The villa was most charming, very nicely maintained. The breakfast area and in general were like being home. We were treated like family.

The walkway at night from the parking lot to the villa was not always lit.

not only was this a property full of charm and character, the staff is truly what made our stay so memorable

the walk there from the train station was mostly uphill so with 2 young children and all our luggage that was challenging. also, there weren’t any taxis/Ubers

Super welcoming staff and a wonderful setting!

Franca, Laura, Lorenzo & Sweet 'Black' (the dog:) were the highlight of our stay...more on that in a moment... L'Amandola itself is just perfection. The grounds are beautifully set in the hillside of Levanto among grape vines, lemon & olive trees and other beautiful plant life - the fruits of which you'll find readily available to enjoy directly at your breakfast table (figs, lemons, olive oil, etc.). The rooms and interior feel like you're visiting a family friend -- rustic & warm decor with a Tuscan villa vibe. Donkeys (although quite elusive!), chickens and the resident dog 'Black' were a joy to see every day! We stayed as a party of 6 (4 in one room, my parents in another near the pool) -- our room was spacious, beautiful the view from our room of the surrounding vineyard was stunning! And...we had AC:)) Never crowded with other guests, we were able to really feel 'at home' on the property. We absolutely loved the house-made cakes at breakfast (among the other delights!) and the special tasting dinner by the pool was just lovely. Back to the staff: France welcomed us with the warmest, brightest smile upon arrival and didn't stop giving us her joy the entire time:) Laura was fabulous and kind as well and we loved teasing Lorenzo with our over the top Italian impression of his name:) Absolutely wonderful people. Our kids (11 & 15) couldn't get enough of Lorenzo's dog, Black - we all fell in love with him:) Excellent location to visit Cinque Terre (train is just a few minutes away from the property) and explore the Liguria region. The people...this place...helped us create very special memories for my family and parents.

There's not a thing we didn't enjoy about staying here only something you should be aware of if you are traveling with older people or anyone with mobility issues. The property does have quite a few stairs in various places you'll need to climb to get around -- again -- not a problem for us (my mother does indeed have knee issues - she just took it slow!).

Where to begin? It started with Francka's warm welcome and radiant smile. She explained everything about Cinque Terre, gave us a parking badge so we could park in town and at the train station for free. Such a nice gesture! The property is beautiful, you can enjoy the charming old villa and the peace and tranquility of the well-kept gardens. Our room was very comfortable and immaculately clean. The pool (with lovely view) was certainly a big plus after walking around Cinque Terre. Breakfast on the terrace, full of healthy options. The companionship of the dog Black was greatly appreciated!

We didn't like the fact we had to leave.

The staff were really welcoming and helpful, with lots of knowledge and recommendations of the local area! Lovely pool area with bar (we wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy!). Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Levanto and would recommend to others. The homemade jam for breakfast was a nice touch, and we were able to buy some to take home with us.

Location is great, walking distance from the station and the center of Levanto. The villa and surroundings are beautiful, with the vineyards, olive trees and flowers. The staff is super nice and helped us in planning the visit to 5 terre. The breakfast was excellent. Beds were comfortable. Having the mini fridge in the room was nice.

We stayed in 2 different rooms and despite the second room being more expensive, we found out that there was no air-conditioning. We didn't see this during booking but somehow we expected for room rates of 140 euros this would be a minimum. Leaving the windows open at night was no option with all the mosquitos so we did not really have a good night. The bathroom of this room was very small and did have mold, can use some maintenance. The wine they serve in the bar is good but overpriced. And you cannot bring your own food and drinks to the pool.

Fabulous location. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Staff were lovely, friendly, kind and very helpful

Really really friendly bubbly and helpful staff and house dog "Black" Great sitting at breakfast with convivial staff and other guests from various other countries. Beautiful gardens

staff, accommodation and service 1st class

nothing

Laura and the Garden

We liked it very much in L' Amandola. We stayed there for three nights. The place is outside of Levanto and very easy to reach by car. Or, the train station is only 8 minutes away by foot. The villa with its historic style and furniture is absolute lovely. The staff and owner are very friendly and helpful with many great tips and advices for the area. Due to low temperatures, It was a pity we did not use the pool. The breakfast is just marvelous with e.g. homemade marmalades. Thank you very much for this great place.

Breakfast. Staff. Pool. We would recommend it to others. Able to walk there from train station

Room next to kitchen was not ideal but worked out ok

- Very helpful and friendly hosts with a lot of good advices - tasteful breakfast - close to the city, walking distance to the train station, but still a quiet place with a beautiful natural view - possibility to use city bikes for free

Our stay was lovely, everyone was so nice and welcoming, we really enjoyed our stay!

parking license is very convenient！

reception takes too long time

Very good location, only 8min walk to train station, easy to see Cinque Terre but there are nice walks from the village of Levanto too Nice breakfast and pool area

A bit warm in the room but if you open windows late at night, it cools quickly

Stunning view from the swimming pool Huge and beautiful shower in the room

Great stay. It had everything we were looking for; parking, breakfast, pool! The hotel was very clean and the staff was awesome. Lorenzo explained everything about the hotel, Levanto and Cinque Terre the first day. A plus is that they give you a parking card so you can park at the train station for free. If you decide to walk, it’s 8 minutes to the train station and 15 minutes to city center. Levanto is a great alternative to staying in one of the cinque Terre. I definitely recommend this hotel!

Not spending enough time at the pool

The pool was great. Secure parking, and parking pass. The location is perfect! Close to the train station. Breakfast was spot on and the staff was friendly. Lorenzo goes out of his way to ensure you are comfortable and gives great recommendations for things to do with our young kids.

N/A

The hospitality of the owner, the beautiful garden, walking distance to town, tranquility, nice breakfast with excellent home made products. ( rose jam!). Very nice white wine . Good bed and perfectly clean room.

+ super friendly host, made us feel very welcome + great location: easy parking and walking distance to city centre and train station + super close to Cinque Terre but so much quieter + lovely swimming pool and yummy breakfast

Friendliness of staff and close to Levanto

Bit pricy for value and lots of mosquitos

we stayed with our 4 daughters, 4,7,7, and 13. We thought l'amandola was the perfect location to discover the Cinque terre and not far from Levanto. The location itself is beautiful, the children loved exploring the gardens and visiting the chickens and the donkeys. We had 2 separate suites. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable! the hosts are really friendly and spent time going through how to get about and explaining things to us. Breakfast was super, and the platters of local cheeses, hams and home made jams by the pool in the afternoon were wonderful. It was so good, we stayed an extra night. We all loved it and hope to return

we liked everything!

Fantastic place to stay. Wonderful staff, so friendly and helpful. Gorgeous grounds. Easy access to cinque Terre. Highly recommend this place.
