Pros: Excellent location, slightly quirky but definitely worth it. In a word, unique.

Pros: Staff was nice, property was clean. We loved it

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Pros: Very friendly atmosphere! We received great pleasure! In the villa there are 6 rooms. Below is the famous Pizzeria, 11th out of the top 15 Italian pizzerias! Thank for madam Gabriella!

Pros: The owners are super friendly and helpful. Free bikes provided. Great location for walking or cycling down to the waterfront.

Cons: Sofa not so comfortable. Could be some more screening between the adjacent properties (currently not so private).

Pros: highly recommended

Pros: Great host lovely agritourismo...

Pros: Friendly helpful owner greeted us at the property. Lovely stay in a great area of Diano Marina. Spacious apartment with great views. Clean and practical bathroom.

Cons: We had neighbours who were very loud until late every night. No kettle in the kitchen. Someone must have stayed there with a pet, we found some dog/cat hair in the apartment, which was a problem because we are allergic to animals.

Pros: Great breakfast, choice of hot and cold, plenty to choose from. Excellent! Staff genuinely friendly and very helpful. Very relaxing lovely place to relax.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Breakfast really good with a grate variety of food sweet and salty, well served to the staff; lunch various with two menu'

Cons: nothing wrong

Pros: Very nice rooms with great views. Excellent breakfast buffet. Relaxing pool area with little bar surrounded by olive trees. Attractive landscape with quiet little villages nearby.

Pros: The rooms and the staff snd the owner

Cons: The dining toom

Pros: Very nice location overlooking the sea. Short drive to Diano Marina which is great for the evening. The property is clean and the rooms with a balcony have a great view. The staff are attentive and quick to address your needs particularly at breakfast. The pool area is a nice set up.

Cons: The rooms were not sound proof, you can literally hear everything the neighbours do and from 7.30-8.00 there is constant noise from the breakfast room which makes it difficult to relax. The pool area is great but became a play zone for kids during our stay. Whilst it is normal to have kids in the pool and enjoying themselves, they do not have to be running around the pool disturbing other guests. The pool rules should be enforced better to enable people to relax by the pool. The food in my opinion was poor, although their were a number of options at breakfast the food basically lacked taste. In the evening if you take the menu the food is brought to table in trays very much canteen style. One night we had fish, hard potatoes and broccoli without sauce - charging 25 per head we expect better.

Pros: Excellent service, friendly and reliable staff. Very convenient location.

Cons: Breakfast could be prolomged to up until 11:00.

Pros: The views. Also the way the food was presented ... not on the plate but showed off theatrically before carving! Fun. A really nice pool area and again views. Really helpful multi lingual staff.

Cons: There was nothing we could fault. Maybe we are easily pleased ... not normally. So it is up to your visitor profile.

Pros: Great location for the area, in the foothills above Diano Marina with view of the Med. Very clean, comfortable rooms, good food in restaurant with fair pricing for food and drinks, very friendly and helpful staff. There is a dedicated off road parking area, and the guest area around the pool area is particularly nice because it is set at various levels on the hill side.

Pros: Wonderful room and bathroom.

Pros: The rooms were elegant and clean with tastefully. Personal was kind and gently. Landscape was marvelous. The food was excellent, even gluteenfree!!

Pros: Great location

Cons: There was no soap on the bathroom

Pros: Staff very helpful.

Pros: Archetype family owned hotel. Owners treat you like a friend and are very generous. Service is personalized. Meals onsite are very good. Beach is calm with toys for kids. Nice facilities for kids/babies.

Cons: Understandably, it is not always easy to communicate/integrate if you don't speak Italian.

Pros: Great breakfast on the tarace. Balkoon.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Fabulous experience - all good

Cons: Nothing

Cons: breakfast at 8 is too late

Pros: The staff was so friendly, the location is in the center of the place, you can make your room completely dark during the day

Cons: Mass tourism hotel, looks like a typical vacation hotel with lots of bright and cheap colors, it has a funny smell inside, the room was not too comfortable, the mattresses and pillows could be much more fluffy, the interior is far from luxury

Pros: The people, the location and all facilities just met all expectations. It's not the fanciest hotel but you feel at home and relaxed instantly. Breakfast was also amazing every morning. you can also check out at 12pm!

Pros: The view from our balcony.

Cons: The hotel decor was tacky.

Pros: Very nice hotel, staying here for the second time.

Pros: Everything was just great!

