Gorgeous historical villa, with amazing cliffside views of Alassio, phenomenal restaurant, and an amazing garden. The room that we stayed in was well appointed, had luxurious decorations and a lot of historical decor items. The infinity pool was gorgeous, and the drinks were phenomenal. The restaurant was also very good, and we had to try the five course prix fixe menu. The staff was amazing, and were very courteous, professional and helpful.

The property is in a fantastic location with stunning panoramic views across Italian riviera and surrounded by wonderful gardens. The rooms are clean, spacious, quiet and well equipped . The reception staff are attentive and always there to assist. Service in the dining room is somewhat haphazard and unco-ordinated however and not up to the usual Relais & Chateaux and Michelin standard in my opinion. Breakfast in particular seems to be a particular difficulty. The breakfast buffet looks great but the choice is limited to cheese, fruit, yoghurt and cakes. Bearing in mind that this is already a princely hotel it is particularly disappoint that there is an additional charge at breakfast for some items eg eggs Benedict Euro 25, avocado and egg on toast Euro 15. If breakfast is offered as ‘included’ there should not be additional charges for fairly straightforward items - especially when catering for an international audience.

From the approach to the Villa, to our warm welcome, our greeting drink, the ambience & stunning gardens & scenery, we knew it would be magical & it truly was. Bliss.

excellent, best to reserve restaurant before you arrive

We had a fantastic stay. The property was fabulous, the service was excellent, and the rooms were immaculate. They also gave a great chef.

Set on the hills above Alassio, Villa Della Pergola aspires to be an Anglo-Italian paradise, and it very nearly succeeds. The gardens are majestic. sculpted out of 20,000 square meters. Nooks of diverse flora around every corner, an expertly-blended collection. A narrow drive connects the tiers, cut across by grassy paths and rough-hewn stairs leading to quiet perches perfect for soaking in the aromas of the citrus gardens: eucalyptus, lemon, chinotto. The villas themselves set above the wild gardens, encircling an ancient eucalyptus and looking out toward the sea. With all that, you'd suspect perfection all around. But the guest experience is uneven. > Service at NOVE doesn't match high quality of food. After our meal, we waited 25 mins for requested digestivo. We were unable to get the attention of any waiter to attend to us. We eventually left without. After mentioning this to management next day, response was lukewarm > No iron in room, none available to be brought to room, + guests are charged high rates for each item to be pressed. VDP would do well to follow tradition of St Regis + others -- 2 free items a day > Breakfast sorely lacking in variety of selections > Air con very subpar, unable to keep the room consistently cool > Attitude of certain staff consistently cold, uncaring > Tour of gardens delivered thoughtlessly A remarkable property with so much to recommend it. A truer dedication to guest experience would help this property reach its potential.

Our visit to the Villa della Pergola was one of our most enjoyable holiday experiences. From the welcoming reception to the estate to our time to leave the service, standard of food, attentive and helpful staff could not be faulted in any way - I can not think of a negative item or observation to write. We were staying in the Villino della Pergola which is a beautiful villa . The gardens were a joy to explore and the pool area was very nice area to kick back and relax. We strolled down the hill into town on most days, Alassio is a very pretty and welcoming town, we managed to raise a few smiles with our attempts at Italian. We were amazed at the efficiency of the house maids, how they managed to attend to the rooms on a number of occasions during each day without ever being seen by ourselves - very discreet. When it was time to check out (very early in the morning) the hotel had set up a table in the dining room so we could have a light breakfast before leaving. Looking forward to revisiting this little haven.

Slice of heaven. Tranquil, and serene. Had a lovely stay, and excellent staff.
