Hotel Ristorante La Riserva di Castel d'Appio

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. All superior doubles and suites have a large balcony overlooking the water. A few ground-floor standard doubles 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.
