The location and beauty of Vis a Vis is 10/10. Sestri is such a charming oittle fishing town and the hotel sits atop the hill perfectly overlooking the water. Very clean space however the pool vacuum is alwahs running during the day making it a bit difficult to enjoy that space with the cord running across the pool. Breakfast from the panoramic restaurant was also a great start to the day. We didn't have a chance to have dinner there though - next time for sure.

We had the best week at Vis a Vis for our honeymoon. We cannot recommend it highly enough! Incredible location with views breathtaking views that you can’t even imagine. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond, especially the Restaurant Olimpo staff. We highly recommend booking a room with a balcony or terrace and ordering the room service breakfast. Very accessible to private and public beaches, a very quick walk. The hotel can help you reserve chairs at a beach club or you can go to the public I beach if you want. We can’t wait to go back!
