Villanova - Nature & Wellness

Throughly enjoyed our time at Villanova. Great room for a family of four. Beautiful surroundings, delicious homemade organic breakfast, lovely staff and a great shuttle service that takes you downtown either in the morning hours or in late afternoon/early evening. The pool area was really nice too, but as we were here in late march, weather wasn’t really for it. The hiking opportunities in and around cinque terre are amazing and Villanova serves as a perfect base to explore. We would love to return.

We had a great stay at Villanova. The property is stunning and the staff is very lovely and friendly - special grazie for the breakfast ladies, and the 2 Davide (reception and shuttle). The room was big and clean. The breakfast buffet was tasty with local products. The pool area is great to relax after a day in busy Cinque Terre. Good shuttle and taxi service, the property is not super far from the Levanto train station (20 min walk and 5 min via car). I will recommend to my friends and family as an amazing place to stay and discover the Liguria region. Merci, Clara & Paul

The place was very pretty and location was great. It was clean and comfortable. We had 2 kids with us , one 6 year old and another 4 year old. And we stayed only did 1 night , didn’t use the pools or anything since we were doing a lot of visiting cinque terre and also the aquarium. In our room there was a bottle of wine and 1 pack of chips and peanuts left on the table left with a “WELCOME “ card on it, so to my knowledge as I have been to many hotels wich leave little cute gift like that was a warm welcoming from the staff…… well note to self “”” a welcoming card with a bottle of wine is NOT a nice gesture from the staff but it means 26€ for it after. Now I would have left 5 star if , after I payed for the room and the breakfast for adults was 15€ each and 10€ for children, my daughter and son ate 1 biscuits if that by the way. The owner latter sent me a messenger saying by the way we charged u an additional 26 for the bottle of wine. I don’t know if he did that bc it was really not a welcoming gift or he was charging me more bc I took a banana and a biscuit to go for the kids since they didn’t eat ANY breakfast except for a cookie, I saw the waitress stare at me so that could also be why. Anyways the place was great it would have been even better if they acted a bit nicer and not so uptight, especially since we stayed 1 night from 10 pm and checked out at 9 am and payed 268€ plus 26€ for the wine. Also u can NOT check in from 12.30-15.30

Beautiful place, away from the crowd of Levanto and the 5 terre. Although there is a shuttle I believe it is easier with your vehicle. Nice staff, clean and welcoming room in the vineyard, beautiful sunset. Very abundant breakfast buffet… Everything you need

Villanova was the perfect place for our entire family of 10 adults and 12 children and teens to spend a week. For the children and teens it was a first time visit to the country where their great grandfather was born and the experience could not have been better. Villanova's shuttle ran for two hours twice a day, making it easy to get to the beach in Levanto, which was not overly crowded midweek, or to catch a train to Cinque Terra for hiking. For breakfast there was something delicious for everyone, including the vegans in our group. The pool was lovely and the location spectacular. The staff was helpful, friendly, and patient with the joyful exuberance of the children. I would happily stay at Villanova again in the future.

Decor is charming, breakfast an impressive assortment of fresh fruit, breads, pastries, owner and staff all friendly and helpful. I would happily come back. rooms were spacious and well appointed. Coffee, tea, cookies available 24/7 for jet lag!

The buildings and surrounding are super nice and typical of the local architecture. Loved having breakfast on the terrace with a view on the local villages on the hilly countryside. The food was equally very good with enough variety and amazing cappuccinos! Kids loved the swimming pool area and the large jacuzzi in particular which was warm although it was already end of October. The apartment was spacious, very well maintained and furnished with all the required accessories to have diners their.
