Mare Hotel

Savona


The four-star seafront Mare with its infinity pool, private beach and candle-lit open-air restaurant is Italian beach bling in action. New rooms adopt a Milanese nightclub aesthetic, while older rooms are comfortable, if a little frumpy. It's 2km west along the beach from the station – regular buses run there.
