Ricevimento nozze incantevole

Io vis a vis è stata la prima e l’univa location che abbiamo visitaro bper il nostro ricevimento di nozze, ce ne siamo innamorati fin dalla prima volta che siamo saliti sulla terrazza. Rimarrete scioccati dall’incanto della vista su cui si affaccia questo hotel. Matrimonio su tre piani, movimentato il giusto, altissima professionalità di tutto il personale a disposizione, chef eccezionale. L’organizzazione del matrimonio avviene insieme all’ proprietaria Simona, persona speciale che ha curato ogni dettaglio della preparazione, sempre a disposizione e super efficace nel rendere l’organizzazione il più agevole possibile (io sono riuscita perfettamente pur vivendo a Torino)
Il giorno dopo non potete che godervi la piscina dell’hotel, ripensando a vostro giorno mereviglio
Grazie Simona e a tutto il suo staff ❤️

Best wedding venue, best service, best view!

Simona is the event manager of the hotel. She the most kind, honest and professional person I ever met! She managed to make our wedding day special and seamless. She is fast to answers, able to organise every single details only over the phone or WhatsApp. Highly recommended for international weddings! Food is incredible and they are very flexible to accommodate variations for any Food requirements. The view of Sestri Levante from any corner of the hotel is stunning!

The Perfect Wedding!!

Where do I begin? Our experience with the whole team at Vis a Vis was AMAZING! They took such good care of us and our whole group. The location in Sestri is beautiful and the venue is perfect for a wedding. We did our ceremony on the terrace and had our reception in Olimpo restaurant. The best part is that we did not have to worry about a thing, Vis a Vis took care of every detail. I told them what I wanted and they made my dreams come true. Our special day was like a fairytale and even better than what I could've imagined! We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation in Sestri, while effortlessly having a wedding that could be in a magazine. You will not be disappointed at hotel Vis a Vis. They are our family now, and we look forward to returning every year! I cannot recommend them enough!!

Thank you Vis à Vis!

Dear Simona,

Thank you for everything! You made our vow renewal spectacular. Your hotel is magnificent and we loved working with our officiant, Maurizio Petrasso. The place where you arranged for us to exchange our vows was majestic and the table you gave us sublime. The food was beyond amazing and your staff were so attentive and wonderful. We were surprised and flattered that your chef made us that special appetizer and came out to say hi to us. Your wedding cake was gorgeous and tasted so yummy! Everything was above and beyond what we could ever have imagined and we could not have asked for a more perfect experience!

A perfect stay

We decided to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary at the Hotel Vis a Vis. The Sky Bar Ponte Zeus seemed like the perfect place for it. From the very first moment we sent our enquiry by email in September 2023, we felt we were in good hands. The communication with the hotel was great. All questions were answered immediately and they helped us with all the planning (including organising a wine tasting for the whole party). Once we were there, we were simply thrilled. The hotel is a dream with a unique view over the bays of Sestri Levante. The rooms are all very individually and beautifully furnished. They are clean and quiet. The location of the hotel is great, as you can take the lift directly into the town. It's quiet and yet not far from restaurants and beaches.
All the hotel staff (many speak English, German and Italian) were very friendly and courteous. The food was excellent and we simply felt incredibly comfortable in this hotel.
Our party exceeded all our expectations. Simona, the owner of the hotel, was always there for us and made sure everything ran smoothly. Nothing was missing and all our guests were delighted with the event and the hotel.
We have rarely had such a wonderful holiday and will certainly book this hotel again in the next few years.
Many thanks to Simona, Cinzia and the entire staff for this wonderful time.

Wedding bellissima!

We cannot recommend this hotel location enough. My wife and I had our wedding reception at Vis a Vis. The service, the ambience, the views, the food....absolutely everything about it was perfect. From the get go, Simona, the event planner, was 100 % available, helping with every possible need and request and more with our ceremony and reception. She made the best recommendations and suggestions in helping us make our wedding spectacular. She brought in the band the Moochers and they were a blast! The wedding cake (millefoglie) was the best dessert I have ever eaten! And the flowers and arrangements were out of a storybook. Our wedding was an absolute fairy talk and dream come true. My wife and I and our families agreed it was the greatest trip and wedding we've ever been to! Apart from the wedding we ate at Restaurant Olimpio to try other meals and let me tell you I have never eaten a more delicious pork belly in my life! The staff in general was great to work, they all helped create memories for a lifetime. We can't wait to come back just for the food and the views! Thank you to Simona and the rest of the staff for being so wonderful during our time there. And for anyone reading this review, please do yourself a favor and have your wedding at Vis a Vis, you will not regret it!!

Our dream wedding!

If you want to have a dream wedding, you should celebrate it here without any doubts! Simona from Hotel Vis-a-Vis is the best out of the best! She thought about every single detail for our wedding! She was in touch with us over the last year to plan everything!

The terrace and the restaurant are spectacular! Views are amazing! Food was delicious! And all the guests were dancing till late night with Filippo’s band suggested by Simona!
It was the best day in our life! What an incredible experience!

Thanks again to Simona and every single person who helped us organize our dream wedding!
We already miss you and want to come back to celebrate our anniversary!

With warmest regards,
Tatiana and Tim (25.07.2024)
