Location & what to see

Eight Hotel Paraggi is located directly on Paraggi Beach, a small bay nestled between Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino, about 20 metres from the sea. The area is elegant and exclusive, a summer reference point for those seeking the most exclusive stretch of the Riviera, with some of the coast’s best-known restaurants just steps from the property: Langosteria Paraggi and Il Guscio are both less than 50 metres away, while the Abbey of San Girolamo la Cervara is about 400 metres away, among olive groves and vineyards overlooking the sea.

Portofino can be reached in just a few minutes along the coastal road, about 1 km from the hotel. The Santa Margherita Ligure – Portofino train station is about 2.9 km away, convenient for those arriving by train, while the larger Rapallo station is 4.8 km away. Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 29 km away, just under an hour by car, and the Cinque Terre National Park can be reached in about 30 minutes by car, ideal for a day trip.

In summer, the hotel’s private beach is the starting point for snorkelling, diving and canoe trips along the coast, while the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, also reachable by boat, remains one of the most memorable destinations for a half-day trip. In Santa Margherita Ligure, Castello Brown is worth a visit, about 1.2 km away, along with Valle dei Mulini, a nature trail a short distance from the town centre. In the cooler months, the trails of Portofino Park offer walks through Mediterranean scrub with sea views, while families can enjoy the Parco del Flauto Magico, about 2.8 km away, making the area appealing even outside the beach season.
