Probably the best overall hotel that I've stayed at to date. We were greeted very warmed by Ken. Such a kind and helpful man, my shy kids even felt comfortable asking him questions. The entire staff was very kind and helpful. Always checking on you as you walked by. The property itself is stunning and fairly priced for all the amazing amenities. Can't say enough good thing about this hotel. High praise from the kids too.

The grounds and setting are amazing. Our dinner server was a little up tight and did not help us enjoy the evening as much as we had hoped. We had a big dinner with drinks, a bottle of wine etc. He seemed overly concerned about ordering the food before kitchen closed.

We had a lovely stay at the Montenotte. The rooms were very comfortable with plenty of amenities, although a bit warm and stuffy without air-con, so I found it a bit difficult to sleep. To their credit a fan is provided but they can be a bit noisy. The hotel has beautiful grounds and a nice restaurant and bars. Parking was a bit busy and we did struggle once or twice. Overall we really like the hotel ambiance and decor.
