Villa della Pergola
Alassio, Liguria
Good Hotel Guide Review
A former haunt of English noblemen, this B&B is a conversion of two pink colonial-style villas once owned by Sir Daniel Hanbury. It stands above the town in a park with magnolias, eucalyptus, cypresses, olive trees and jacaranda, and panoramic views of the Baia del Sole on the Ligurian coast. ‘Not a ritzy glitzy place but an absolute joy,’ says its nominator. ‘Bountiful breakfast on the terrace: good coffee, wonderful home-baked cakes, fruits, yogurts, freshly squeezed orange juice. Good value.’ Some bedrooms have a fireplace, some open on to a loggia or patio, some have a private sitting-out area. One large room has its own small children’s room and a huge spa bath. The architecture is stunning [beams, arches, old windows and a handsome Carrara marble staircase], and the buildings are full of historical interest.’ The beach is a ten-minute walk down (‘you have to feel energetic for the walk back’).

Other reviews
Magical house and stunningly beautiful gardens with charming, helpful staff. We felt like guests at a rather grand, but wonderfully comfortable private house. Palacial bedrooms or suites, some with terrace, all with lovely views. Delicious breakfasts, lunch and dinner served with style on the panoramic terrace with views out over Alassio and the coast below. Filled with antique furniture and a marvellous collection of local paintings and historic memorabilia. Situated above the town a steep but pleasant, 15-minute stroll down to the town and its four-mile long sandy beach.
