Hotel Tigullio Et de Milan

A three-star hotel in the center of Santa Margherita Ligure with a rooftop terrace, a wine bar and breakfast, a short walk from the harbor.

Why people love it

• Location. Guests say the sea is a five-minute walk and that restaurants and the harbor are close. The pedestrian streets are next to the hotel.
• Friendly staff. Reviews in 2026 call the team friendly and professional, and some say staff speak French.
• Breakfast. Guests describe a good buffet with an international choice, and cappuccino on the terrace.
• The rooftop. The terrace is open until 11 pm with drinks at modest prices, and one guest enjoyed warm evenings there.

Why they come back

"This is my second time here. In my opinion, it's a good combination of price, rooms, location, and an excellent international breakfast."

The worst thing guests say

Small rooms that look better in photos are the most repeated complaint. In September 2026 one guest said the room looked nothing like the photos, and similar comments appear from 2017, 2022 and 2023. In September 2026 another guest reported water leaking in the room. A guest in September 2025 had no duvet in November, and in August 2024 a family described a poor night and service. Two 2024 and 2025 guests called reception rude or unhelpful. Older reviews mention a dirty entrance and rooftop.

Insider tips

• Book a larger room if you are a couple. Several guests found standard rooms small.
• Ask for a room with a balcony.
• Parking is available for an extra charge.
• The train from Milan takes about two hours.
