Room types

Hotel Cristallo has six room types, designed for solo travellers as well as families and small groups: from the compact 13 sqm Standard Single Room to the larger 22 sqm Superior Double Room. All rooms are air-conditioned, equipped with a private bathroom, free WiFi, a flat-screen TV and a minibar, with parquet or carpeted floors and classic wooden furnishings reminiscent of Ligurian style.

The main differences lie in size, exposure and view: several rooms offer a balcony or terrace with views over the mountains, the garden or the town, while the Comfort and Superior types stand out for their more generous space and, in some cases, a hydromassage bathtub in the bathroom. The Standard Triple Room, with a single bed and a double bed, is designed to accommodate up to three people in a 21 sqm space.

Location & what to see

Hotel Cristallo is located in a residential area of Varazze, a town on the Beigua Riviera just steps from the seafront. The area is quiet but very close to the town centre, with small restaurants and bars just a few dozen metres from the property’s entrance, a comfortable base for those who don’t want to give up proximity to the sea.

Paolo Coppa beach is just 100 metres away, while Santa Caterina beach can be reached in about a 500-metre walk. Varazze’s train station, useful for reaching Genoa or Savona, is about 400 metres away, a few minutes on foot. Those arriving by car will find the hotel’s free parking convenient, while Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 20 km away. Within a few dozen metres there are also restaurants such as Da Gianni e Franca and La Lanterna, as well as Bar Novecento for breakfast or an aperitif.

Varazze is a classic seaside destination in Liguria, with a seafront that comes alive with beach clubs and promenades in summer, while in the cooler months it is well suited to hiking along the trails of the surrounding hills or cycling routes towards Celle Ligure and Savona. About 9 km away is the historic centre of Savona, with sites such as the Brandale Tower and several historic palaces to visit on a half-day trip. The golf course within 3 km is an extra option for sports enthusiasts.
