This grand old hotel slung in a skyscraping hammock of greenery in the midst of the Tigullio’s parkland halfway between Camogli and Rapallo/Santa Margherita Ligure was opened in 1908 but for decades stood derelict until Camogli’s Cenobio dei Dogi overhauled it to reopen in 2000. The long vistas sweep across the forest down to the Riviera north of the promontory toward Genoa in one direction, and in the other south over Santa Margherita Ligure down the coast toward the Cinque Terre. Many balconies and rooftop terraces take full advantage of the panoramas. The modest-size, carpeted rooms come with wrought-iron bedsteads, stylish furnishings, marble bathrooms, and queen-size beds. The best ones come with those sea views from balconies. The hotel hosts lots of conventions during the week, turning to a tourism-based clientele on the weekends. Four rooms are in a separate structure a smidgen higher up the driveway, with even better views.
