Grand Hotel dei Castelli in Sestri Levante.
Guests arrive by coastal drive to this clifftop hotel where Mediterranean views open across the Ligurian Sea.
The journey to Grand Hotel dei Castelli sets the tone—a winding approach reveals terraced gardens, a private beach access, and rooms where windows frame water and sky.
From arrival through departure, guests experience the seamless rhythm of a dedicated hotel property where accommodations, dining, and ceremonies exist under one roofline.
The worst possible hotel management has taken over. The location and hotel are beautiful and we used to like the hotel but under the new management it is no longer a pleasant place to stay. As a case in business studies it is interesting to see how the new owner mismanages a place that used to be very much OK. Particularly funny is her private table at breakfast that guests cannot sit at even when free. Staff suffers under micromanagement and strange rules and regulations. Other reviews on Booking and elsewhere provide ample examples. Best to avoid until management changes.
