Al Castello Residenza D’Epoca

Al Castello Residenza D’Epoca is a guest house set in a medieval castle on the seafront of Pietra Ligure, in Liguria, just 150 metres from the beach. The entirely non-smoking property retains the charm of its ancient walls and offers a restaurant, a terrace and a shared kitchen for guests to use.

The rooms, all with private bathroom, range from the Double Room to the 40 m² Family Room, which can accommodate up to four people with a double bed, a single bed and a sofa bed. Some room types feature air conditioning and a bathtub, making the property suitable both for couples and for small groups visiting the Riviera delle Palme.

It is an address designed for those travelling with pets, welcomed free of any extra charge, and for those looking for a base just steps from restaurants, beaches and Pietra Ligure railway station. The lack of a lift, due to the historic nature of the building, is the only limitation of a property that relies on character and location.
