We loved laying out by the pool, taking in the amazing scenery. The breakfast was outstanding. So many good things to choose from including local specialties. Their Foccacia is probably the best I've had and I lived 2 years of my life in Genoa proper and I know good Foccacia. It's the perfect place for a relaxing, charming, and romantic vacation.

We stayed at this hotel in 2019 and had a positive experience that we were excited to return. While…read morethe property was a little dated even then, the price was fair for a four- star hotel. Unfortunately, our recent stay was a very different experience. The location remains excellent and the buffet breakfast good. However, our room and surroundings, was a major disappointment, especially considering the price of €482 per night for a classic double. We were assigned a room on floor 2, in the rear of the main building, and both room and surrounding hallway felt very tired, and need of renovation. Upon walking to our room, the carpet on the stairs were badly stained and worn. A terrible impression. Along the hallway to our room, scattered old carpets in disrepair were a poor sight. Sightly old furniture and housekeeping carts left in the hallway. Inside our room, the old shower door seal was peeling off, and poorly maintained. The bathroom fixtures old. The 2 mattresses on each of our beds, were past their prime! Both had noticeable depressions that made them feel worn out and very unsupportive, affecting quality of sleep. Mattresses in this condition should be replaced long ago, especially at a hotel charging nearly 500€ per night! Very unacceptable. Small details added up--complimentary water only on the first day, and never replenished. At this price point, that felt stingy and below a four star hotel. We asked to change rooms, but were told there were none available for our first night, and then only, after asking again, did they show us another category for a following night. We were only staying 3 nights, and didn't want to pack up again and move to another room. When checking out I mentioned the above comments about the room and old stained carpet in hallway, and was told that our room was supposedly the next on the renovation phase. The receptionist said that renovations were being done in phases. Well, if that is the case, they should never charged €482 per night for an old room, they knew was in poor condition! We've stayed in many four-star hotels throughout Europe, that cost less and offered much higher quality accommodations. Based on the stay, the room did not justify the nightly rate. I would only recommend Cenobio Dei Dogi only for its nice location, not for the value.

Recco is my most favorite place on earth and my stay at the Hotel Elena was magical. Yes the hotel…read moreis old and the accommodations are not fancy but the place is spotless, staff extremely helpful and the breakfast is all homemade delicious and filled with the best fruit I have ever eaten. This breakfast topped all the 5 star hotels we visited in Europe. You eat breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea and the water polo pool next door. While you eat you eat the bells chime from at least 4 local churches and it's one of the most beautiful symphonies I've ever heard! Our room had a patio overlooking the sea and it had room for two chaise lounges and a table with two chairs. Recco is a sleepy old beach town where locals summer it was wonderful. We paddleboarded took the boat across the way to several locations and loved every moment. Enjoy this quaint hotel we loved it.

They gave us some great tips for local food and attractions, train times, hiking and walking trails, and local history. Breakfast service was fantastic. Lots of options for any palate and diet.
