Hotel il Nido

Room was clean, great sea view, good breakfast and food

From our room,15, the view was spectacular. I could lie in bed and see the sun setting behind Porto Venere. It's an older property but generally well maintained. Staff are like a family and will do everything they can to make your stay a good experience, as long as you are respectful. Maxes, Mario, Francescas, Petro and all the team were warm, friendly and fun. We went in spring and the jasmine was in full fragrance, so lovely. There's some nice restaurants just 50m down the road and another 200m brings you to Tellaro centre, a small but nice village. It's a narrow windy road in and there's a lot of stairs at I'll Nido, so if you're averse to either, then this place is not for you. But if you don't mind stairs and like it off the way gems, then this place should be on your list. Loved our stay and would love to go back.

This hotel is excellent. The rooms are very well equipped and clean. I stayed in the main building, I noticed they also had a building on the other (non beach) side of the road. Some of the rooms were sea facing, mine (no 2) was a single with side view of the sea from a spacious balcony/ terrace that was south facing. The small beach (down many flights of stairs) equipped with deck chairs was lovely. It’s worth noting the sun does not get to this beach till mid morning. If you wanted earlier sun there is another beach around the corner where sun beds cost €10 for the day. The beach bar served a very nice salad etc. The buffet breakfast was very good and had everything you could want and the view from the windows were beautiful. The village of Tellaro is 10 minutes walk away although there are four restaurants almost as soon as you leave the hotel in the village direction. In all there are about eight restaurants in the village as well as a very nice terrace bar. All the restaurants are good.

Amazing stay! The view is surreal
