Hotel Laurin in Santa Margherita Ligure.
Your guests arrive at Hotel Laurin to discover a four-story seaside property where the Ligurian coastline becomes your ceremony backdrop.
They'll wake to Mediterranean views, share meals on terraces overlooking the water, and remember the moment the sun dropped into the sea during your reception.
The hotel transforms the mechanics of travel into part of the celebration—everyone stays under one roof, dinner extends into evening conversations, and there's no awkward goodbye at the end of the night.
We are a family of four adults from Australia travelling in Europe and have just spent 10 days in the lovely Hotel Laurin. The hotel is in the heart of Santa Margherita with all of the bars, restaurants, cafes and shops right on your door step. It is a 10 minute walk to the train station and across the road from the marina which makes it so easy for day tripping to other towns and the Cinque Terra by train or boat. Portofino is a beautiful one hour walk or 15 minute ferry ride. After a day of sight seeing in the heat it was wonderful to come back and relax at the roof top pool which had plenty of very comfortable sun beds and a fabulous view. The rooms are lovely and spotlessly clean, we had a terrace with a great view across the marina which was perfect for afternoon or after dinner drinks. The hotel is a family owned and run by Stefano and his wife Paola and they are both charming and delightful. All of the staff were friendly and polite and helped us with recommendations for sight seeing and restaurants and helped us with a small medical issue booking us in with an English speaking doctor, and then followed up with us the next day to make sure everything was OK. We would highly recommend the Hotel Laurin if you are looking for lovely accommodation with the added bonus of super friendly service and old world charm.
