Perched on a hillside with panoramic views of the Mediterranean, this Liberty-style house on the Gulf of Varazze is popular with Italian tourists and has an interesting history, having served as a command center for the Germans during World War II. The property is conveniently close to the water and secluded enough from the main road that noise is not a problem. With tasty food in the restaurant and amenities that include free bike rentals and a large rooftop solarium, this hotel provides the right touches for a simple seaside getaway, especially for families. Some travelers may be put off by the lack of air-conditioning and small bathrooms. A one-week minimum stay is generally required from March through September.
