Immersed in a lush garden with Mediterranean vegetation, this historic villa features an outdoor swimming pool. Set on the seaside of Sestri Levante, it enjoys views of the Gulf of Tigullio.
With wooden furniture and classic décor, rooms at Villa Balbi have an elegant feel. Some overlook the garden, others the historic centre, and some offer sea views. They provide free Wi-fi.
Public spaces feature antique furnishings, marble and elegant chandeliers. Grand Hotel Villa Balbi includes a 17th-century villa that was home to aristocratic families.
Regional cooking, seafood specialities and homemade desserts are served at Il Parco restaurant. During the summer months, it is possible to dine in the garden.
The hotel is in Sestri Levante’s centre. Genoa and La Spezia are about 45 minutes’ drive away.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.9 for a two-person trip.
