01 · In a sentence

Hotel Doria in Cavi.

Hotel Doria began operations in the early 1970s as a modest seaside retreat along the Ligurian coast, evolving into a contemporary hospitality destination while maintaining its vintage character.

This waterfront property on Lungo Torrente Barassi overlooks the Gulf of Tigullio and has been thoughtfully maintained to preserve its original charm.

Today, it serves as a full-service venue accommodating ceremonies and receptions for up to 150 guests with on-site accommodations.

I loved everything about this hotel near the pristine ocean (except the very hard beds 🤣). The rooms are very clean, it's a beautiful building steps away from the ocean with a wonderful, very large rooftop patio and exceptional meals, exceptional, friendly service from everyone at the front desk, the lovely cleaning staff, the espresso bar and dining crew. I ate so much there - tried things I wouldn't normally and seriously, with the servings they have - you'll probably want to skip lunch! It's a coastal village, so be prepared for plenty of seafood options. We left our car in the underground hotel parking and went to other towns by bus - convenient and nearby. This isn't your motel 6, so don't let the 3 stars worry you. You can walk and park yourself on the beach in 4 minutes and you'll want to visit the little oceanside bars there for drinks and incredible coffee. La ringraziamo tutti a Hotel Doria ❤️🙏 la nostra vacanza era stupenda!
