Lavagna, Liguria hotel rooms at the Independent

"The most amazing breakfast buffet! The hotel employees got out of their way to make you comfortable. They held our luggage after we checked out so that we could continue to explore. It is located in the best of the 5 terrras! "

"This is the first class property. And also first class staff. My wife and I bought a bottle of wine at dinner. By the end of dinner, we thought that we drank three bottles of wine. The reason why is because every time we took a sip or two the waiter would come and refill our glasses. Or I should say waiters. He was there so many times and was so attentive that we literally thought we drink three bottles of wine. It was a very beautiful experience. I was impressed with the property and the people."

"Lovely hotel in the traditional Italian Riviera style. Staff could not have been more helpful. Food and service were excellent. Only criticism was the lack of a shuttle service to the centre of town which, given the position of the hotel on top of a hill, the high cost of local taxis and the high temperatures, made it difficult for older customers or those with mobility difficulties."

"What a fabulous hotel! Location is perfect for travelling around Liguria, with the ferry boat only 2 minutes walk. 10/10 for cleanliness and maid service. The room was nicely furnished and had a beautiful terrace overlooking the harbour. Breakfasts had a good selection of deli, fresh fruits and yoghurts. What made this hotel truly special was the staff. They could not do enough for us, and made our stay memorable! Will definitely be returning!"

"The staff is incredibly kind and efficient. The location is stunning, the hotel amenities very comfortable. We would def recommend it."

"Excellent stay. We loved the hotel and the staff were wonderful. "

"Exellent "

"Loved the pool side. Later hours would be great since the pool was closed when we arrived in the evenings from travelling."
