La Sosta di Ottone III in Levanto

Proprietor Angela was delightful. Happy hour on terrace with a fantastic view very special. Don’t be dissuaded by need to use monorail to bring bags up….there is a walkway thru the village that we took everytime after arrival. Explore Levanto & Borrasso too.

We had an unplanned doctor visit in the morning of our check-in day that delayed everything planned in our day. I received a call from Angela around 6 pm saying that we were late for our check in and she'd leave notes for us. She reminded me that there is a roughly 100 meters of upheel walk and stairs. Then I realized my mother-in-law joined our trip last minutes and we had totally forgotten about this part. I asked Angela if there was a wheelchair I could use for my mother-in-law. She paused and said "we've got a problem" as the path is not suitable for elderly with mobility issues. She was so generous to stay until 7:30 pm for us so she can run the monorail for my mother-in-law. The monorail is for luggages only but can accomodate two people if needed. Angela was so kind and we were so grateful for her staying late evening to help us with the situation. My wife and I would go back to their place (no parents this time, lol). The place is located on top of the village and is very peaceful.

Absolutely perfect, very close to the crowds of 5 Terre but so peaceful and quiet

A wonderful place to relax and take in the magnificent views of the beautiful Ligurian countryside. Perfectly situated high above the bustling coastal town of Levanto and the edge of the Cinque Terre, it's a great base to explore and sample the charms of the region. The food was excellent and our hosts most gracious.

This is truly an amazing property in the mountains above Levanto. How amazing to be above where birds fly and just hear them sing along with church bells. What a fun way to access this property via a monorail. This is a beautifully renovated farm house from way back with a touch of modern features. The whole staff was truly wonderful. I would highly recommend a stay here.

We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed beautiful late summer sun in this fabulous, historic place, high up in the hills. We had no car but were happy to take taxis to visit bustling Cinque Terre, then appreciated coming back to this haven of peace with spectacular views. We enjoyed walking out of the front door straight onto the criss-cross network of footpaths that cover the area. We ate in the restaurant twice (gorgeous) and 3 times in Monterosso - very happy with all of them. Waking up to the sound of church bells under sixteenth century wooden beams in our room was very special.

The hotel is charming and lovely with amazing view. It is so peaceful being up on a hill overlooking Levanto with view of the Mediterranean Sea. The room is very comfortable and clean, and the bathroom is modern and large with all the necessary amenities. Breakfast and dinners are superb, mostly local cuisines, served at dining area which can be indoor or out in a garden terrace. The wine list comprises selections of local wines from multiple producers. It is amazing that all the wines can either be ordered by bottle or by glass! Indeed our stay has been highly enjoyable, made all the more special by the staff who are very friendly and accommodating, and Angela, the owner, who provides excellent service.

Had a wonderful stay here - all perfect in every way . Thank you

Wonderful staff - very helpful in navigating and planning Cinque Terre! Beautiful property, gorgeous rooms - spacious and very comfortable. Only thing to note and plan for is it’s a 30 Euro cab to and from Monterosso.

Our family of six stayed at La Sosta in early September and had an incredible time. The location of the property is very secluded and special. After exploring Cinque Terre and Levanto it was the perfect place to "come home" to. We would get back, clean up and decompress from the day with delicious wines and nibbles. Honestly you could pitch a tent in the garden and the views alone would make this property special. The friendly service, the delicious food (probably our favorite breakfast of the whole trip) and the immaculately clean rooms made this a wonderful stopping point. The only thing to be aware of is that for those with mobility this may be a more challenging choice. The addition of the funicular to move luggage (and if needed people) up the hill is a great addition. There are still stairs and gradients to manage - this did not detract from our stay at all but it is something to be aware of.
