We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Vis a Vis for four nights in December 2011 and we cannot compliment the staff high enough. Upon arrival the Reception staff greeted us by name, quickly check us in, then piled us with information on the local area and easily answered any queries we had. We normally avoid eating in hotel restaurants, but... More

We stayed 4 nights in September. We booked a sea view room and were put initially in one at the back of the hotel with a sea view only when out on the balcony (mentioned by a previous reviewer). However, the worst thing about this room was that the next room had a balcony at right angles so people sat... More

The first night we arrive, the hotel staff had an evening reception on the top floor. It was an absolute stunning view of the water,and the boats on the bay. The room were very immaculate, and the hotel staff friendly. The room we were in had a private courtyard with table and lounge chairs for drinks, relaxing, reading a book,... More

We had a reservation for a sea view room for 4 nights in July. We were given a room at the 1st floor (no 107), where you had to go out on the balcony, turn right and bend over the railing to the next balcony to have a partial sea view. We asked for a better room, and fortunately we... More

The hotel is upon the hill overlooking the beautiful Bay of silence in Sestri Levante. The hotel staff first brought us up to the 5th floor to see the beautiful terrace overlooking the Bay. Yes, it was beautiful. Then he showed us some of the other common rooms which were also nice. Then he showed us our reserved room. What... More

The Vis a Vis claims a great restaurant and terrific view of both the Bay of Silence and the Bay of Fables. I can vouch for the view from the fifth floor Terrazzo Bar; it's splendid at dusk with a glass of wine, your honey or your notebook. However the rooms on floors 1, 2, 3 and 4 feel small... More

The best part of this hotel was its amazing 5th floor terrace with a view over Sestri Levante and the bay. It also has a good breakfast, a swimming pool, friendly attentive staff and a kids outside play area adjoining the outside bar area. However, the rest of our experience of the hotel was disappointing. The rooms were tiny, especially... More

The hotel is OK overall, my only cmplaints are: - the internet connection doesn't work particuparly well, since you have to re-login every time you leave it idle for a minute or so. - the rooms are small - the deco/music of the entrance tunnel makes you feel like you are in a horror movie, and it makes the whole...

Our 4 night stay at Vis a Vis was a highlight of my first visit to Italy. I traveled with the Wisconsin Alumini Association, and the last night of our tour was my birthday. I was surprised with a beautiful cake, flowers, and serenaded at dinner. It was a perfect birthday. The staff, hotel, and location are 5 star. Can't... More
