Our experience was very satisfactory. We used it when exploring the Cinque Terre and visiting Portofino, Forte dei Marme and Lucca. The sea-view rooms were superbly clean with good bathrooms and very usable balconies. The windows and automatic shutters appeared to be fairly new and provided reassuring security. The hotel provides a free parking area - a bonus anywhere on... More

The area this hotel is located in is absolutely beautiful. OMG, how nice is the Italian Riviera? The Cristallo service was fabulous and the food was great. Love the atmosphere and the short stroll to the beach and swimming in the warm waters was the highlight. Head down to Tellaro if you want to take some fantastic location photos or... More

The rooms are large and clean, but the forniture is old fashion. Onthe sea side all rooms have a nice terrace. The restaurant in the hotel is good , but not to be... More

I had visited Lerici and Tellaro a few years before, but had completely forgotten how incredibly beautiful the Italian Riviera is- glorious sea and rocky coves- the area is well worth a visit.

It is also a beautiful walk to Lerici with breathtaking coastal views. A bus stop is situated outside hotel for those occasions when a quicker trip to... More

I have lived in this area and by far the Hotel Cristallo is the best around this area. The Hotel is family run and they are quite rightly very proud of their food, service and hospitality. The food is excellent and inexpensive.

We planned a week of a sea retreat combining visits to Cinque Terre, Pisa, Lucca, small villages in Linigiana and some beach rest. We needed a hotel just to spend the night in and did not allocate a great budget to it. Cristallo lived up to our expectations. It offers real value for money though nothing fancy. The rooms are...

Spent 2 nights at this hotel as part of a longer tour down the east coast of Italy. Staff were friendly and helpful - especially when they arranged an emergency dental appointment for me in town, drove me there, waited for over an hour then drove me back - now that's what I call service! The hotel room was excellent... More
