B&B Torre Porta Marina is a family-run property in the heart of Ventimiglia, 800 metres from the train station and just a short walk from the seafront, in the province of Imperia.
The property offers three types of accommodation designed for different needs: from the 40 sqm Double Room with city views, to the more compact Single Room with a dual bed option, up to the spacious 60 sqm Apartment with its own kitchen, ideal for families or extended stays. All rooms have a private bathroom, flat-screen TV and air conditioning, with toiletries and a hairdryer in the bathroom. Breakfast is served every morning, and on-site covered parking, available for a fee, makes things easier for those travelling by car.
Thanks to its proximity to the French border, reachable in around ten minutes, the B&B is a practical base for exploring both the Riviera dei Fiori and the French Riviera. Bars and restaurants such as Oblo Cafe are just metres from the entrance, while the beaches of Ventimiglia are a few minutes’ walk away.
B&B Torre Porta Marina offers three accommodation options designed for different types of travellers. The Double Room, the largest among the single rooms at 40 sqm, stands out for its city view and interior sitting area. The Single Room, smaller at 15 sqm, offers two alternative bed configurations, suiting both solo travellers and those who prefer a French double bed. All rooms share a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, air conditioning and a toiletry set with hairdryer.
For those seeking more space and independence, the 60 sqm Apartment is the property’s roomiest option, with a separate bedroom, a living room with sofa bed, and a full kitchen with fridge, hob and microwave, plus a bathtub with toiletries.
The Double Room is the largest among the single rooms in the property, at 40 sqm with city views. It has an en-suite bathroom with bidet, toiletries and hairdryer, parquet flooring, flat-screen TV and air conditioning. An interior sitting area and a tea and coffee set complete the amenities, along with an iron and ironing board for those staying several days.
More compact than the Double Room, at 15 sqm with a river view, the Single Room is designed for solo travellers but can also be set up with a French double bed. The private bathroom with tiled flooring is equipped with a bidet, toiletries and hairdryer, while an iron is also available for those staying multiple nights.
The roomiest of the available accommodations, the 60 sqm Apartment is the only one with a bedroom separate from the living room and with its own kitchen, complete with hob, fridge and microwave. Its bathroom is the only one in the property with a bathtub, plus toiletries; the living room with sofa bed and coffee machine makes it suitable for families or extended stays.
B&B Torre Porta Marina offers guests a daily housekeeping service and the option to request an airport shuttle, useful for those arriving from Nice or Genoa airports. The property is entirely non-smoking and has family rooms for those travelling in groups, in addition to air conditioning throughout.
At the table, guests can request wine or champagne, and breakfast can be served directly in the room upon request. Every private bathroom is equipped with a bathtub or shower, bidet, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, plus bed linen and a clothes rack for a practical stay.
On the technology side, rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs and internet access, so guests can stay connected throughout their stay in Ventimiglia.
