Belvedere Hotel

The care the team gives every guest really stood out, and the food, cycling, and happy atmosphere were all wonderful. The stay went well beyond what I expected.

What a treat to have a holiday where I didn't have to cook. The meals were gourmet, and there was plenty of sightseeing for me even though I'm not a serious cyclist. On an e-bike I got to see castles and farms and enjoy the countryside. Our two kids, aged 13 and 8, had a kids club or babysitter available, while the rest of us could choose the beach, promenade, shopping, a pasta-making class, yoga, or simply relaxing. The staff were incredible and friendly, with none of the stuffiness of the Ritz. Thank you Nicholas, Julia, Mario, Denis, Glen, Dinello, Pablo, Queen Marina, and King Chef for another amazing holiday. We’re grateful you shared your hotel home with us and gave us a taste of Dolce Vita. See you next year, my friends!

Marina has made the Belvedere into a real community, as well as a five-star hotel and cycling business. I’ve stayed twice, and after sending at least 15 people there, every one of them came back raving about it. The food and staff are fantastic. If I could, I’d return every year. Well done, Belvedere Family, you’re so welcoming and wonderful.

We loved the cycling, especially getting to know the guides and choosing routes to suit different distances and levels. The rides also gave us a taste of the local culture: castles, including five in one day, San Marino, churches, a secret crypt shown by one guide, and a farm visit with wine tasting. The routes were complex, so having the guides there was a real help. The food was unbeatable, with such a wide choice of meals, snacks, drinks, and special foods that we almost never ate outside the hotel. Our room had a sea view, balcony, king-sized bed, and wonderfully strong AC. It worked beautifully for us as a couple on cycling days and as a family with young kids, too. Our four-person accommodation was right for us, with a nanny for my one-year-old and a kids club for my older child. She had so much fun she still talks about Lorenzo and the Taylor Swift pool parties. It was a custom experience because the kids club was all girls that week. It was our first visit to hotel Belvedere, and now I understand why so many guests return. Marina puts her heart into making people feel at home, even inviting guests to her villa for a lunch event. The hospitality was hard to beat. This was hands down the best holiday we’ve had together, and we’d go back in a heartbeat. Thanks again, Belvedere family!