Pros: Absolutely lovely little hotel in a pretty little resort town on a lovely part of the Italian Coast. A very warm personal welcome from the Owners, absolutely charming and very informative. Rooms beautiful, parking behind the hotel is secured with a barrier and worked well, connected by cctv to the Reception. Lovely breakfast. Comfortable rooms, with a balcony. just loved it. A 20 minute walk to the main area for a huge choice of bars and restaurants.

Pros: We enjoyed our stay at this cozy, family owned hotel, breakfast was good, everything was clean and there was only a short walk to the restaurants and shops in Diano Marina. The staff was very nice and the hotel owner gave us very useful information about beaches, restaurants, day tours etc. On her recommendation, we made a very enjoyable and informative day tour to Monaco with Diana Tours.

Cons: When I made the booking (booking.com) there was wrong information given about the size of the superior double room, it turned out to be much smaller than expected. Now this information has been changed on the website.

Pros: Lovely clean hotel, very central. Friendly and welcoming.

Cons: nothing, everything was great.

Pros: Lovely hosts, supberb location.

Pros: All the staff were extremly helpful and the breakfast was lovely!

Pros: Perfect clean hotel with great and friendly staff! Location is direct in front of the beach and nearby the center of the town. Clean rooms with good air conditioning. Breakfast is good and you can ask for extra's like scrambled eggs etc. Always time for a chat and a laugh with the owners Fam. Masarin. We will come back for sure.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The people .... all so friendly and helpful. The whole hotel is spotless ... efficient air con in the room, good consistent shower. Nice breakfast, plenty of choice, would definitely return.

Cons: Nothing not to like.

Pros: The location is perfect. The rooms are clean with balconies. The staff are amazing. The breakfast and the area where you sit truly fabulous...

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Mostly seaview rooms, easy access to the water, the city and walking/biking tracks.

Cons: Surprising and disappointing that the staf, besides the reception, isn't bilingual. With a lot of international guests is it "a must"....

Pros: Excellent location and wonderful staff - we had a great time at Hotel Arc Ciel. The staff were polite and helpful from the moment we arrived. Our rooms had a side view of the ocean but it was equally as stunning. Our room was pretty and bathrooms very clean. Wifi worked great. Breakfast on the patio was super special and HUGE with lots of options. Meats, cheeses, pastries and fresh fruits and coffee. Will absolutely try to stay again on my return visit to one of my favorite beaches.

Pros: location

Cons: Staff made you feel they do you a favor because you stay in their hotel. Breakfast room on the water we were not allowed to use the window seats although it was open and not reserved. Bathroom shower leaked and small. Aircon didnt work. Will never stay there again.

Pros: The breakfast extra continental buffet with gorgeous local products (aka a creamy ricotta cheese and handmade confitures; handmade yummy cheesecake; daily fresh bread and seasonal fruits) and above the average local recipes for dinner. The private wooden deck pier on the sea with easy access metal ladder to the water is a must, where you can enjoy the voice of the sea and the seabirds in the silent environment... The extreme courtesy of our hosts (from the cleaning leady to the bartender, passing through the owners) gives the visitor the pleasure of a family hotel with the adds on of the confort of a luxury one.

Pros: The food was excellent’ the staff were very helpful.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Pros: friendly staff, very good location, free bike rental, varied breakfast and good quality

Cons: double room a bit small for two adults - would have preferred two queen bed configuration.

Pros: The hotel has a beautiful terrace with access to the sea, it is quiet and away from the crowded tourist places! Breakfast served with seaview - a good start of the day. We will return to this place !

Pros: The bed and pillows were extra comfy and we were upgraded to a sea view. It could not have been better.

Pros: Amazing terrace and service!

Cons: Our room was very small but anyway we spent most tine outside so we didnt mind.

Pros: The house the region

Pros: Great Staff, superb and clean rooms, nice food & drinks, only the private beaches were expensive and not so comfortable, the rooftop accomodation from the hotel was more relaxed and comfortable to lie in or out the sun

Cons: there should be more possibility to lie on public beaches so you can choose yourself where you wanted to sit or lie down...

Pros: Excellent restaurant. Lovely owners. Very clean rooms! The hotel looks over the Mediterranean sea and the weather happened to be perfect - end of summer sunshine with a hint of autumn.

Pros: Very Friendly Staff, Breakfast and lunch are Perfect!

Pros: Everything was nice.

Pros: Ligging

Cons: Alles was oké

Pros: Excellent service, single person room very good, only downfall no swimming pool. Would recommend to others

Cons: Nothing that really stood out, excellent value for Money

Pros: Hotel was excellent and particularly the food. Very good chef .

