Lovely hotel, great central location. Both front desk and housekeeping personnel excellent. Glad we chose Levanto over Cinque Terre for lodging, and glad we chose Hotel Nazionale. Good shower on size, water pressure, hot water, and water not getting on bathroom floor. After first night decided to upgrade to very lovely spacious room with a view, but was relatively pricey for Levanto. Hotel parking very expensive. Many focaccia places in Levanto, best we found is at Piazza Staglieno 37, a 5-minute walk away, around the corner from Cafe del Mar. Great whole grain as well as array of traditional. Nice owner/chief baker.
