Hotel Ristorante La Riserva di Castel d'Appio

Frommer's Review

There are plenty of narrow, switchback, two-lane roads in Italy, but the one up here may take the cake. The "castel" is actually a modern hotel, with modular furnishings and lurid chipped-stone floors but fantastic coastal panoramas from the room balconies, most looking west over the French Riviera and Monte Carlo, some east over Italy. Renovations have added three junior suites with such a view. In a separate building are several rooms sharing common entryways so you can have a family suite (though the owners may soon turn these into proper suites). A few ground-floor rooms lack the sweeping views but open onto small lawns as compensation. The restaurant is on a panoramic terrace next to the pool and billiards, foosball, and Ping-Pong tables. There's a pub with karaoke, but it only opens in the months when the hotel part is closed (Oct-Mar).
