Hotel Eveline Portosole

If you are tired of staying in bland, faceless hotels then try the Eveline Portosole Hotel in beautiful Sanremo which is classy, characterful, super friendly and very comfortable. The owner Chechilia adores flowers and water in equal measure and these themes resonate throughout the hotel. On arrival, the entrance, reception and breakfast room are festooned with orchids, roses and other beautiful flowers which leave an amazing scent which I can smell as I write this review. On entering the lobby, you are greeted by two huge water filled cauldrons with floating roses and as you move into the reception area you catch the steady burbling flow of water from replica stone fountains in the nearby breakfast room. Breakfast itself is absolutely amazing, I have not stayed anywhere with the range, quality and freshness of the food available and this is all set in beautiful surroundings so if you have the time, breakfast at the Eveline is a lovely place to linger and enjoy the ambience and culinary experience. Having stayed here a few times now, I know the rooms are each unique and full of character most, if not all, have an enormous bath each of a different type, again for you to linger in and enjoy. The rooms are also very comfortable, clean and practical. It is fair to say that the Corso Cavallotti is a busy road from which traffic noise does reach the rooms on the street side. I have never found this to be a problem but if you are a light sleeper then it is best to ask for a room on the other side to ensure a good night’s sleep. Location wise, the Eveline is ideal with only a short walk into town or a two-minute stroll down to the sea front by the new marina with a nice, safe pedestrian and cycle route going in either direction. Just next to the Eveline are some beautiful botanical gardens which include a large pond and waterfall containing a large colony or turtles which will entrance children and adults alike. If you are going further afield then the Sanremo train station is also only a couple of minutes away which is a real bonus especially if you have luggage to carry. Outside there is also a very nice sitting area next to relax with a coffee or an aperitivo under the Olive and other trees. Needless to say, Chechilia, her deputy Christian and the rest of the staff are all very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. All in all, if you want an experience to remember for a reasonable price rather than just a service then I would thoroughly recommend the Eveline Portosole Hotel.

Nice hotel in the common areas, needing maintenance on the facade and rooms (at least ours was a bit dated). Overall pleasing, a bit retro or maybe better vintage. Very courteous staff. Clean. Good breakfast. Good location. Good value for money.

On a rather busy road, 10 minutes walk from the center and close to the sea ((Portosole) Little parking. Spectacular entrance and ground floor with flowers and candle holders. Courteous welcome. Bright and spacious superior room, equipped with the main comforts. A little 'anonymous due to lack of color and personality'. A few fixtures to fix. Good buffet breakfast, plentiful and satisfying, in a beautiful lounge. Well-laid tables, flowers, quality crockery. Adequate price for Sanremo. Appreciable check out at 12. A good stay
