Hotel Monte Rosa

The Hotel Monte Rosa is the "Secret Dream", the fruit of love and constant dedication of two young newlyweds, grandparents of the present proprietors, who in 1909, with passion and sacrifice gave life to this establishment, transforming it over the years from a small restaurant to a 4 star hotel with 62 rooms, Restaurant, Banqueting Hall and Swimming Pool. It's located in the beautiful historical porticoed town centre of Chiavari, immersed in the heart of this vibrant small medieval city, and only a few minutes from the promenade. Chiavari moreover is situated at the centre of an area rich in natural beauty: from the uncontaminated Cinque Terre to Portofino, from Genoa, with its aquarium and beautiful historical centre, to Camogli and Sestri Levante. The hotel is the destination chosen by those who have a passion for trekking, tourism, cycling and mountain biking, those who want to forget the car and choose either the train or the boat as an alternative mode transport or those who simply want to relax and be pampered away from the hustle and bustle of stressful living.

A tired hotel in an unattractive town.

Reviewed By courtenay37

According to reviews, this is Chiavari’s best hotel, which may be a commentary on the town rather than the hotel. During a tour of coastal towns, this was the only hotel that disappointed us. The decoration is tired, our room was dreary and breakfast is an experience to be avoided. Breakfast is served in an uninviting room, brilliantly lit like an operating theatre, with a limited range of food in industrial-style containers. The morning we were there, some of the food had been finished by 8am - and the surly waiter didn’t seem to want to replace it. Despite Chiavari’s arcades, the town hasn’t much to offer: much of its coastline is taken up by a very large marina, looking as unpleasant as a car park, and the beach is one to be avoided. Our advice would be to limit a visit to an hour or two and stay in Rapallo or Sestri Levante.

Stay away

Reviewed By Odyssey297972

Very poor quality. Problems are not taken in consideration by the staff in any way. I ordered a 2 nights stay but had to leave after 2 hours the first day because the hotel is located in front of a beach resort with extremely loud music until midnight. The window are not soundproof and it was just unbearable to stay, even with earplugs. I had to find another hotel. The manager of Santa Maria don't wanted to refund me not even 1 night, with the argument it's not their fault and my booking was not refundable (in total 300 EUR). In Switzerland, where I come from, such a situation would not happen. A hotel takes its responsibility and the client have always the right to cancel a contract in such a unexpected situation. I was really surprised they decline my request because they came to my room and confirm that such a noise it not ok. In addition to that, a look in the shower was enough to decide not to take one - really gruesome with some apparent rusty wire gimp just at the level of the feet. My last camping trip had a better bath than this "so called 3 stars hotel". The furniture is old and really shabby, the people unfriendly and dishonest. Stay away. I post some pictures, unfortunately I didn't made one from the wire in the shower.

Another Perfect Visit To This Amazing B&B

Reviewed By BelfastBarclays

This was our sixth visit to this truly amazing accommodation and again it was perfection. Even through the Covid-19 restrictions were in place, Iolanda, the host, made it seem as if all was normal. Obviously there was no breakfast in the usual breakfast room, we were treated to it being delivered every morning to our room as when we booked there was no Covid restrictions and we booked for Bed and Breakfast. I have never stayed in such a beautiful, wonderful, B&B where nothing is too much trouble and the hosts, particularly Iolanda, make you feel so at home that I cry every time I leave. Simply the best accommodation in Italy! Iolanda and Massimo we miss you so much already and we are only home 5 days from our fantastic visit to the beautiful Chiavari and the the even more beautiful room.

Very authentic, central and best landlord

Reviewed By FrankfurtAG

We have been here for 9 days with perfect weather. We have been here the second time and did find the landlord and Emelyn very friendly and suportive, as last time. The room, the rooftop and the kitchen are perfect to spend summer- and city holidays. The walk to the beach and waterpromenade is max. 10min depending where to go. The city with all its places, bars, restaurants and shops offers everything for each tast. Also the railstation and bus is very close. You do not need a car. We will come back and can recommend this place by all means- also to relax many days or weeks. Thank you.

Great place with a great view and the most helpful host

Reviewed By PattiR10

La Luna is a beautiful setting in the hills of Chiavari. A car is needed to reach this delightful and clean family owned B&B. Bruce and his wife are very welcoming and most helpful. The fresh made pastries are an added treat to our stay. They are most helpful in navigating around the city, the Cinque Terra and making connections to travel the outlying areas. La Luna is definitely a great choice when looking for accommodations and Chiavari is a cheerful city to visit.
