About the location
Holidays in Santa Margherita, situated on the Gulf of Tigullio between
Rapallo and
Portofino, offer an enticing combination of that glorious style which Italians bring to their seaside resorts. An unrivalled natural environment meets thought provoking cultural attractions and great food and entertainment.
It’s a lovely resort for couples, full of life, full of opportunity but also with space and time to take it easy, to enjoy each other’s company and to enjoy the Riviera experience. The beaches, where you can hire deckchairs, sunbeds and umbrellas, are a mix of public and private and primarily pebble with just a few sandy ones. But move closer to Portofino, around five kilometres away, and you’ll discover more sandy beaches. A great example is the beautiful Paraggi Beach, which is surrounded by all the bars and restaurants you will ever need.
If pebbles or sand between your toes are not for you, there are some really nice gardens and open spaces to enjoy on your holidays in Santa Margherita.

The hotel is 45 minutes from Genoa airport. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.

“ A wonderful oasis on the Italian riviera

One of the best hotels I???ve had the privilege to stay at, anywhere in the world. I wish I had done a better job of reviewing each hotel I???ve ever used, so the comparison would be more obvious, but this is simply stellar. A hotel that on one level feels like a time machine to another era, it is also perfectly designed for a modern vacationer. Astounding service (they made our bed each morning the moment we left, as a minor example) the staff are friendly, incredibly competent, and warm. Not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but for a splurge you definitely feel like it is worth every penny.

This was our first weekend break since lock-down but when we arrived the cleanliness, mask wearing and meticulous disinfecting left us feeling very confident and reassured during our vacation. Additionally, I was here during my birthday. Although we had not mentioned this to staff my husband and I were pleasantly surprised that the hotel had left a card and complementary Prosecco in our room to help our celebrations. Fantastic attention to detail and excellent staff!!

This is a great quiet hotel overlooking the sea with excellent service and despite being a little away from the main action in town it is a close walk (5 mins around the corner) to the restaurants and shopping. (15 min walk to train station or short taxi ride) Loved the private beach access (although it is typical Mediterranean style with small stones and not sand.) Pool was great too and couples massages in the spa were excellent. We used Santa Margherita as a home base for a quick 5 min ferry ride to Portofino, a 45 min train ride to Genoa and a 30 min or so ride to Cinque Terre towns. Breakfast or dinner overlooking the sea was perfect. The Marconi suite overlooking the sea was amazing. You wont be disappointed here!

All the CoVid rules were respected without making us once feel in a hospital
or uncomfortable.
What a wonderful place.
Thank you for your work and for looking after us so well.
See you very soon.
