We stayed for 2 nights in 2 rooms with our 3 teenage children at this lovely boutique hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and check in and check out were very easy. The rooms were spotless, compact and well-appointed with very comfortable beds and tea and coffee in the room. One of our rooms was on the top floor with a beautiful view of Lerici, the marina and the sea and a lovely small terrace from which to enjoy it. Breakfast was very nice with lots of fresh options and a very nice dining room, great coffee and terrific service. We would have loved to enjoy breakfast on the terrace, but it was too cold. We chose Lerici as a base for exploring Cinque Terre and it was perfect. Lerici is charming and quiet, and shops and restaurants are a short walk downhill from the hotel. There was free always parking available, so it was easy to drive 20 minutes to La Spezia and take the train to the Cinque Terre villages from there and get back in the evening.

We were very happy with everything, but it is important to note that there are quite a few stairs to get to reception from the parking on the driveway leading to the hotel. A lot of heavy luggage may require assistance from the hotel.

location, set slightly above the village with excellent views, had a premium corner room which was very comfortable (bed was one of the best) very good breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea, good carparking on site with very helpful and friendly staff to assist parking (it is on the side of a hill with sharp bendy curves) Being in Italy it is built for small cars!

I am sure this was not intentional but check your bill on leaving, instead of the 8 Euro local city tax the receptionist tried to charge my credit card with 80 euro!

Amazing panoramic views of Lerici and surrounding area. The room was fabulous also great breakfast and very close to the main piazza with amazing restaurants. short walk with a few steps down the hill from hotel to be able to reach the town centre

To many stairs to reach to the entrance of the Hotel, on the flip side then you would lose out on the amazing panoramic views

The view from the spacious balcony of our room ("D.H. Lawrence") was spectacular. It virtually took our breath away. Everyone on the staff that we encountered was very friendly and helpful (and patient with our attempts to speak Italian with them!) We couldn't have asked for a more memorable stay.

It wasn't that we "didn't like it," but it was a little difficult to locate, because the hotel, as it turned out, was situated on the side of a steep hill above the town but BELOW the level of the road my husband and I were on. Fortunately, the hotel had cameras that could see us, so after I called them, they guided us down, down and down the windy, narrow road to the hotel. I don't believe we ever would have found the Doria Park so quickly without their guidance.

Loved the view from our room & great location! The terrace was small but felt private. It’s all about the location & views!

The staff was not all that welcoming compared to other most of our experiences, but helpful enough when asked. Unfortunately, I left a piece of jewelry in the room. They advised they checked. I asked later hoping it was turned in and received a response yelling at me in ALL CAPS. Someone now has a beautiful gold ring!

The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The towels and linens feel luxurious. The dining area, patio, and outside seating area have beautiful views of the Gulf of La Spezia. The included breakfasts were extremely good and varied. The hotel is also perfectly located to allow for amazing views and easy walking distance to town, restaurants, and the waterfront.

While the breakfasts were extremely good, we found the dinner choices to be too limiting. We actually never ended up eating dinner at the hotel because of it. When staying in Italy we don't necessarily want French-style dining.

Wide variety of choices. From eggs and bacon, pancakes, yogurts, fruit, multiple breads and pastries, croissant mini sandwiches. Fresh orange juice, coffees and teas.

Had to take several stairs to reach entrance to the hotel. We were fine but, can imagine for some, that would be quite difficult. There was help on our arrival with the bags but, not when we left.

The view was incredible Breakfast was delicious Very nice and polite staff Good access to the city center Enough parking spaces Pet friendly (extra charge 30€)

The way to the hotel from parking is quite hard to access with luggage, looots of stairs, we had late checkin so no staff for that was there anymore and we really got sweaty until we took all the luggage to the room :)

The best hotel and location during one week trip in ITA. Best view out of all stays during this week (room with sea view), and the best breakfast we get this week as well. For 3* hotel - it's above expectations ( even if the price for it is like for 4*) :)

Rooms with sea views are on the same site as the restaurant. All makes sense - as long as all the noise is finished by 10pm (let's say by 11pm). Of course, all depends on guests - but out of 2 nights we get there, one was a bit "too long disturbed". Still worth to take a sea view room :)

Very good views of the bay - steps to the hotel not the issue you would think ( we are seniors) worth the effort for location - excellent service and fantastic breakfast
