Beach Hotels in Montaretto

We stayed here for 5 days and absolutely loved it. The location was exactly what we were hoping for – a small, authentic Ligurian village overlooking the sea, with all the charm and local life you could wish for. Just below the house there’s a little bar where locals gather to chat, have drinks, enjoy dinner, and even dance a bit. It was wonderful to feel part of the village atmosphere. The apartment itself was really nice, fully furnished, and well equipped – it’s actually the first time we truly enjoyed cooking in a B&B. The terrace was a highlight, with sweeping views of the Ligurian Sea and unforgettable sunsets. The hosts were fantastic, always quick to reply and full of useful tips. They even welcomed our little Pomeranian with a water bowl and a treat, which was such a thoughtful touch. For those who like adventure, there’s a trail leading down to a secluded part of the coast with direct access to a great snorkeling spot. The path is a bit steep and not for the faint-hearted, but with good shoes it’s definitely worth it. All in all, a wonderful stay – great hosts, a perfect location, and an experience we’ll remember. Highly recommended!

The location of the apartment is truly exceptional—it is part of a residential complex built in the 1970s. The design cleverly incorporates all the traditional architectural features of the region: houses built upon houses, where one’s roof becomes another's terrace, hidden passages, and narrow alleys—with the key difference being that here, everything is intentionally and thoughtfully planned. The apartment itself is spacious, featuring a breathtaking balcony and a large outdoor loggia, perfect for enjoying fine food while gazing out at the endless horizon.

Luca was happy to lend us some plates and basic cutlery so we could make some quick sandwiches for our hikes. The place is very close (7 min walking) to the station and that's convenient.

The breakfast was the best we have ever had at a B&B!! From creative cereals to anchovies to homemade brioches to all kinds of coffee and tea to fresh vegetables and to luncheon meats!! Different every day. Carla and Sylvia are wonderful hosts and so helpful. The location could not be better - just a short walk from train station. Restaurants very close as was the waterfront.

The mountains in the area and the breakfast are amazing.

Fantastic accommodations, pool. Everything was great!

Review for Sesta Terra Nature Spa Escape in Framura, Italy Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Framura, Italy, Sesta Terra Nature Spa Escape offers a serene retreat that perfectly blends the beauty of the coast and the majesty of the mountains. The azure waters of the Ligurian Sea shimmer with a mesmerizing hue, creating a picturesque backdrop that is nothing short of enchanting. Despite the chilly and rainy weather during our stay, the hospitality at Sesta Terra was exceptional. We were graciously upgraded from our glamping tents to a luxurious suite cabin, complete with a private hot tub and patio. This thoughtful gesture made us feel incredibly welcome and at home. The spa facilities were nothing short of magnificent. The Turkish baths, sauna, cold water bucket dip, and hot tub provided a rejuvenating experience that left us feeling refreshed and pampered. The restaurant, with its jaw-dropping views, served fresh and delicious food that tantalized our taste buds. Our waiter, Philippo, provided impeccable service, making us feel right at home. The dinner was magical, with the food, the view, and the service coming together to create an unforgettable experience. The staff, fluent in Spanish, English, and Italian, ensured a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, our stay at Sesta Terra was amazing, and I highly recommend this nature spa escape to anyone seeking a tranquil and luxurious retreat.

Everything. Clean, comfortable and spacious Lavender room with a terrace overlooking the surrounding valley and hills, and a partial view of Levanto. The gracious shuttle into town. The breakfast and most especially the kindness of Mario and Ilaria who run the place with such love and care. Also their son who does the lovely boat rides to visit the Cinq Terre villages from the sea.

The room was spacious and comfortable, with a balcony overlooking the valley. The bathroom was a good size, though the shower was a bit small. Breakfast was average, but the staff went out of their way to make guests feel welcome. The restaurant and bar are highly recommended, especially after exploring Cinque Terre. The location is truly magnificent, with the train station easily accessible by the hotel’s shuttle, and the hotel facilities are excellent for relaxing. Special mention goes to Frankie at the reception desk—his knowledge of the area, proactive attitude, and natural warmth made a lasting impression.

What a special place. You feel removed from the world, transported to a little village, and invited in by its residents. I've traveled extensively, and this will go down as one of my favorite stays.

The town and beach were beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay so very much. The access to the beach and proximity to the train station were fantastic. The breakfast was excellent.

The beach is nearby and public transport is just close to the hotel

Such a welcoming sweet hotel - like an oasis at the end of a long hot drive.

The view was magnificent! Every day waking up to the view of the mountains and the sea, surrounded by virgin nature. It didn’t feel real! The stuff was friendly and helpful!

Breakfast was delicious with every option imaginable. Staff was thoughtful and attentive, options were plentiful, ranging from croissants and cake, to granola and cereal, to eggs, to yogurt and fresh fruit, to fresh juices and coffee, to freshly baked breads and cheeses and prosciutto. They even helped us make take away sandwiches for our lunch the first day with the leftovers from our breakfast. I cannot rave about the food and the service enough.