Cons: On day of departure parking not available after check out at 11 am. Lucky to find parking close by on the street.

Cons: Very pricey compared to neighbouring properties (as it transpired). Old and tired. Owners have tried to update it on a piece meal basis. They should look at what the hotel next door has done to update itself.

Pros: Everything was great. Just 1 small thing. Buffet for the breakfast was smaller and I was missing cheese variety (Babybel and spread cheese is not a real cheese for me, especially in Italy)

Pros: Very clean. Great staff

Pros: Location, quite place, nice people at the receiption, good breakfest

Cons: The only disadvantage is the fact that inner walls are too narrow and you can hear almost all what is going in the soridore.

Pros: Very good place for children

Pros: The hotel is located right at the edge of Diano Marina and San Bartolomeo. So about 15 minutes walk to Diano Marina centro and to the port of San Bartolomeo. Then a nice 40 minute walk along the sea to Cervo centro if you want to explore that charming medieval town. Very quite area with a serviced beach down the road a couple of minutes which looks like it would be nice for the summer with rock water breaks that might be good for snorkeling. There is a nice upscale bar down at the beach. There is a supermarket if want to get beverages for your room. The kind staff can arrange a taxi from the new and distant train station which costs 10 Euro.The room was very comfortable with big, modern bathroom. The WiFi was fast, reliable and easy to connect to. The staff are very nice, helpful and speak good English. The kind gentle man that served the clients did not speak much English but communicated well and was very kind, pleasant and efficient. I had full board and the food was very good. Always a choice of fish or meat. I had both and all was really good. At breakfast, the kind server makes your choice on an espresso machine like at a bar. There are a few bars and restaurants around unless you walk to San Bartolomeo along the pleasant boardwalk for 10 minutes or into Diano Marina but the food is so good and a good value, I would not eat anyplace else. The only thing that bothered me was that I was given a room at the back of the building and the balcony was off the bathroom!!. Request a room on the front of the hotel. I was there for 4 nights by myself on the way to Nice but hope to return with my wife for a week next year. I am an older man that likes to walk around. If you want to disco at Diano Marina you should plan on a taxi back to the hotel

Cons: Beverages except the excellent sparkling water is an extra charge. The house wine I am sure is "vino alla spina", wine from a tap, sweet and slightly bubbly and not very good. It is 8 Euro for a 1/2 liter. I could not finish my 1/2 litter. Buy a bottle of wine or stick with the water. I ordered Barbera d'Alba DOC which was good for 13 Euro but usually I stick to house wine for budget reasons as I travel for months not weeks. So it would be nice if the hotel had a nice local, good wine instead of what is now available. In no way would that prevent me from booking with my wife next year

Pros: Everything were perfect. The ladies at the reception were very friendly and the room was very comfortable.

Pros: Extremely warm and friendly place, hosts make you feel you are at home. Very nice hand made bed linen, everything is new/newly refurbished, hosts are very much enthusiasts of what they are doing and very nice peoples. Our bedroom had a lovely see view. Will be definitely back!

Pros: The rooms were OK beds were good very clean

Cons: The couple that ran the b and b were clueless,they did not stock the room with tea bags Tec. The breakfast was poor and they didn't understand ushopeless

Pros: The owners were so friendly, they made us feel completely welcome and at home. They even picked us up and dropped us off at the train station, which was greatly appreciated. They went above and beyond in helping us with our travel plans etc.

Cons: Nothing, it was all good.

Pros: Friendly and generous hosts Impeccable room with superb terrace Comprehensive breakfast

Pros: Excellent view from the hotel, excellent possibilities to explore Liguria from Diano Marina. The hotel has a porter that kindly helps with the luggage both at check-in and check-out. Beach facilities included in the price - sunbeds,...

Cons: The beach towels can be rented at an additional cost of 3.5 EUR per day. Both the pool and the beach clise at 7 pm, which is quite early for end July/ early August

Pros: Nice pool area. The breakfast chef, serving eggs of all kinds was really friendly and helpful.

Cons: Some of the staff members were rude and unprofessional Wasn’t really a beach, rather gravels covered with sand next to a large stone breakwater. Property was a bit distant from restaurants in town.

Pros: The location and facilities. Very nice evening meal and choice for breakfast

Cons: Parking. The hotel is limited with space for parking, so you need to allow time for cars to be moved around, so that you can get your car out.

Pros: The kitchen, especially evening meal menu The pool, except leaving the robot in it while people were bathing

Cons: Pool safety

Pros: Great views. Lovely swimming pool and garden.

