L'Antico Borgo

A pleasure to meet all the hosts. The setting is beautiful, silent, immersed in the countryside with a view of the sea. Great terrace with a view of the sea for having a varied and good breakfast. I had a very happy stay.

We wanted to stay just outside of Levanto for some peace and quiet, but also be able to access the Cinque Terre easily, and L'antico Borgo was the perfect spot for us. It's tucked away in the little village of Dosso, about 10 minutes drive to Levanto, with free parking in the village parking lot and also a parking permit for town. There is a short steepish slope and a few steps from the car park to the B&B. The B&B is run by Carlo and his excellent team of staff, everyone was friendly, informative, professional and helpful. Francesco is in charge of making all the goodies for breakfast - there were always 2 savoury flans and at least 5 or 6 different cakes, flans, muffins or biscuits on rotation! There were also 3 kinds cereal, yoghurt, cheese and cold cut (4 kinds) platter, super sweet melon and all sorts of fruit in season, fresh Roman tomato, mixed beans salad, eggs any way, and freshly brewed coffee - be it cappuccino, latte or just black, hot chocolate, and at least half a dozen varieties of tea. Breakfast was the highlight for us, as it would sustain us until the end of each day's hike. When you come back after the workout, a clean bathroom, comfortable bed, well stocked mini bar, cable TV, consistent wifi connection, and in our case, air-conditioning all helped us to chill out and relax. There's great music playing in the terrace which offered a breathtaking view of Levanto, and the staff were happy to make us a cuppa in the evenings. Laundry service is also available for a fee. Carlo recommended a great (and ridiculously cheap) restaurant in the next village of Lavaggioroso, where we gorged ourselves on a hearty meal made from local produce. We congratulated ourselves each and every day we stayed there how lucky we were to have found this gem, and we thank the staff whole-heartedly for their hospitality. P. S. for those who want to surf the Ligurian sea, Carlo and Francesco are your go-to men!

Bel endroit très calme et très belle vue depuis la terrasse et la chambre mais assez isolé. La route pour aller à Levanto est assez difficile car nombreux virages et assez dangereuse surtout la nuit. Chambre spacieuse et très propre manque la clim! Bel intérieur et très bon accueil.

Schöne, ruhige Lage mit tollem Blick auf die Bucht. Zimmer groß, sauber, gut ausgestattet Sehr gutes und reichhaltiges Frühstück. Ausgesprochen aufmerksame Gastgeber. Wir haben uns sehr gut gefühlt in dem B&B und würden jederzeit wieder hin.

Splendid location overlooking Levanto from above. Located in a charming small village. Good breakfast. We had a problem with the air conditioner and the room was really too hot. The stay was still pleasant!

Lovely place, welcoming hospitality, very kind manager and staff. Great respect for the place and all guests. Excellent starting point to visit Levanto and all the 5 lands.

Tutto davvero molto bello. I gestii gentilissimi e disponibili. Lo consiglio.

B&B assolutamente bellissimo, ottima posizione per chi volesse vedere le Cinque Terre sia a piedi che in treno; da fare anche il trekking da Levanto a Monterosso passando da Punta Mesco. Carlo e Francesco sono molto ospitali e cordialissimi; danno tutte le informazioni di cui si ha bisogno per il trekking, il mare e tanto altro. La colazione è buonissima; tutto fatto in casa, fresco e varia ogni giorno. Le camere sono molto pulite, spaziose e arredate bene. Il paesino vicino, Bonassola è molto piccolo ma carino ed ha una bella spiaggia. Ci torneremo sicuramente.
