Our stay was 6 nights in May 2024. Room A2. The staff was friendly, helpful, and cheerful. The locale, high on a hill, was breathtaking as were the views. The outdoor pool is the top "floor." Quiet, superb views, clean, warm. The restaurant/bar has excellent food, wine, cocktails. The daily breakfast has so many choices it was impossible to taste everything. Our room was small (compared to hotels in the U.S.) yet comfortable. The shower stall was is first-rate - roomy with a "rain shower"head in the ceiling. The town is quaint and not filled with tourists, at least it was not in May. If we lived in Italy, and not Illinois, the Hotel Vis a Vis would be a regular holiday venue for us. Skip the crowded Cinque Terre and choose Sestri Levante instead. To the Hotel Staff: well done everyone. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.
