L. A.

Had lunch there on Santo Stefano with my family. The place was very welcoming, the staff were kind and friendly. My relatives all chose the tasting menu and were very satisfied. I, unfortunately, have difficult tastes, so I asked for the à la carte menu, and they were very kind and let me choose, satisfying everyone at the table. The service wasn't too fast or slow, and they waited just the right amount of time between courses. The restaurant was very clean and pleasant. They also have a spa, but we weren't able to use it. We'll definitely return, both for the excellent food and for their wellness program. Surrounded by greenery, a quiet place. Spacious parking. Highly recommended.

Excellent spa, with reservations required, and excellent massage. The attached restaurant is also very good.

Matteo Ferrando

My girlfriend and I enjoyed the room, restaurant, and spa. Everything was excellent: cleanliness, friendliness, and professionalism. We were so pleased that we returned again a few months later. Highly recommended.

We didn't stay at Villa Elia, but we did visit the spa, and it was a truly pleasant experience. The spa is small but well-maintained and welcoming, with a beautiful window overlooking the garden, creating a relaxing and bright atmosphere. What we appreciated most was that the space is private for your group: two hours of complete relaxation, alone, without anyone else. Afterward, you can continue enjoying the pool for as long as you like, a truly fantastic bonus. You can also combine lunch or an aperitif, perfect for completing a day of wellness and tranquility. Highly recommended for those looking for a relaxing experience to share with friends or as a couple!

A romantic getaway, full of relaxation 🙃 Very nice property, with a lovely spa and a heated pool to enjoy with your partner. Extremely kind and helpful staff. A great thing is that you can have both lunch and dinner at their restaurant, where the food is truly delicious! I recommend Villa Elia to anyone who wants to escape the routine and stress of everyday life and relax.

I've only been to the private spa, which is very clean and has all the necessary amenities! Highly recommended for couples and groups of friends!

I stayed one night at this property and was very satisfied. The room was spacious, basic but clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the heated pool. The dinner was really good, and the breakfast buffet was a pleasant surprise: a great balance of sweet and savory, with the option of regular and vegan pastries, which is unusual. The staff was kind and helpful, trying to accommodate our every request. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay: a perfect place to unwind.

For our anniversary this year, we treated ourselves to a getaway at Villa Elia. We purchased the Spa Night, Gourmet & Relaxation package for couples, arriving on Saturday and departing on Sunday... well, we had a great time, not just WONDERFUL! New and well-kept rooms, friendly and smiling staff, a family atmosphere... we truly relaxed... and the massage was simply fabulous. Upon our arrival, we had also booked Sunday lunch at Villa Elia's restaurant... so in the morning, we enjoyed the heated pool again before heading to lunch. The restaurant is fabulous. The food was excellent, authentic, and tasty. All the dishes, both Saturday evening (the menu included in the package) and Sunday (the à la carte menu), were a feast for our taste buds. Everything was excellent, but in my opinion, the chestnut gnocchi with mushroom sauce and the crepes with mushroom and truffle fondue are definitely worth trying. I can't recommend it enough!!! Excellent!!

I've been to the restaurant, which is excellent, offering traditional cuisine with a slightly improved twist. The service is excellent. I don't agree with their menu policy: if you want the full menu, everyone at your table has to order it. It's a shame, I would have gladly ordered it, but the other two people at the table ordered other dishes, so instead of a full menu (€40), I only ordered a first course (€14), much to my disappointment and the restaurant owner's loss of revenue.

Antonio Manca

An unforgettable experience, thanks to the supervision of Alice, the owners' daughter, who has transformed Villa Elia into an excellent location with a spa in Calizzano! Everything was perfect, we're so thrilled that we return often to enjoy the excellent dishes prepared by a truly exceptional chef! Highly recommended!

The rooms aren't overly large, but they're very clean, with TVs and hairdryers in the bathrooms. The lack of a mini-bar is a shame, but the host quickly fixed that, taking care of my food and collecting it from his own refrigerators. The hosts are always smiling, on-the-job, and very polite. The restaurant is a real highlight, with its meat menu always tender and delicious, and the other dishes were equally as delicious. I recommend it, especially for a few days of relaxing in the spa.

Unforgettable experience. A fantastic day followed by a fabulous night in this facility that seamlessly blends tradition and innovation. The spa is ultra-modern, with truly extraordinary attention to cleanliness. You immediately get the sense of care and passion for their work, which is certainly an added bonus. The staff was always attentive and gentle in explaining, illustrating, and showcasing the facility's unique features. We spent the entire day followed by an unforgettable night. Silence is part of the experience, and the feeling of complete relaxation is palpable. The water in the stunning pool is warm, the seats are incredibly comfortable, and the two hours of "private" spa experience are a thrill, even if it passes too quickly... Finally, the food was another pleasant experience: everything was delicious and the service exceptional. It was wonderful to then have lunch in a bathrobe in a charming dedicated room. The poolside aperitif was lovely, and dinner at the restaurant was delicious in a pleasant and elegant setting, featuring local specialties with an unmistakable flavor. What can I say, we have to try it again and again, we are already madly in love with it ❤️

Mavi Prato

The property is in a good location and offers good value for money. Comfortable room, medium-high quality restaurant, and extremely kind and helpful staff. Highly recommended in every way.

Gaby Gaby

A truly charming place, with extremely kind and welcoming staff. The only downside, unfortunately, is the hairdryer: it requires you to hold the button down constantly, which proved to be a real hassle for me, as I have a considerable amount of hair. They do offer shampoo and conditioner, but I suggest bringing your own for a better experience.

I recently stayed at this facility. The spa is very beautiful, clean, and meticulously maintained: the atmosphere is relaxing and the treatments are high-quality. However, I noticed one aspect that deserves attention: the staff is forced to perform too many different tasks, from reception to massages, table service, and housekeeping. They are all kind and professional, but this constant multitasking risks diminishing their expertise and impacting the guest experience. It would be desirable for such a well-organized facility to better value its staff, because well-being begins with those who work to deliver it.

Villa Elia is a restaurant situate in Calizzano, a pleasant small town in the Liguria mountains. The dining room is clean and confortable and the staff is friendly and efficient. I was in Villa Elia …

Bar Not

Honestly, I thought I'd eat better, having received excellent reviews, perhaps there were too many people when I went for lunch, the mushroom risotto was overcooked.
