Hotel Miramare & Spa

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Miramare and Spa. When searching for a , I had been attracted to the hotel by the photos of the Bay of Silence location of the hotel. It was even better in real life! A really beautiful and peaceful location as we were travelling during the non peak time of March. The bedroom we were allocated was lovely and spacious as we were upgraded on arrival to the Junior Suite with Seaview and balcony, room 210. The bed was SO comfortable and the room was very quiet. Sitting on the balcony at different times of the day was bliss! As we had requested a twin room, they made up the sofa bed into another bed for us, which was also very comfortable to sleep in. The suite was very clean and every little extra touch was provided. I loved the huge fluffy dressing gowns especially! The bathroom had a wonderful jacuzzi bath as well as a separate shower. I loved the range of toiletries provided, the shower gel, shampoo and conditioner smelt and felt lovely. The breakfast room overlooking the sea was beautiful, such a pleasure to eat our breakfast overlooking the calm bay. It had lots of choice. We chose the ham and cheese omelette on the first morning which was delicious, so much so that we ordered another one on the following day! The pastries were displayed in a pretty way, like they do for an afternoon tea in England on a stand on each table. We didn’t manage to eat at the restaurant as it wasn’t open when we were there but there was plenty of choice in the town of Sestri Levante itself. We thought that the old town of Sestri Levante was delightful. We found it a great base for taking the train to see the Cinque Terre which was the main objective of our trip and we are so glad that we chose to stay outside in such a lovely resort. It was an easy direct connection to the Cinque Terre stations.

We stayed at Miramare for three nights, celebrating my mother’s 90th birthday. The location of the hotel is outstanding, in a very picturesque bay of the Liguria coastline. the rooms were very spacious, actually more like small apartments. The rooftop rooms are modern large lofts. everything was comfortable and we slept very well, waking up to the sound of the waves. Breakfast was of excellent quality and variety and we enjoyed chatting with Angelo, one of the chief waiters. We had lunch at the “La baia del silenzio” restaurant located in the hotel and it was delicious. We had a lovely time at the spa- the management found a way to allow protected time for large groups with children, so not to disrupt the quiet for other guests. We purchased several types of treatments at the spa and the manager Cristina and the estheticians Martina, Paola and Julia were professional, skillful and kind. The hotel is located right on the beach and still in the middle of the town, so we had a large choice of dining options. I warmly recommend hotel Miramare- a rare gem of old-style hospitality with a modern touch.

Beautiful hotel, clean and very well equipped bathroom, comfortable bed. The staff was very nice. Everything went smoothly. The breakfast is great. The beach is 5 steps from the reception.

The hotel is located right at the Silent bay and has great views if you are on the ocean. The bar has an outside deck that is perfect for after work relaxing. The room was upgraded on check in to a two bedroom suite that was comfortable and cool for sleeping. I also took advantage of the spa service to overcome some travel pains. Overall a very recommended place to stay.

The beach at the accommodation is in a small bay which is private and much less busy than the main beach. The hotel itself had lovely dinning options on the beach at night with a great view. The rooms were also bigger than i expected and the facilities such as aircon worked well.
