Da Gin is a 3-star hotel in Castelbianco, a small village in the Ligurian hinterland in the Pennavaire Valley, about 40 km from the coast and the beaches of the Bay of the Saracens.
The property has a garden, a terrace with outdoor furniture, a common room with TV area and free private parking, convenient for those arriving by car in this hilly area not always served by public transport. WiFi is free throughout the property, while breakfast is served every morning with Italian, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, designed to meet different needs.
The rooms, spread across triple, quadruple, single, a suite and a double with single beds, range in size from 12 to 25 square metres and offer views of the garden or the surrounding mountains. The hotel is a good base for those who want to enjoy hiking, cycling and horse riding in the Savona hinterland, away from the coastal hustle but still reachable from the riviera in less than an hour by car.
Da Gin’s rooms comprise five room types, from the more compact single of 12 sqm to the suite of 25 sqm with a separate sitting area, along with the triple, the quadruple and the double with single beds. All rooms have a private bathroom with toiletries, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, heating and tiled flooring, and several enjoy garden views or views of the mountains of the Pennavaire Valley.
The main differences concern capacity and distinctive details: the Quadruple Room is the only one with a balcony, the Suite is the only one with a sitting area and a French bed in a space separate from the living area, while the Single Room remains the most suitable choice for solo travellers. The combination of single and French double beds makes the spaces flexible for families and small groups.
Room of 18 sqm with garden and mountain views, featuring a private bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries. Suitable for small groups thanks to the combination of a single bed and a French double bed.
The largest of the multiple rooms, at 19 sqm and accommodating up to 4 people. It is the only one with a balcony, with views of a quiet street in the village, ideal for large families or groups of friends.
The most compact room in the property, designed for solo travellers. It has a private bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries, plus a quiet view of a street in the village.

Double room of 15 sqm configurable with a French double bed, designed for two people. It is the simplest and most straightforward option among those available, with no stated panoramic view.
Da Gin focuses on outdoor common spaces and an informal atmosphere, typical of small hotels in the Ligurian hinterland. The garden, the terrace with outdoor furniture and the sun terrace are available to guests for relaxing between excursions, while the common room with TV area offers an indoor gathering spot.
More active guests can arrange bike tours, walking excursions, cooking classes and even horse riding outings offered by the property, as well as tours on local culture to get to know the Pennavaire Valley area better. Attention is also given to younger guests, with family rooms available, and to visitors’ pets, thanks to the bowls provided.
On the security front, the hotel offers key access, smoke and security alarms, fire extinguishers and 24-hour security, while the free private parking makes arriving by car easier in this hilly area.
Da Gin is located in the small village of Castelbianco, in the hinterland of the province of Savona, in a hilly area crossed by the Pennavaire Valley and surrounded by woods and quiet trails. It is a rural, peaceful area, far from the traffic of the Ligurian riviera, where life still follows the rhythms of small stone villages.
The coast and the Bay of the Saracens are about 40 km away, while the nearest airport, Riviera Airport, is just 7 km away. For those arriving from further afield, Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 69 km away. In the village and surrounding area there are a few restaurants just steps from the hotel, such as A Ca du Ricci at 350 metres and Scola at 700 metres, useful for dining without having to drive.
The area is particularly suited to those who love outdoor activities: the property itself offers hiking, cycling and horse riding, while in the warmer months the trails of the Pennavaire Valley are ideal for walks and bike excursions among olive groves and chestnut woods. In winter the pace slows down, ideal for those seeking quiet and an authentic connection with the Ligurian hinterland, with the possibility of reaching nearby villages and the coast within a day.
Guests especially praise the staff, rated almost perfectly, and the cleanliness of the rooms, both clear strengths. Comfort also receives very positive reviews, while location and value for money remain solid, though somewhat more modest.
