Mayola Hotel

On Lungomare delle Nazioni in San Bartolomeo al Mare, this beach hotel sits on the Diano Marina Gulf promenade. It's a pet-friendly, family-friendly pick a short drive from Molo delle Tartarughe (about 2 minutes) and roughly 9 minutes from Museo dell'Olivo. The town centre and the Matisse Museum are within easy walking distance.

Seventy-six air-conditioned rooms feature LCD TVs, safes, desks and private bathrooms with bathtubs or showers, bidets, toiletries and hairdryers. Rooms and public areas offer complimentary Wi‑Fi. The property fronts the promenade and offers a seawater swimming pool with jacuzzi and direct beach access; some facilities run seasonally.

Dip in the seawater pool with jacuzzi, relax on sunbeds (extra charge) or rent a bicycle to cruise the coast. A terrace, arcade/game room and a children's playroom add low-key fun. Pets are allowed on request for an extra charge with some restrictions in public areas.

Complimentary wireless internet and a computer station keep you connected. A library, multilingual staff and 24-hour reception make short work of logistics.

An on-site restaurant focuses on local and Italian recipes, while a bar/lounge and snack deli cover lighter cravings. Buffet breakfasts are available daily for a fee from 8:00 to 9:30.