Cons: Quite a walk into Diano Marina town.

Pros: The location. The view from the restaurante. The staff at the beach area. The room is comfortable.

Cons: There were not too much places in the car park. We were lucky that we even get one. The waiter wasn’t kind at all. We have chosen from the al a carte menu (It would be better if we chose the menu) and the waiter has brought My husband a total different dish and not the one he has ordered. The amount of the dish was really small.

Pros: Perfect stay. Very clean. Very comfortable.

Cons: i Will not recommend for only couples. Its more for families. Very kids friendly.

Pros: The staff ,location and facilities

Cons: Nothing of note

Pros: The hotel is very clean, roomy, and we liked the cruise-ship-like interieur. The staff was very friendly, helpful and spoke french, english and german. The garden with the olive trees and the pool was very calm - a great place for relaxing.

Cons: The beach is a "typical" italien with umbrella next to umbrella. Not what we hoped for. Breakfast was ok, we enjoyed the fresh waffles and omlett, but the rest was only average. Dinner wasn't bad either, but too pricy for the quality.

Pros: Staff .facilities. Location

Cons: Nothing of note

Pros: View from the room, hotel staff was nice, breakfast was very good

Cons: The bed was uncomfortable, old mattress which was bigger than the bed base. Walls were quite thin so we could hear our neighbor snoring. No fridge in the room.

Pros: All those days were awesome!!!

Cons: We were there just 10 day!!!

Pros: Everything was perfect. Very delicious food, very kind staff

Pros: Nice and clean and the staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful and also spoke English which helped us as sadly we know no Italian! Food was nice too :)

Cons: We weren’t aware that the private beach would cost €15 for a deckchair at the back but we paid it anyway. The shower had a tendency to run hot and cold at will & not enough pillows but these were trivial things and we would recommend a stay here :)

Pros: Location, dinner and service excellent (Maitre and staff)

Pros: Very good and kind personal. Food was excellent. Nice building, Clean and the swimmingpool and the beach was good. Thw shuttlebus was extragood. I loved this place, because they made to me very good gluteenfree food!!

Pros: Great view, good pool. Delicious dinner.Breakfast is OK,

Cons: Cafe for breakfast is awful. Instant cafe in 4 stars hotel in Italy is something new. One mattress is very uncomfortable in room 207 .

Pros: The location

Cons: Dinner was disappointing

Pros: You can enjoy a very beautiful view in the balcony. Very nice dinner and kind staff.

Pros: Located in a natural 5 km bay on the west coast of the Ligur Sea. The Sea is mostly flat, well protected from strong winds. It is clear and transparent, the sunshine plays it's game on the waves providing an unboreable attraction during swimming. The Hotel is situated 50-60 meters above the Sea offering a breathtaking Sea view. The rooms are mostly ESE directed, the balconies are shaded in the afternoon (thx God). Shuttle bus service to the beach or cc. 3-5 minutes walk. Swimming pool is 1 minute walk. Sunambrella and sunbeds are provided on both locations. The food, drinks, chef, waiters, recepcionists, the beach and swimming pool staff is fantastic! Never had such good food before!!! 4 course diner, salmon and all kind of fruits of the Sea, beafsteak, mushroom, cakes, etc. They compete with french chefs and are unbeatable!!! It's a truly 4 stars hotel! Pets are welcome too with limited access to the beach. On the 1st day we turned up at 10 Am, our room was ready and we were let in. Got an extra sunbed on the balcony too... Pets are welcome with limited access to the beach and the restaurant, but everything can be solved... Excellent services/price ratio, in my opinion it is a MUST TRY! We spent our best holiday here and shall return!

Cons: Sun shading could be better with outside shades from the top. It is with non-transparent curtains inside that let the sun heat also in.

Pros: Everything was superb, candlelight dinner very good,

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: The terrace. Very spacious balconies.

Cons: Room too small for a large suitcase.

Pros: Very clean staff excellent food really good

Pros: Spectacular views! Very attentative staff. Excellent breakfast.

Pros: The location as it is near the back so swimming in the sea is an option.

Cons: First day they did not clean our room at all. Forgotten? Then we paid a lot more through bookings.com than was written on the list inside the room which stated 185 Euro for HB and we paid 190 Euro plus 30 euros breakfast per night. Once cannot help feeling a bit cheated.

Pros: Beautiful see view! Very nice room with two balcons. Great pool. Location very well. Privat beach, free sunbed.

Cons: Bike to rent would be great.

