Hotel Villa Pagoda, Genoa, Italy

The town itself was a little run down as we drove through and we missed the turning for the hotel on our first attempt. As it was a one way street we had to re-circle the town and try again, but it wasn't a hardship. However, our surprise when we entered the complex was a fantastic one. Villa Pagoda was an oasis in comparison to the streets we were in seconds before. An impressive and imposing building with lots of charm, warm friendly staff made our stay amazing. My six year old had the pool to himself and the room was comfortable and luxurious. The one area where the hotel must really be complimented though is the kitchen. Wow! The food was amazing and they even especially catered for my son to ensure he had something he liked. There is a train line that runs along the bottom of the property, but even sitting on the patio for dinner, this wasn't intrusive. We certainly didn't mind and the cicadas made more noise than the trains did.

Excellent place for a family vacation.

The most amazing staff and Hotel on our vacation. They let us check in around 10 am when we arrived. The location and grounds were beautiful. After exploring the area for hours we took showers and sat by the pool under the outdoor cabana. We ordered a bottle of wine from Marco. A few minutes later he brought us some pizza, sandwiches, and squares. He was so polite and said that when you order a bottle of wine we bring you appetizers. We finished the bottle and ordered more wine and the process continued. Breakfast was amazing. It looked like it was just a continental breakfast at first. The waitress asked us if we would like some eggs or pancakes. We ordered scrambled and caramel pancakes. The waitress looked at us and spoke with a heavy Italian accent Try the eggs benedict it's more beautiful. It was the best breakfast experience of my life. The rest of the trip we would look at each other and say its more beautiful. We loved this place.

A fantastic hotel with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Stayed with my 17 year old daughter and we loved the pool and walking along the coastal path to the little beach (one way) and the lovely Nervi harbour (in the other direction) Lots of restaurants to choose from. Need to use mosquito repellent, we were badly bitten on the first night :( Would love to come back and explore the area.

An excellent place, living up to its prices, a rare parking in the Genoa hotels. They kindly explained and helped going to the nearby train which is an easy reach for the city centre, once one has overcome the Italian trains tickets. The foot way to the station is by itself a pleasure shore walk.
