Hotel Vis à Vis

Dogs welcome on the sky bar terrace and the restaurant terrace

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star on the hill above Sestri Levante looking over both bays, with a pool, a rooftop bar and a lift down into town. It has its own pet-friendly page and a concierge who'll point you to dog-friendly beaches and restaurants. Good for a small or medium dog and an owner who likes eating outside.

Why it's in the collection

Sestri's old town and the Baia del Silenzio are a short walk down the hill. The trail over Punta Manara starts at the edge of town and gives a proper morning walk through pine and olive.

Best suited for

Small and medium dogs only, and they aren't allowed in the indoor dining room or at the pool.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Dogs can join you on the Sky Bar Zeus terrace and the Giunone terrace of Ristorante Olimpo. They aren't allowed in the restaurant's indoor dining room or at the pool. Tell the hotel about your dog when you book.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
