Kristina - Imperia

The Villa Maria is excellently kept in an old Italian Villa. The rooms are clean, with cool antique furniture and the staff is attentive. Be aware that it is a European hotel- so the showers are in the tub with no curtain, and breakfast is the same every day- but it is at the top of what you should expect unless you are staying in a super-luxe resort type place. We stayed there for 10 days and loved every second. It is a truly special place. Be warned as well- for those with limited mobility, the hotel is at the top of a steep hill, my 70 year old mother occasionally found the walk home a little challenging, but was able to push through- though people in wheelchairs or severely limited might want to stay somewhere not on a hill. Otherwise, it's a great way to work off all the pasta and wine you will have while in town.

wonderful and helpful staff. Nice breakfast buffet. Room service beverages outrageously overpriced. Unique, interesting and authentic decor. Nothing easily accessible for those with physical limitations.

This hotel is beautiful, not just the lobby but the rooms too. The public parking across the road, the lack of a close great beach and one unhelpful receptionist are the only reason I dont score it a 5 across the board. I would stay here again.

We only stayed one night. It was easy to find because the hotel included excellent directions. The hotel is located on the 3rd floor up very steep steps. We were relieved that the fellow who checked us in also carried our bags. This is a step back in history, lots of antiques and hidden stairways. Wifi was only available on the hotel patios. We loved the quaintness and charm, located in the Old Town, we were in the heart of an Italian neighborhood. The room was large, clean and comfortable, with a small modern bathroom.. Breakfast was included and served on a lovely patio. It was coffee and lots of sweets. Could have used some protein. The staff were very helpful. Parking was in a lot outside the town wall. If you are looking for an unusual and memorable stay, this is it.
