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 Oct 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Je recommande fortement cette établissement, ##### Tommy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had the Portofino room, which featured a gorgeous sea view. The entire villa is phenomenal, each room is a work of art, with vaulted ceilings and original artwork. Breakfast was a delight, with fresh fruit and veggies, perfect portions and honey from the property. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful during the stay. I would recommend Villa Gelsomino in a heartbeat. ##### Michael Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marius Jun 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### St.Margherita Rommet var større enn ventet. Fint interiør som står i stil med det flotte bygget. Frokosten var enkel men god. God service og tilgjengelig bar ved behov. Vi brukte fellesbalkongen og hadde fin utsikt over St. Margherita. ##### Marius Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel was an incredible find!! 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.