Pros: It was central, very clean, with friendly staff. The beech area was excellent and very convenient.

Cons: I think the hotel could do more In terms of some for of entertainment some nights, It has a lovely and relaxing sitting area where there is a piano and if they had a good pianist it would encourage people to return after their meals.

Pros: The staff ,location and facilities are exveptional

Cons: Nothing of note

Pros: The room was extremly clean. Very nice staff. We got a free ride to the station. The roof top bar is the best place in Diano Marina. Thanks for the good time!

Pros: The hotel is a little outdated

Pros: Clean and comfy in a good location

Pros: Very friendly staff. Rich and very good breakfast. Beaches and restaurants at 5 minutes walk and the place is outside of the noisy city center. The chance to use the parking in a crowded area.

Pros: Location of the hotel / direct access to the beach / free sunbeds / snack bar / quiet

Cons: The toiletries could be better

Pros: The property was beautiful and the balcony’s provided a beautiful view the meditereanean

Cons: A bit too noisy due to the nearby main street and a building site

Pros: Great little hotel. The staff very very friendly and in particular the owner is just a lovely guy and willing to do anything for you.

Pros: Balcony and beach

Cons: Beds were like a hard wooden board Bathroom and furniture are very old style Check out at 10am when still breakfast time and pressure to get put of the hotel by 10. Breakfast of very poor quality Very unpleasant and rough reception staff. Lots of money for not even a 3 star quality hotel

Pros: Breakfast was very good -incredible croissants. Junior suite was large on top floor. Only sound was the ocean and some wind due to season. Bath and separate shower which wasn’t large but worked well. Open parking in front garden - easy to enter & exit. Surprise - evening meal in dining room was varied nightly, good quality & professionally served. Local wine a treat at very reasonable price. Hotel discounted dinner as we ate there each night after first night experience was positive. Outside hotel the beach was nice. Additionally the walk to local shopping and bars etc was reasonable distance and safe one block off main road.

Pros: Location view of the beach from hotel room lovely breakfast wide range to choose from very good al round

Cons: Having to leave

Pros: Good location to the beach. Good location to the town.

Cons: More choice at breakfast is needed. The eggs had gone and were not replenished.

Pros: Brand new, clean and well equipped rooms, good breakfast.

Cons: -

Pros: fab hotel .rooms spotless and bathroom to die for .car parking good and reasonable. 2 min utes from beach, bars and restaurants ,hotel staff very helpful .only slight fault breakfast not a lot of selection ,mainly cakes and biscuits but coffee good

Cons: breakfast ..not a great selection

Pros: Beautiful property including the pool and great location.

Cons: Unfortunately the property is run down needing maintenance within the facilities themselves as well as the landscape around the property. The beach was really not a beach but more like a lake. A jetty is in front of the property utilized as a breakwater barrier and therefore the water is more like a lake. The beach itself looks like the sand is brought in to accommodate the travelers. My wife and I found a nice beach in Imperia that we went to both days during our visit. Their beach was not worth it. During checkin the lady was not very helpful on providing information about the pool and services. Could not even get a cocktail at the pool.

Pros: What a great relaxing, personal location. Anny is worthwhile going back to. And only a few minutes walking from the center.. and the combination with the pool area is perfect. Grazzi mille!

Pros: Anni is a lovely host and so is her personnel. It feels just like home at Anni's place and one feels really welcome. The breakfast terrace is absolutely lovely.

Cons: To find the place is rather tough and one needs to call to get the gates opened the first time. Then getting out, right into the street requires someone to check the traffic. The hotel sign is very small but when you are at the gas station, you are close-by. The price for the season is rather high and the bath room could be a nudge more functional but all worked well.

Pros: We loved the warm welcome, beautiful home, our elegant room with high ceiling and lovely balcony, modern bathroom, and wonderful view of the garden, pool, and the sea.

Cons: The mattress was too soft for our taste and the breakfast was just okay.

Pros: Warm welcome from Anny who took care of us on arrival. We stayed in a suite. The place is "old style" and Anny lives in the basement. There is a poolarea on the premises which is really big and nice. You also find a snackbar and if you want you can dip your toes in the Mediterranian sea. Breakfast is simple but nice, we got cheese day 2 after asking for it. Not many guests, so calm and nice. Parking in the yard. A bit hard to find the gate.

Cons: Lots of mosquitos in July when we visited. However we got plug in mosquito thing that worked quite well. You could not sit on the balcony though. Diano Marina is filled with tourists. I could return to Annys but 2 days in Diano Marina was enough.
