Apartment Grand Hotel Villa Balbi

Looking out over the Gulf of Tigullio, the Grand Hotel Villa Balbi is one of the most original and stunning 4 star hotels in Sestri Levante, a picturesque little seaside town approximately halfway between Genoa and La Spezia. Trendy shops and great places to eat crowd the town's narrow streets, and there are lots of opportunities to do water sports, go walking and jogging, and play some tennis or golf in the vicinity. Built in the 17th century as the holiday villa for the aristocratic Genoese Brignole family, Villa Balbi has been a favourite place for summer and winter getaways every since. This aristocratic mansion boasts grandiose halls, marbles, and manicured gardens, making this luxury Sestri Levante hotel an architectural marvel. You can enjoy the finest Ligurian cuisine and a wide range of international dishes at the hotel's fine restaurant Il Parco. The hotel also features a private beach, an outdoor swimming pool, and five beautifully furnished conference rooms, which can host business meetings and social gatherings for up to 100 people. Free wireless internet access is available in the lobby.
