The breakfast was excellent., plenty of variety. They provided non-dairy options for milk and yogurts. The staff were always very cheerful and helpful. The rooms were very clean. Plenty of towels were provided. The beds were very comfortable. The hotel provides a shuttle to the town of Levanto for €5 each way. Levanto is a lovely town with a beach and it has many shops and restaurants. The hotel shuttle is well worth it as there is a very efficient train service that takes you from Levanto to all of the Cinqueterre towns and beyond.

Only downside is the distance from the airport to the hotel as a taxi costs €300 one way. We hired a car from Pisa airport but our experience with car rental at Pisa airport is we've always been scammed at Pisa airport car rentals with excessive add-ons (double the price of the original car hire - triple this time !!! ). It would be great if the hotel provided a shuttle from the airport at a reasonable rate.

Absolutely stunning hotel, very comfortable and very welcoming, professional, and helpful staff. The hotel is very clean, has a stunning pool overlooking the surrounding mountains and the architecture of the whole place is unique and lovely. The views from the terraces and the room are stunning. When you take breakfast on the terrace, you can see both the mountain and the sea. There is a shuttle to take you up and down to the train station where you can catch the train into Cinque Terre; it’s not free but not too expensive.

Only minus is that the rooms are not well insulated against noise so you can hear noises from neighboring rooms. Luckily, the guests are quiet in the night.

Good breakfast Nice, big rooms with great views Helpfull staff Family run hotel Transfer to city centre or train station is inflexible but works otherwise well A bar with drinks on a nice terrace with evening sun Lovely pool

The transfer service goes at particular times to the city centre or train station - inflexible and the first goes 0835 in the morning, which is a little late for early morning tracking Breakfast starts first at 0800 in the morning Unfortunately the hotel offers no snacks or meals, so you have to go to the city centre or bring food with you to the hotel

Very nice hotel located among beautiful and peaceful hills, run by a family. Welcoming staff. General terrace with a sea view. Shuttle to the city center and train station. Great base to Cinque Terre region which is amazing but quite crowded. Here you can find a quiet. I would definitely recommend this accomodation.

It would be nice to have the option to operate the air conditioning/heating in the room, not just from the reception area. The possibility of the evening meal would be something extra and nice, however the center of Levanto is not so far, so it is not a problem to visit some local restaurant. It would be nice if breakfast would include a better quality of local products like tomatoes, mozzarella, focaccia, etc. to let the guests feel the real taste of fantastic Italian food.

We had spent the previous three days at a 5 star resort. Fabulous, historic place. Honestly, Hotel Al Terra Di Mare was as fabulous in it's own way---just not as historic! Our room at Hotel Al Terra Di Mare was quite large, as was the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. Impeccably clean. Staff was lovely and gracious. Complimentary breakfast was a delicious and sumptuous banquet. Our little balcony looked over incredible mountainsides and small villages. Best shower of our trip! I guess it is 4 star instead of 5 because it isn't a 500 year old villa. It's a very homey, charming hotel run by a caring family. Recommend!

The location was beautiful, peaceful with plenty of spots set aside to enjoy the view and listen to the birds. Very beautiful. The hotel shuttle was very appreciated and extras were added to accommodate when possible A few more rides in early to mid afternoon could be helpful. The entire property was extremely clean and graciously decorated. The pool was in a wonderful location to optimally enjoy the surroundings. The breakfast had a good variety , very fresh and delicious. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

As above, a few more afternoon rides fir the shuttle could be helpful

Breakfast was good. Staff very attentive. Good location for cinq terre. Levanto has some good returants. Shuttle bus down to town.

We could have used more information about local restaurants. We found them by ourselves. In the evening some basic food would have been a bonus otherwise its a car journey each evening. Shuttle's should be available all day not just specified hours.

The hotel offers a great experience with its clean and spacious rooms. The staff are welcoming and friendly, making your stay pleasant. The breakfast is really good, adding to the overall positive experience.

However, the hotel is situated on a steep hill, which can be inconvenient for some guests. Additionally, the room floor color is rather unpleasant.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The place is clean and comfortable. The location is up on a hill side, so plan on using a car to reach the location. However, the views are beautiful.

I have nothing negative to say about this hotel.

We loved our stay at Hotel Al Terra Di Mare. It felt like such a unique experience as the hotel is up in the hills of Levanto. It was beautiful and peaceful. It was not exactly convenient to get to the town - pretty much the only way was via the hotel shuttle which only runs at certain times (and not between 11:15 a.m. and 4:50 p.m.). For our family, this was okay as we just arranged our days around the shuttle and planned to be out all day. You could take a taxi however that is not as easy as it sounds. i believe there is only one taxi in the town and he is often times not available when you need it. If you are looking for convenience to the town and being where the action is, then I might discourage you from staying at this hotel. Our boys that we travelled with are young adults and would have appreciated a bit more activity however for us, we loved coming back and being at such a quiet hotel in the evenings. We also really loved the pool and appreciated that it was never busy like the previous hotel we stayed at in Florence. The breakfast was good, though we felt that we could not take more than one glass of prosecco as the owner was always watching. The staff were extremely helpful and communicated with us via whatsapp. They were helpful in booking dinner reservations and giving us directions. We truly enjoyed our stay here but felt it was more of a ‘couples’ hotel.

We were under the impression that the hotel served drinks and snacks during the day at the pool but we never experienced this. The shuttle not running for such a big chunk of the day was a bit inconvenient. We also appreciated that the hotel was very eco friendly however it was such a nuisance that every single time you opened a window or door, the air conditioning would turn right off - the weather was very hot when we travelled.
