This impressive property is set just outside Santa Margherita Ligure, a short walk from the beach and the center. Hotel La Vela-Castello Il Rifugio combines modern comforts with a classic design. Each of the 14 guest rooms is air conditioned. In common areas you will find Wi-Fi access. Downstairs in the lounge you can relax by the fireplace and enjoy a drink from the bar. In warm weather, spend your days sunbathing in the garden or admiring the sea view on the terrace. The friendly team of staff at La Vela will always be on hand to share local knowledge and provide useful tourist information. The hotel features a small car park. From S. Margherita Ligure you can easily reach Portofino (by car, bus and boat) and Cinque Terre (by train and by boat).
