Accommodation
Genoa
Located in Genoa’s historical center, this location is a 16th-century noble palace that has been meticulously renovated into a charming and intimate hotel. Architectural details have been beautifully preserved and paired with contemporary design and minimalist furnishings to create dramatic and comfortable guest rooms and elegant public spaces and halls overlooking the quiet square. Just steps from the Duomo, the San Lorenzo cathedral, you can also easily walk to the city’s museums, restaurants, and cafés, and the Old Port area with its aquarium, Renzo Pianodesigned Bigo elevator, and pirate ship.
Sestri Levante
In a privileged location on the Peninsula of Sestri Levante above the ancient town walls, this four-star castle hotel with extensive grounds and manicured gardens overlooks the entire coast. Light-filled and spacious, guestrooms have classic furnishings and polished wood floors. A grand entry, public lounges, and solarium terrace evoke 1920s glamor and style, while a private elevator descends to the town center, promenade, and marina. A private swimming area includes a seawater enclosure with beach lounges and bar, with an outlet onto the natural rocky shore. Among many dining options, the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant offers indoor and alfresco seating with such regional specialties as pink gnocchi with seafood and pine nuts or catch of the day with Mediterranean flavors.
Sestri Levante
Overnight: Manarola In the heart of Manarola—the second-smallest of the five Cinque Terre towns, and probably the oldest—this family-run bed and breakfast consists of a main building with a garden and stunning terrace overlooking the vineyards and sea. Nestled amongst the pastel-colored buildings and medieval church, accommodations are either spacious guestrooms or studio-style apartments with white tile floors and comfortable simple furnishings. You are welcomed like family in this exceptional setting; breakfast on the private terrace always includes homemade baked goods, and later you are invited into the kitchen for a cooking lesson on authentic Ligurian basil pesto.
