Hotel Metropole in Santa Margherita Ligure, open June–November.
Hotel Metropole commands a clifftop position along the Italian Riviera, where the Ligurian Sea stretches across the horizon and pine-covered slopes descend toward the water.
Built directly above Santa Margherita Ligure's waterfront, the 4.5-star property offers unobstructed Mediterranean views from terraces and reception spaces.
The hotel's Belle Époque architecture and modern amenities create a seaside setting 110 meters above sea level, with direct coastal access via private pathways.
Hotel Metropole was a perfect choice for our stay in Santa Margherita Ligure. The service was impeccable with exceptional attention to every detail. They even took notice of my birthday with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco and a nice greeting from the hotel. Our junior suite was cozy and clean with two balconies facing the sea. Breakfast was delicious, on Women's Day female guests received flowers as part of the breakfast service. Dinner at the hotel was also definitely worth trying. The relaxing spa, beautiful garden, private beach, clean facilities, great food, and sophisticated atmosphere would easily make Metropole a five star experience, but it was the top-notch service that made our stay memorable.
