    I wasn’t prepared for the steep stairs inside but appreciated help getting my suitcase up them.

    Historic location but also within walking distance of railway station. Breakfast was very generous though a bit slow

    Noisy room because big highway just outside. We ordered a big room but god smaller one because the big one was being renovated, still we had to pay for the price of the big room as we booked through booking.com and they couldn’t change our booking. At the breakfast there wasn’t enough tables to seat all the guests so HD to share small table with strangers or leave quickly. Only one staff member having to take care of everything and being overloaded with work.

    Beautiful decoration, nicely located in charming old Center of the town.

    We were not the biggest fans of what we were served - pastries, cakes etc. To echo other reviews, it is very hard to find, and a lot of steep stairs. I would suggest ignoring the google maps recommended route and instead search for directions to the church close by instead, and it is just near to there. Be careful on the cobbles outside!!

    The room was nice although it was quite dark, and we struggled to work the lock in the door. The bed was very. comfy!! The balcony was lovely where we had breakfast. We were a bit worried about coming back at night because it's a dark street but thankfully it was lit.

    The shower is pretty small and there are lots of stairs, so if you are disabled or brining a heavy luggage it will be challenging to go up

    The hotel is right in the city centre, the room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was incredible and the staff super friendly

    The facility is three stories high with narrow stairs - so luggage can be a little problematic.

    This is a hidden gem - literally. The location is a little obscure, but the owner did a great job of giving us directions. It is located in a tiny pedestrian only alley and you cannot get a vehicle close. But after you get into the facility is it remarkable. Very quaint old brick and stone work have been creatively weaved into a modern design. Our bathroom had a unique feature - a plexiglass floor over an arched brick floor. It was close to most of the attractions of Ventimiglia. Excellent value for money. Well worth the effort finding the place.

    Refill of fridge. Some beverages already in there, at friendly price. But would have appreciated if refilled after use...

    Great atmosphere; authentic, historic building in the old part of the city. If you want state of the art, modern & luxurious, don't go here. If you want authenticity, character: yes! Facilities are clean, functional and comfortable. Nice breakfast on roof terrace. Friendly host. Top location. Air-conditioned; daily towel service.

    Difficult to find. Tricky parking. See earlier comments. Lots of steep stairs.

    Great location. It is a very short walk away from the cathedral. Park as close to the cathedral as you can. Walk to the little cathedral Square. Vico Olivi is a tiny street down from the cathedral and restaurant painted green. Good restaurant. Beautifully renovated apartment. Good breakfast on a beautiful rooftop terrace. Comfortable bed. Good bathroom /shower.

    It was not really easy to find and the staff was quite late for checking in. If you travel by car make sure you will drive up to the cathedral.

    This B&B is really wonderful. The decoration is very charming and it really feels like a home. The breakfast on the roof terrace is just stunning. They have thought about all the details like beautiful tableware. A great experience!

    We walked from the train station and the maps took us an incredibly steep way up. Would recommend taking a taxi if you’re coming from the train station instead. I also didn’t realise that the host required to know the time we were arriving in order to check-in (as it is more a b&b than hotel. We were out of reception for awhile so weren’t able to organise the timing – we had to wait at the front door for over 30 minutes before we could get settled in our room. The staff could have been a bit friendlier as I felt a little unwelcome during our stay.

    The room was lovely as well as the communal areas. Everything was lovingly decorated and bathroom facilities were clean and modern. The restaurant near the hotel was fantastic. Great for exploring the old town of Ventimiglia.

    Liked all of it… if anything needed to be added, perhaps some tips and guides to main things to do and recommended restaurants and cafes. I would definitively trust the manager’s advice.

    Fantastic location and decor of both the room and the communal areas of the tastefully done B&B. Stunning little terrace with views to the old city’s cathedral where a tasty Italian breakfast is served. Easy access to the beach via the elevator.

    For some reason, Apple Maps had trouble finding the location and kept sending us walking in circles when we used the name of the B&B. But once we input the actual address, we found it.

    adorable little b&b on the old part of Vintimiglia. A warm and accommodating host. Very cool property with beautiful rooftop terrace where breakfast was served.

    We liked everything at the B&B itself

    We loved the room! Very quaint, traditional features mixed with lovely modern bathroom and small modern kitchen. Bedroom was super cute and bed was comfortable. This was a very unique little B&B with lovely roof top where we had a delightful breakfast. The decor was very fitting. Our room also had lovely comfortable sitting chair and small sofa. Security of building and room was very good. Location was great in the old town. Although we wouldn’t recommend Ventimiglia itself (was quiet dirty and not really what we expected - we wouldn’t go again). This place was nice to stay in

    Breakfast was the same every day for 3 days and consists mostly of sweet things and bread. On the last day we asked to have breakfast at 7 am because we needed to catch the train, but it was not allowed although there are only 3-4 guest at the time so it was not exactly clear why it is hard to do. There were not utensils to cook in the kitchen area apart from kettle, pot and 1 fork. We could take it from the common kitchen but it was also poorly equipped. If you plan to properly cook, it will be hard to do. Check in is slightly hectic and consist of several calls to the owner’s phone and waiting in front of the door (it is not a hotel with reception or something). Not horrible, but could be more client-friendly.

    We stayed in a nice and stylish unit consisting of bedroom and living room with a small kitchen space. Well designed and looks renovated. Breakfast on a beautiful terrace, amazing cutlery, great views around, amazing flowers everywhere. Location is beautiful old town of Ventimiglia, but be ready to go uphill for quite a bit. It was not an issue for us, but might be for some people. Train station is 10 min walk, the beach is around 7 min walk. We fell in love with the town of Ventimiglia and can highly recommend it to everyone looking for something authentic Italian.
