Best Rocchetta Nervina Hotels

Arrivés là par pur hasard, le panneau avec les photos nous a donné envie. Nous espérions que le repas soit à la hauteur de ces clichés et ce fut le cas. Vous choisissez le vin et le menu est une « surprise » , entrée , pâtes, viandes, dessert café eau à 35€. Nous avons eu pichade, tourte, barbajuan et farcis en entrée, raviolis à la sauge, tagliatelles au ragoût et tapenade, mix grill de viande (bœuf, saucisse et côtelette d’agneau) avec comme accompagnements, haricots verts et frites, le dessert un large choix vous est proposé, tiramisu, crème caramel, gâteaux aux amendes…. Et leur spécialité que le nom m’échappe, nous avons opté pour la crème caramel et le gâteau aux amendes, nous nous sommes régalés et nous y retournerons et nous parlerons d’eux autour de nous car c’est j’en adresse à connaître!!! Le personnel est très sympathique, les patrons pareils, petit bonus à la fin le digestif offert (lomoncello ou grappa) et le patron au moment du café fait le tour des tables avec une bouteille, je suppose du rhum car comme il dit « c’est meilleur avec ça dedans » très convivial ce restaurant!!!

This is a fantastic b&b high up in Ventimiglia old town with spectacular views of the new town below. The bedrooms are on multiple levels accessed through communal areas. The decor is rich and quirky and unique with superb old wooden floors and rough stone walls. Breakfast is held at the long table in the main common area. Fruit/ pastries/ breads/ cheeses/ cold meats -all very fresh - and very good coffee. We enjoyed meeting and chatting with the other guests at the table in the morning. I highly recommend this b&b. Staying there is an unforgettable experience. I have two 'be aware of's' - 1/ We arrived late (2320) and were welcomed by Alamin who was very generous with his time and showed us around. However there is a late fee of €20 if you arrive after 2200. It is mentioned in the booking page but in an area you might overlook in your eagerness to book. 2/ The b&b is in the heart of the old town. The streets are narrow and there is very little on-street parking. Our host Claudio offered us off-street parking for an extra €20 but we took a chance and got lucky finding a space beside the cathedral plaza (which is very close to the b&b and very beautiful.) Even if you have to pay those extra costs we think the price for staying in this quite remarkable building is very reasonable and we feel privileged to have stayed here. We highly recommend it to fellow travellers.

Hotel Sole Mare was a nice place to crash for the night after our train to Genova was cancelled due to an Italian train strike. We booked on ******* while leaving the train station and they were ready and expecting us by the time we walked the 20 minutes to the hotel. The receptionist was friendly and helpful when checking in. Left the window open and fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the Mediterranean coast and woke up to the sun shining on the sea. The included breakfast the next morning was much appreciated.
