We had an exceptional stay at this beautiful B&B. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and warm—always ready to assist with anything we needed. Since we visited during the off-season, we were generously upgraded to a larger room, which was a lovely surprise. Breakfast was a highlight: delicious, comforting, and served in a charming garden area—such a peaceful way to start the day. The quaint rooftop features a small gym, a mini pool, and a steam sauna, all overlooking the stunning Santa Margherita Bay. The property also includes garage parking, and the staff took care of parking and retrieving the car for us, which was so convenient. The location is perfect, within easy walking distance to all the popular restaurants. Highly recommend!

The LOCATION is near enough the city center but far enough so you don't hear the busy roads. The hotel sits in a little corner and had an amazing patio. The STAFF is amazingly friends. Jade, Federica and all others are helpful, polite and friendly. They will go over the top to help you in all you need. The ROOM is comfortable, has a nice view (stayed in 204) and very clean. The toiletries are super nice. Great BREAKFAST. . The POOL is the cherry on the cake. Amazing view, has a little gym for yoga, two saunas. I don't know why they say this is a three star. They should be 5 stars.

Nothing. I'd live in this hotel.

I just wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience at ALBERGO Minerva in Santa Margherita Ligure. I had a fantastic time! The hotel apartments were amazing, and I absolutely loved the great service provided by the attentive staff. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect during my stay. The rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, making me feel right at home. And let me tell you, the breakfast was super! It was the perfect way to start each day of my vacation. Overall, I had a great time and would highly recommend ALBERGO Minerva to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway.

The hotel is in a perfect position tucked away up a quiet street but only a 5 minute walk to the port. There is a small supermarket and pharmacy nearby. The hotel staff are so very helpful and informative. Nothing was too much trouble. Our bedroom had a small balcony overlooking the bay and the Tuscan hillside and we were on Level 4 which is where the rooftop terrace is available to use. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very well appointed. Good shower. The Jacuzzi and sun terrace are amazing. You need to book a slot at reception as only a limited number of people can use at any one time which is understandable. We stayed here 5 nights. Breakfast was excellent every day with plenty of choice and the option to sit outside in the garden.

I booked this hotel at the last minute when I decided to extend my holiday by two nights, and I chose it as it was the best value for money, however I was perfectly happy with it. I was really just using it as a base, so I didn't use the facilities much/at all. My room was great, a really nice size, traditionally decorated (slightly dated) and super clean, good size bathroom and the room came with a safe and a fridge which was useful. It was also very quiet and felt very safe, which is important for a solo traveler. The bed and pillows were very comfy, I slept really well there. The staff at the hotel were really friendly and welcoming and they went out of their way to help me on my check-out when I had to get to the train station for 5am and they personally drove me as I had left it too late to book a taxi, which I really appreciated! Very kind of them.

The hotel itself is set back from the main street so you have to turn off and walk up a slight hill to it and at night it was very quiet and dark-ish walking up there which as a woman on my own, wasn't my favourite, although I am sure it is totally safe! The decor of the hotel I found pretty dated, it could do with a refresh, although I didn't mind some of it in my room as it was quite traditional Italian, but the more common spaces looked very dated. The hairdryer in my room wasn't great and provided not much heat or power and the shower cubicle was extremely small. There was also no air conditioning. Having said all this though, if you want a great basic hotel with amazing staff is it perfect for you. I still had a very comfortable stay and I would definitely stay there again!

Breakfast was lovely and the citrus terrace so beautiful. The rooms were very nice and the AC worked great. We thought it was such a cute lovely hotel and a good value for the money. The location is really good - a bit back from the water but anything closer to the water was quite a bit more so I really was pleased with this hotel and will stay there again if we go back to Santa Margharita. You can easily walk to Portofino from this hotel too.

We had such a warm welcome on arrival. The staff were so friendly and helpful especially Federica. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was fresh and delicious. The standout part was the pool which has an amazing view. We loved the location and how easy it was to visit Portofino and Cinque Terre. We would definitely recommend.

The team at the hotel were outstanding, nothing was a problem for them. They provided excellent local knowledge when we were considering different walking options and recommended several great restaurants and activities. The facilities were very good, the location great. This place is a gem, we stayed six nights - we wish it was six months!

Our stay at this fantastic hotel was truly unforgettable. The staff were incredibly professional and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. It was the best hotel experience of our entire trip in Italy. The breakfast was amazing, and having the rooftop jacuzzi and sun terrace all to ourselves was a dream come true. The garden where we enjoyed breakfast, surrounded by fruit trees and plants, provided the perfect romantic atmosphere. We are so grateful for this experience and can't wait to return!

The location, staff and the Villa/hotel itself were fabulous it was like staying with family. Wonderful rooftop pool overlooking the harbour. The breakfast was the best on our two month trip through Europe and always served by great people who have been well trained.

Our bed was extremely hard even for my husband who can normally sleep on anything. This is the most important item of any establishment and would lift the hotel to another level in my opinion.
