My husband and I were travelling by bicycle and had requested secure storage in advance plus charging for my e-bike. The reception team went out of their way to arrange this for us. We were upgraded to a Junior Suite which was beautiful. The rooftop pool had an amazing view and the buffet breakfast was wonderful.

Breakfast was very nice. The entire staff was very pleasant and helpful especially Lionel at the Front Desk and Laura and Paula. I enjoyed my stay especially after they changed my room to one with a better layout and view.

The best massage ever! Rossella provided a great massage. She is also very spiritual and I felt she did a great job of removing any negative energy. Great start to the holiday!!! Thank you

4/10 Fair

Small rooms,no space to put your belongings. No beach belongs to the hotel. They have a private beach,but you have to walk 5- 7 minutes to the beach and pay €40 per person for entrance. Good ,but not excellent breakfast buffet. If you want fried eggs you have to pay for it. You have to pay for the shuttle from the hotel. At the reception they are asking for tips upon check out. Good about the hotel-they are allowing you to use the swimming pool upon check out. You can keep your luggage at the storage room. You can use amenities even after check put .

The location and beauty of Vis a Vis is 10/10. Sestri is such a charming oittle fishing town and the hotel sits atop the hill perfectly overlooking the water. Very clean space however the pool vacuum is alwahs running during the day making it a bit difficult to enjoy that space with the cord running across the pool. Breakfast from the panoramic restaurant was also a great start to the day. We didn't have a chance to have dinner there though - next time for sure.

We loved our stay at Hotel Vis a Vis. The views from this hotel are spectacular, the rooms were a bit small but perfectly fine for what we needed and the staff were amazing, very attentive. Sestri is such a beautiful town and I’d highly recommend this hotel if you’re staying there. It’s walking distance to the town and beaches and makes it a convenient location. However if you’re more of a pool person the pool looks over sestri to portofino it was one of the best views from a hotel we’ve ever had. Thank you Hotel Vis a Vis for making our honeymoon so special!

Hotel Vis a Vis was our first stop on our honeymoon. Everything was perfect, the staff were so friendly and incredible, breakfast was amazing, and the location was absolutely perfect! The bar manager Andrea Carnevale absolutely amazing. Even if you don't stay here, be sure to visit the Deck Zeus for one of his famous cocktails! We couldn't thank you enough. We will be back!
