I recently had the pleasure of staying at the 8 Hotel in Paraggi, Italy, and I must say that it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was impressed by the attention to detail that this hotel exudes.
The location of the 8 Hotel is simply breathtaking. Nestled in the beautiful coastal town of Paraggi, it offers unparalleled views of the mesmerizing turquoise waters of the Ligurian Sea. The private beach provided a tranquil oasis to relax and soak up the sun. The water is probably some of the best I’ve ever seen in my life. The bay of Paraggi has historically allowed no boats and thus you can swim out the full 280m length of the bay.
The staff at the 8 Hotel are true professionals who go above and beyond to ensure an exceptional guest experience. Their warm hospitality, coupled with their extensive knowledge of the local area, made my stay truly unforgettable. They were always ready with excellent recommendations for nearby attractions, restaurants, and activities, helping me make the most of my time in Paraggi.
The accommodations at the 8 Hotel are nothing short of luxurious. My room was impeccably designed, combining modern amenities with classic Italian style. Although small, the attention to detail in the room was evident in every aspect, from the comfortable bedding to the thoughtfully curated artwork. The breathtaking sea view from my balcony was the cherry on top, providing a stunning backdrop for relaxation and contemplation.
In conclusion, the 8 Hotel in Paraggi, Italy, is a true gem on the Italian Riviera. From the breathtaking location to the impeccable service, every aspect of my stay was impeccable. If you're looking for an idyllic getaway that combines elegance, relaxation, and world-class hospitality, look no further. The 8 Hotel is an absolute must-visit destination, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It truly deserves its five-star rating, and I can't wait to return for another...
Read moreWe arrived to Eight hotel in Portofino after visiting several hotels in Italy on self-organised tour. First impressions were good, The reception looked beautiful and the lady went to get us a welcome drink. As we sat down she explained that we had booked the wrong dates and we should have checked in a day earlier and therefore could not stay at the hotel for the two nights confirmed to us when booking. She also explained we would not be getting a refund for the night we had apparently missed.||We checked our details and realised it was all correct from our end. My partner had called up prior to the trip and enquired about moving the dates and had been told that it was not possible. However, we found out that the receptionist Silva had changed our dates without confirming with us! We had actually then extended our stay at another hotel because of this||I explained that due to the lack of communication, this was entirely their fault and therefore they would have to sort out the situation. After a while they arrived at the conclusion that they would move our room halfway through our stay. Silva and the hotel took no accountability for her lack of communication and it all felt very hostile and unwelcoming, they even felt the need to tell us that we had inconvenienced them!!||The next day we saw our moved room and it was absolutely tiny. We could not even fit our luggage in it! We had been downgraded despite paying full price! Again, no apologises or words as to why. The mix up of my partner asking if we could move dates was something we were now being penalised for. ||I went to the reception and spent a long time complaining and then eventually had us move hotels. This ruined our one and only full day in Portofino as we had only booked two nights. ||This was absolutely not the kind of hospitality we expected from a 5 star hotel with this price point. I would never stay here again, I cannot believe they couldn’t accept that we are not...
