It was a nice B&B place but we had difficulty getting there in the first place. It's close to a local train station (forgot the name), but not the major Sestri Levante stop. We got lost and thanks to the staff of a restaurant near the main train station, we managed to reach the B&B owner by phone and he picked us up with his car. Otherwise, we would have to walk 7-8 k because it was very hard to find taxi there (almost impossible on weekends). We wish it was pointed out clearer to us about the name of the local train station next to the B&B so that we could avoid missing the stop on our way back to the hotel after a day trip to Cinque Terre. The stop is not called Sestri Levante, although the address of the B&B says it is in Sestri Levante. If you take the local train back from Cinque Terre, it is the stop before Setri. (Mind that there are not many trains that stop there during the day.) We made a mistake and found ourselves in the wrong station again just like when we first arrived. Other than the confused experience of find the place, we had an enjoyable time at the B&B. The owner also recommended a very good restaurant nearby that's worth trying.

We were enchanted with this place. It fit nicely into our budget. The room was quite comfortable. Breakfast was very good. The owners were very nice and pleasant.

Barbara and Marcello treated us like one of the family. They went above and beyond for us.
Locanda del Borgo is located a short walk from the train station that takes you to the Chinque Terre, Santa Margherita Liqure and Portofino. A great location.
The rooms were clean and very comfortable. So were the baths.
The best part of the hotel is the food that comes from Barbara's kitchen. We ate there 3 of our 4 nights in Sestri Levante.
I would go back to visit in a heart beat.

We did not manage to find the time to write a review but have been meaning to for the last 6 months, having seen the latest review we now feel the need to defend this hotel. This is small and very family run but this simply adds to the appeal. The management (Marcello and Barbara) really make this hotel and are so helpful and friendly, but not in an overbearing way. As mentioned below we were welcomed with a drink on arrival and given lots of infomation relavent to our stay. Throughout our stay nothing was too much trouble and they would go out of their way to answer any of our questions. They seemed to genuinely enjoy making sure we were satisfied and ensuring we were having a great time in the Cinque Terre region. We didn't eat in the restaurant (as we preferred to explore in the evenings) but were told by other guests that we had missed out. If the breakfasts were anything to go by then we're sure they were right. Located in the small village of Trigoso we found the location no problem despite not having a car. The trains are convenient and the station only a less than 10 minute walk away (albeit up a hill). There are also buses too. The rooms were well decorated and clean and we feel it particularly harsh to give a hotel a "poor rating" when you haven't even given them a chance. I'm sure any problems could have been resolved given the opportunity. We stayed for a week and loved both the hotel and the region. This is not a 5 star hotel but nor to it profess to be, but we would certainly say the service is. If you want a relaxing and friendly atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle but near enough to see everything in the region then this hotel is for you.
