Hotel Blu di Te

We are a family of four adults from Australia travelling in Europe and have just spent 10 days in the lovely Hotel Laurin. The hotel is in the heart of Santa Margherita with all of the bars, restaurants, cafes and shops right on your door step. It is a 10 minute walk to the train station and across the road from the marina which makes it so easy for day tripping to other towns and the Cinque Terra by train or boat. Portofino is a beautiful one hour walk or 15 minute ferry ride. After a day of sight seeing in the heat it was wonderful to come back and relax at the roof top pool which had plenty of very comfortable sun beds and a fabulous view. The rooms are lovely and spotlessly clean, we had a terrace with a great view across the marina which was perfect for afternoon or after dinner drinks. The hotel is a family owned and run by Stefano and his wife Paola and they are both charming and delightful. All of the staff were friendly and polite and helped us with recommendations for sight seeing and restaurants and helped us with a small medical issue booking us in with an English speaking doctor, and then followed up with us the next day to make sure everything was OK. We would highly recommend the Hotel Laurin if you are looking for lovely accommodation with the added bonus of super friendly service and old world charm.

The hotel is very nice and has an excellent location overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the port. It is surrounded by greenery. It is at the same time very central to all attractions in the city. The bus stop to Portofino is 50m away.
The hotel itself has all necessary amenities. Staff is friendly. Room is spacious. The hotel has a pool on the terrace which has gorgeous views. The breakfast is excellent with a wide selection of options. The hotel has a small gym which we tried. I highly recommend the hotel.

We had a wonderful experience at Blu di Te House. The staff was amazing. The hotel as described in other reviews did not disappoint. Breakfast was truly artwork. I would strongly recommend to any of our friends from the United States traveling to Italy, who appreciate true boutique hotels.

We were lucky to find this wonderful hotel by accident. It exudes old world charm and class and the staff were so friendly and helpful Our room overlooked the waterfront with a private terrace. We met a man we thought was the manager and every day he aske us how he could help with train reservations, dinner plans or other trips. It turned out he was the owner and Stefano treated us like family throughout our stay. He and his staff take such pride in the hotel and the services they offer. It was one of the best hotel stays we have ever had and we miss it since returning home.Grazie Paolo and Stefano ! We will be back one day again :-)

Blu Di Te is a charming boutique hotel in a great location! We loved Santa Magherita, but the front desk concierges helped us enjoy it even more with their restaurant recommendations, maps, and tips. The breakfast was always delicious. And one evening we enjoyed apertifs and hugo spritzes on the roof deck and it was just lovely! All staff were so nice and accommodating. Great trip, great place. We'd go again in a heartbeat.

Extraordinary place with a stunning view on the harbour.
Breakfast is very very tasty!
Owners and staff are so friendly and helpful
We will be back!!

Excellent waterfront location in a nice town with many restaurants within walking distance.
Easy parking on the road in front of the hotel at €2.5/hour.

Everything at this hotel was perfect. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and we had a balcony which had a great view of the boats in the harbour. It was so good, we bought some food and had dinner there two nights in a row. Breakfast was perfect as well. Thank you Stefano for a great 3 night stay.

Our family of four first stayed at Hotel Blu di Te in 2019 when they had just opened, and we had an amazing experience. This past summer (July 2024), we returned for a one-night stopover in Santa Margherita Ligure on our way to Lake Como. Although the online booking system showed no availability, I reached out directly, and Paola went above and beyond to help us secure the same Junior Suite Superior we stayed in back in 2019. The room is perfect for a family, with a double room featuring a cozy corner balcony and a smaller room with two single beds. The hotel’s breakfast is a beautifully presented buffet, and every detail—from the charming decor to the thoughtful amenities and even the placement of items in the bathroom—reflects the care and attention they put into creating an exceptional guest experience. The staff is incredibly kind and accommodating, making our stay as memorable as our first visit. We loved this hotel in 2019 and loved it just as much in 2024. The only thing we regret is not staying longer. Next time!
