Grand Hotel da Vinci in Cesenatico

What a beautiful hotel – truly 5-star service from start to finish.
From the stunning decor to the friendly and professional staff, everything exceeded expectations. The food was exceptional – every meal felt like fine dining. I was honestly surprised to read some of the negative reviews, as I've stayed in many 5-star hotels, and this is genuinely one of the best.

I’ll definitely be returning next year with my whole family. If you appreciate elegance, quality service, and a touch of luxury, this hotel is perfect for you.

The buffet for breakfast was nice definitely aimed for American

As a well travelled guy around the world, I’ve experienced many 5 star hotels including Dubai, but this is by far my favourite of them all!! As I came here to write this review I was nosey enough to wisher how other people’s experiences. And I’m shocked to read some reviews and I can only assume that they MUST be spam or a bitter competitor locally. Because I cannot fault a single thing from the grand hotel Da Vinci The staff were impeccable, from their politeness, professionally well dressed and how attentive they were. I stayed in a room which took my breath away upon entering, Versace bathroom tiles and above the bed. A real fine touch of which I’ve not seen before in any hotel. Well sized bathroom and impressively sized bedroom. Probably the best nights sleep I’ve had in a very comfortable bed too. Some of the comments I think are spam mention issues with the pool tiles. No no and no again. The pool was perfectly kept. Not a single fault. They even had a bottom hoover type cleaner going around over night to maintain its perfection The surrounding gardens in the pool area and throughout the hotel were faultless too. If you want 5 star Italian dining then look no further. Not only is the breakfast buffet one of the most superior I’ve had. The evening dining service was amazing. Mouth watering menu choice and perfectly delivered. Take a 30 second walk from the rear exit behind the pool and you’re dining at ‘La Spaggia’ restaurant located on its private beach area which is idyllic in the evenings La spaggia also has lunchtime offerings after a morning on the beach. As mentioned it’s a private beach area, which unlike most sun loungers in Italy is very well spaced giving you a relaxing beach experience I can’t wait to return to the area because the town of Cesenatico is beautiful too. Only a 5-10 minute walk up the harbour and you have a great selection of boutique shops and waterside restaurants. Great for both daytime and evenings. 5/5 stars - and I have already booked for July 2026! See you again soon :)

I have always found that a great staff can make up for other deficiencies in a hotel. This has never been more true than my recent stay at this property. We arrived very late on the night of our check in. Stephen was waiting for us, by name, with open arms and intent on providing the perfect welcome. In the morning, we experienced what may be the most elaborate and satisfying breakfast of our lives. From the personal omelette chef to a bakery level assortment of delicacies, it was perfect. We then met Elena, who not only seemed intent on charmingly meeting all of our needs, but also provided several tips to enjoy the surrounding area. The room was standard, but very clean. The hotel was pristine and we cannot wait to return for a longer stay.

This is my second time here . This hotel has a fabulous location , lots of shops and restaurants around and so many lovely places to walk at any time of the day or night . The service at this hotel is phenomenal especially by the pool and the housekeepers are very on top of everything within our room , we will be back .

I had a great experience during my stay at this hotel. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I’d like to give special thanks to Elena at the reception. Despite her young age, she was incredibly professional, charming and efficient. She listened to us and handled our requests with such confidence and grace. Her dedication and warm attitude really made a difference and contributed greatly to the positive atmosphere of the hotel.
