Hotel Del Golfo

“Nice hotel in a very convenient location!”

We spent a very nice w-e in this hotel on the coast between Varigotti and Finale Ligure. The rooms are nice and clean, the staff is super kind and helpful and the beach is just a few steps away.

“Lovely”

Lovely rooms with great sea views. Private beach (actually opens on to free beach which other people, and dogs, access out of season) accessible down steep, uneven steps and tunnel. Really good breakfast. Dog friendly- at E15 charge for the night :( Outdoor pool was a disappointment- the type one... Plus

Lovely rooms with great sea views. Private beach (actually opens on to free beach which other people, and dogs, access out of season) accessible down steep, uneven steps and tunnel. Really good breakfast. Dog friendly- at E15 charge for the night :( Outdoor pool was a disappointment- the type one can buy and put in the back garden without having to dig- and was in the shade. A long walk to other amenities.

“Great family hotel”

We booked a family room for 2 kids and 2 adults which proved quite nice. The view was awesome, the room comfortable, the staff friendly, the breakfast filling, and the beachside location convenient. Nice walks to be had to two different villages. It only lacked a proper fitness room, which odd... Plus

Nice walks to be had to two different villages. It only lacked a proper fitness room, which oddly was absent for such a big hotel.

“nice hotel - slightly disappointing dinner”

We stayed here for one night on our way from France to Italy. As other travellers have said, its a very handsome building, and the car park is a real plus.

We stayed here for one night on our way from France to Italy. As other travellers have said, its a very handsome building, and the car park is a real plus. The interior did lack a bit of character, but our room was large, with a beautiful sea view, and a super-comfy bed. Our bathroom was excellent - spotlessly clean with a huge shower. The staff on reception and in the restaurant were friendly, and even arranged for us to have a TV-facing table for dinner, so we could watch the England-Tunisia football game. The hotel has a large, decked sun-terrace overlooking the sea (very pleasant) and a very tiny outdoor pool. It also has a private beach, but I believe there is an additional charge to use it (we didn't bother as it was only a stopover). Overall, I would have rated the hotel 'very good' if it wasn't for the dinner - we had the set menu, which consisted of an underwhelming pasta dish, limp swordfish steak and an unmemorable crème brulee. Perhaps they were having an off-night, but it had the mass-produced feel of a 1980s British hotel dinner. Breakfast was more impressive, with an enormous buffet that covered all bases.

“Good beach, nice room. Bad food”

We stayed here in between two excellent places, one in the Dolomites, the other the Alps. As such Hotel del Golfo had a hard act to live up to so I am being honest - the hotel was clean and the room was large, quiet and had a nice view of the beach. The beach itself is good and there is no doubt ... Plus

We stayed here in between two excellent places, one in the Dolomites, the other the Alps. As such Hotel del Golfo had a hard act to live up to so I am being honest - the hotel was clean and the room was large, quiet and had a nice view of the beach. The beach itself is good and there is no doubt its handy being next to the beach as the road gets packed with cars and parking presumably is not that easy. The hotel has its own private beach for which we ended up paying 25 euros per day which must have been in the small print as we weren't expecting to pay for this. But the beach was quiet and service there good. On to the breakfast - dissapointing really. V little fresh fruit and what was available was not ripe/pretty hard. Rest of breakfast ok. Had to ask for coffee - what was out was filter stuff not the better stuff that comes straight from a machine. However the deck area where breakfast/dinner is served is a lovely spot with view across the sea. On to dinner - we arrived late - 7pm having driven 6 hours with two small children. We'd read reviews but thought how bad can food be? We were knackered so didn't fancy the drive to town. Kids pasta was good and I think that is because the sauce was external and added to the pasta. However the antipasti/salad we had to choose from was really very poor stuff - how can tomatoes in July in Italy taste so rubbish? Tesco does better. They then missed my pasta course out and brought the fish we'd order. It really was bad. The desserts were dissapointing too. Staff were helpful. Overall - fine to stay at and go to the beach but do yourself a big favour - take the trip to Finale Ligure for dinner. We did on two consecutive nights and had good food.
