Grand Hotel Miramare
Grand Hotel Miramare is the epitome of Italian Riviera glamour. This palatial former villa welcomes guests to 78 rooms and suites adorned with antique furnishings, crystal chandeliers and Persian rugs atop parquet floors. (Book accommodations with a balcony overlooking the sea.) The earth-toned e’SPAce offers a serene setting for well-being; consider an open-air massage in the park gazebo. Enjoy the saltwater pool, or special arrangements at the Rapallo Golf Course, one of Italy’s prettiest. The charming fishing town of Portofino is minutes away, and the Cinque Terre are easy to reach by train or boat for an unforgettable day.
Have a prosecco at sunset on Vistamare restaurant’s terrace, followed by masterfully prepared dishes from Chef Claudio Fortuna. Join him on an outing to the local fish market.
