The upscale
44-room Hotel Riviera dei Fiori is in a quiet, beachfront area of San Lorenzo al Mare,
just a 10-minute walk from the town center. Rooms have a bright, contemporary
design with beautiful mosaic tile bathrooms plus terraces with sea or garden
views. The private, seasonal beach with lounge chairs draws plenty of couples (and a few families) and the hotel also has an on-site restaurant and bar plus a free breakfast buffet. The hotel has a modern on-site spa that includes a steam room and sauna,
but use of the facilities costs extra and requires reservations. Wi-Fi is free and there is plenty of free parking here as well.

Scene
Contemporary hotel with panoramic views and stylish design features
This hotel has a bright and breezy atmosphere throughout as well as interesting design features, like antique road bikes mounted in the hotel's lobby beside rows of bookshelves. The bikes are a nod to Gianni Cozzi, a local entrepreneur who helped create the 24-kilometer bike path that runs past the hotel. Floor-to-ceiling windows and neutral-tone seating
give the common areas an airy vibe that runs through the
lobby, the restaurant, and bar, all of which are arranged in a two-story circle -- a design scheme that feels modern and vintage at the same time. Colorful mood lighting in the Spa Jaracanda
looks sharp against light marble and granite tiles, and there is a gorgeous terrace that offers panoramic views of the sea, marina, and town. Guests
here are mostly couples, though some families pass through as well.
Location
On the beach in San Lorenzo al Mare -- walk to town in 10 minutes
The beachfront Hotel
Riviera dei Fiori is in the heart of western Liguria, on a
private road just outside of San Lorenzo al Mare. The Marina di San Lorenzo is adjacent, as is the bike path that leads to Ospedaletti, a neighboring coastal town. It takes around 10 minutes to walk to San Lorenzo's town
center, where guests can find shops and restaurants, but there isn't much in the immediate area in the way of entertainment or activities. The town of Cervo is within a 20-minute drive, while Alassio and Sanremo are less
than 40 minutes away by car. The prehistoric Balzi Rossi Caves take around 50 minutes to reach by car, and France's Cote d'Azur (the French Riviera) begins just beyond that (Nice takes a little over an hour to reach by road).
The Cote d’Azur Airport and Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport are both around an hour
and 10-minute drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Beachy and chic, with terraces and marvelous tile bathrooms
Sea tones and light wood
flooring create an immediately elegant and modern atmosphere in guest rooms, with large sliding glass doors letting in plenty of Mediterranean light to make rooms feel airy and bright. Tan leather padded headboards look vintage and chic against soft blue glass accent walls, and furniture throughout has classic Italian lines. Framed maritime photos complete the seaside ambience. All air-conditioned rooms have terraces with seating and wonderful
sea or garden views, as well as flat-screen TVs and minibars. Suites offer
extra, separate living space plus stylish sepia-toned photo murals of things like nautilus shells, while whitewashed wood beams add a rustic quality to the spaces. Brown mosaic tile adorns
the contemporary bathrooms, with white oval sinks and heated towel racks.
Glassed-in tile showers feature rainfall showerheads, and high-end toiletries are provided.
Features
Private beach, on-site restaurant and bar, and full-service spa
A long, seasonal private
beach is the highlight for most guests here, and the hotel hosts lively beach parties on certain weekend nights. Rooms include beach access plus chairs and umbrellas, but some guests have reported having to pay for towels. There is no on-site pool or fitness center. Sophisticated Ligurian and Mediterranean cuisines are served
at the Le Camelie Ristorante, which also has a bar with a wide selection of wines. A free
breakfast is served here as well, which includes cakes, fruit, cheeses, ham, and biscuits. Room service is available 24 hours a day. The full-service Spa Jaracanda offers a hot tub and sauna in addition to a
steam room, but reservations are required and there is
an hourly fee. Additionally, spa staff are on-call and not on-site at the spa. The hotel has bicycles for rent, an especially nice feature given the lovely coastal bike path that sits just outside. A computer is provided for guest use and small pets are allowed with a
daily fee. Free Wi-Fi is offered in addition to free garage and outdoor
parking.
