Best Western Regina Elena

On the scenic sea road to Portofino in Santa Margherita Ligure, Hotel Regina Elena sits above its own private beach and garden. Minutes from Villa Durazzo and Portofino Marina, with Paraggi Beach and Castello Brown a short drive away — a true beach-hotel base that’s pet-friendly and family-friendly.

Modern, sea-view rooms — most with balconies — keep things simple and stylish: minibars, flat-screen TVs, safes, coffee/tea facilities and Wi‑Fi. The rooftop solarium (open May–October) features a heated pool and Jacuzzi with panoramic Ligurian views. The vibe is coastal-chic and relaxed, with easy access from the garden down to the beach.

Private beach with restaurant and beach bar, rooftop heated pool and Jacuzzi, outdoor pool area with sun loungers and free towel service, terrace bar serving cocktails and snacks, on-site spa (extra charge), fitness center and diving club, ping-pong and kids’ play area. Covered private parking available for a nominal fee; some facilities may be seasonal.
