PM. Because there is no 24-hour service. It’s also apparently essential to fill out a form the day before specifying your breakfast preferences—even for the limited basic option—which we failed to do. This was not appreciated. The reason given is to reduce food waste, though it comes across as greenwashing. It’s also worth noting that trains pass relatively close by, which might be an issue for light sleepers. Personally, we didn’t find it particularly disturbing. ##### Bengt Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tommy 6 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Je recommande fortement cette établissement, ##### Tommy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben 1 Jul 2025 ##### Ben Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marius 10 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### St.Margherita Rommet var større enn ventet.
