    The wild boars we encountered in the street walking back to the hotel after a late night dinner.

    very friendly and helpful staff. big room with balcony and view. the hotel is in walking distance from everything and yet sits on a slight hill with sweeping views at least from our room. Roof top with pool/jacuzzi and sauna.

    Very charismatic and beautiful place with amazingly helpful staff. The room was very cozy and clean, the view to the city and the port is nice. They cleaned the room every day. The breakfast is common for Italy, they had lots of sweets but not so much savory options. But the pastries were amazing and the breakfast overall was enjoyable.

    Wish we could have stayed longer!

    Great, quiet location tucked away from the Main Street but very easy to walk to the seafront and restaurants. Our room was fantastic and very comfortable - the shower was amazing! Exceptional team of staff who couldn’t do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The roof terrace and breakfast were highlights! Would definitely recommend :)

    Nothing

    The hotel is in a perfect position tucked away up a quiet street but only a 5 minute walk to the port. There is a small supermarket and pharmacy nearby. The hotel staff are so very helpful and informative. Nothing was too much trouble. Our bedroom had a small balcony overlooking the bay and the Tuscan hillside and we were on Level 4 which is where the rooftop terrace is available to use. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very well appointed. Good shower. The Jacuzzi and sun terrace are amazing. You need to book a slot at reception as only a limited number of people can use at any one time which is understandable. We stayed here 5 nights. Breakfast was excellent every day with plenty of choice and the option to sit outside in the garden.

    The hotel itself is set back from the main street so you have to turn off and walk up a slight hill to it and at night it was very quiet and dark-ish walking up there which as a woman on my own, wasn't my favourite, although I am sure it is totally safe! The decor of the hotel I found pretty dated, it could do with a refresh, although I didn't mind some of it in my room as it was quite traditional Italian, but the more common spaces looked very dated. The hairdryer in my room wasn't great and provided not much heat or power and the shower cubicle was extremely small. There was also no air conditioning. Having said all this though, if you want a great basic hotel with amazing staff is it perfect for you. I still had a very comfortable stay and I would definitely stay there again!

    I booked this hotel at the last minute when I decided to extend my holiday by two nights, and I chose it as it was the best value for money, however I was perfectly happy with it. I was really just using it as a base, so I didn't use the facilities much/at all. My room was great, a really nice size, traditionally decorated (slightly dated) and super clean, good size bathroom and the room came with a safe and a fridge which was useful. It was also very quiet and felt very safe, which is important for a solo traveler. The bed and pillows were very comfy, I slept really well there. The staff at the hotel were really friendly and welcoming and they went out of their way to help me on my check-out when I had to get to the train station for 5am and they personally drove me as I had left it too late to book a taxi, which I really appreciated! Very kind of them.

    Absolutely loved every moment in Albergo Minerva. Such an awesome hotel. We loved our room. We absolutely loved the pool and sauna on the rooftop. The staff were so sweet and also helped to arrange a boat tour. Breakfast was excellent.

    No cons - only thing to note is that we had to reserve the pool area in advance. No doubt this is for everyone’s enjoyment and fairness, and may have just been for peak season.

    Dreamy property, perfect clean rooms and bathrooms, great value, ideal location and the most helpful, attentive staff. Couldn’t have been better. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit the area.

    Some bits are dated, however, to be expected in Europe

    Owners//staff were lovely and very helpful, beautiful location away from busy crowds, it felt more like staying at a guest house than a hotel, and they make an excellent americano with oat milk! I’m definitely recommending it to my friends and family and hope to be back very soon!

    I just wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience at ALBERGO Minerva in Santa Margherita Ligure. I had a fantastic time! The hotel apartments were amazing, and I absolutely loved the great service provided by the attentive staff. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect during my stay. The rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, making me feel right at home. And let me tell you, the breakfast was super! It was the perfect way to start each day of my vacation. Overall, I had a great time and would highly recommend ALBERGO Minerva to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway.

    Lack of parking. You pay quite a bit to park in the basement.

    Really comfy rooms. Good location. Kept an old Italian vibe. Decent breakfast. Nothing to complain about except lack of free parking!
