Grand Hotel Miramare

Grand Hotel Miramare overlooks the Gulf of Tigullio at Santa Margherita Ligure.

A grand Art Nouveau building, gleaming white in the sun between Tigullio Bay and the century-old gardens stretching out below Mount Portofino.

Welcome to the “Mira”, as owner Andrea Fustinoni affectionately calls the family hotel – elegant as a private residence with its welcoming luxurious glow, where tradition is a cherished inspiration for the here and now.

Gazing on to the verdant garden or sublime sea views, the accommodation is spacious and airy with expertly restored stucco decorations adorning the beautiful high ceilings. The walls in delicate pastel nuances evoke the colours of Ligurian tradition: sage green, pale blue, delicate pink and tones of dove grey, with white to define the spaces and reflect the light.

In the summer months, you can relax by the pool, equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas and free towels. Meanwhile, the wellness centre provides beauty treatments, massages, and a relax area.

The Vistamare restaurant serves classic Ligurian dishes in the sea view dining room, or out on the terrace. After a day visiting the Cinque Terre, a 30-minute away, guests can choose from the Miramare's 2 bars.
