La Rossola Resort in Bonassola, open June–November.
La Rossola Resort occupies a restored 19th-century villa in Bonassola, a Ligurian clifftop village overlooking the Mediterranean.
Originally built as a noble family residence, the property underwent extensive renovation to become a contemporary hotel while preserving period architectural elements and terraced gardens.
The venue sits directly above the Cinque Terre coastline, offering ceremony and reception spaces with unobstructed sea views.
Beautiful place on top of the hill! Be aware that the road up to the resort is very steep and narrow without any streetlights. Some people might not be comfortable driving up here! But for us it was totally worth the drive. The calm atmosphere and beautiful gardens make for a very relaxing stay. Also the staff were really nice and are very hospitable, they helped us with any requests we had. The pool is also great to enjoy on a hot day and straight from the property you can access a hiking trail to walk up to the tops of 2 surrounding mountains. For us it was a 10 out of 10
