Price range: €€€€
Rating: 8.9

Hotel Monte Rosa is a 4-star hotel in the historic center of Chiavari, in Liguria, run by the Bacigalupo family since the early 20th century. The property features a seasonal outdoor pool and offers free bicycle rental at reception, two details that set it apart from more anonymous city hotels.

The rooms, furnished in a classic style, are air-conditioned and equipped with a minibar; some higher room types add a balcony or an armchair, while the Junior Suite offers a separate living area with a sofa bed. WiFi is free throughout the property, and the on-site restaurant, well regarded across the region, operates from March to October and during the Christmas holidays, with a buffet breakfast served every morning.

The location, rated 9.3 by guests, is one of its strong points: the pedestrian historic center, with its old porticoes, leads within minutes to the train station and the beach. It’s a suitable choice for anyone visiting the Tigullio area without giving up a long-standing tradition of service, with an on-site garage for those arriving by car.
