Hotel will close on November 1st 2022. Will reopen on March 24th, 2023

In compliance with provisions by the Italian Government and to protect the health of the population the Management has put in place measures for the safety of our guests and staff. With its graceful architecture well-manicured tropical garden and sea water outdoor pool overlooking the Portofino coast the Grand Hotel Miramare is the ideal venue for gracious Italian living. After long exploratory walks in amazing surroundings or a day in the sun by the pool our wellness center will provide the relaxation needed for a well deserved fine dining opportunity in the hotels restaurants and terraces. The charming town of Santa Margherita Ligure is located in the very heart of the Italian Riviera and is easily reached by car by train or by boat from other destinations. Genoa is the nearest airport just a 40-minute drive away from the hotel. We are the door to visiting Portofino and Cinque Terre and many other well-hidden gems in the Tigullio region.
