Hotel Villa Anita in Santa Margherita Ligure, open June–November.
Guests arrive at this coastal hotel to find themselves steps from Santa Margherita Ligure's harbor, where Mediterranean views frame every ceremony moment.
The property offers 40 rooms across multiple buildings, allowing families and wedding parties to wake up together before celebrations begin.
What lingers in memory is the combination of intimate Italian Riviera charm with genuine hospitality—a place where logistics disappear and only the experience remains.
The attention to detail here was superb! Dyson dryer, doggie bed (that was actually clean), sauna, gym, and awesome breakfast. My boyfriend and I were at a bigger, well known “luxury” hotel right before this and we both agreed that Hotel Villa Anita had much better hospitality and felt more welcoming overall. We had an early train and they made sure to set up breakfast earlier than usual for us to eat. Very happy with our stay.
