Albergo Serena

Perched on the hills of lower Val di Magra in Arcola, this family-friendly beach hotel sits a short walk from Lerici and about 2 km from the sea. Beaches, the Lerici ferry to Palmaria Island and Cinque Terre, Montemarcello Regional Park and Golf Club Marigola are all within easy reach.

Just 19 individually decorated rooms with private balconies or patios, many offering sea, hill or village views. Rooms feature private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads, a professional hair dryer and a welcome kit, plus central heating for cooler nights. The property feels like a quiet, ancient village hideaway with terraces and garden outlooks.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and sip coffee on the terrace or in the garden. Standout perks include complimentary Wi‑Fi, bicycles to rent, a picnic and BBQ area, a TV lounge and a relaxation area. Free self-parking makes beach days easy, and the hotel offers tour/ticket assistance for hikes, diving excursions and island trips.

Express check-in and check-out and multilingual staff streamline stays. Complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking keep logistics simple for work or play.

Breakfast is a highlight — a complimentary buffet of fresh fruit, handmade cakes, original waffles, yogurt and classic coffee and cappuccino, plus plenty of local Ligurian specialties. There’s also a bar/lounge and a café on site for relaxed evening drinks or a quick pick-me-up.
