Grand Hotel dei Castelli  

Perched on the Sestri Levante peninsula above a seaside park, with sweeping views of the Gulf of Tigullio. A private elevator links the hotel to the town centre, promenade and harbour — Spiaggia di Portobello is about 0.2 mi away and Libera Beach about 0.3 mi. Set in a former castle, the upscale 48-room Grand Hotel dei Castelli blends historic flair with immediate beach access.

Think castle terraces, panoramic solarium and quiet, art-filled rooms where modern comforts meet classic stone. Rooms feature LCD TVs, mini-bars, safes and desks, plus daily housekeeping and complimentary toiletries. A 0.6 mi / 1 km ring walking trail winds through the park outside. Not a pet-friendly property.

Relax on sun-drenched terraces and the panoramic solarium, or take seasonal dips — an outdoor pool and private beach (sandy and rocky areas) are available mid-May to mid-September for an extra charge. On-site perks include a massage room, diving club access, a library, parking zone and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and end the day with romantic Gulf sunsets.

Conference hall and meeting/presentation facilities are available, plus a tour desk and transfer service to help plan group logistics. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and an elevator provides accessible access to upper floors.

Dine on the castle’s enchanting terraces at Restaurant dei Castelli, serving international and local dishes with seafood specialities. The panoramic American bar is perfect for a relaxed drink. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 7:30–10:00 and limited room service is available.
