Hotel Punta San Martino is a 4-star hotel in Arenzano, Liguria, built atop a promontory overlooking the Ligurian Sea, about a 30-minute drive from Genoa. The property features two swimming pools, including the Belvedere pool designed for sunbathing with a view of the gulf, and a restaurant with a poolside terrace serving Ligurian specialities.
The rooms, all with sea views, are air-conditioned and equipped with flat-screen TVs, a minibar and a safe; some room types add a furnished balcony to enjoy the panorama independently. The furnishings recall contemporary Italian design, with solutions that vary from room to room between carpeted floors, coloured tiles and, in some cases, four-poster beds.
A staircase along the cliff connects the hotel in about 5 minutes to a partner beach, where beach equipment rental is available. The location, praised especially by couples, is 2 km from the A10 motorway and about an hour and twenty minutes from the French border, making the property suitable both for a relaxing seaside stay and for those wanting to explore the Ligurian riviera.
The seven room types at Hotel Punta San Martino share some basic elements: a guaranteed sea view in every accommodation, air conditioning, a private bathroom, a 32-inch HD TV, a minibar and a safe, with sizes ranging between 12 and 15 square metres. The main difference between the rooms concerns the presence or absence of a furnished balcony, available in some types such as the Double Room with Twin Beds with Sea View and Balcony or the Double Room with Balcony and Sea View, while other versions remain without this outdoor space.
The furnishings vary from room to room: some feature carpeted floors and neutral colours, others coloured walls, tiled floors and, in some accommodations, a four-poster bed that adds a more scenic touch. The bed configuration is almost always based on large double beds, with a maximum capacity of one or two people depending on the type chosen.

Hotel Punta San Martino sits atop the promontory of the same name in Arenzano, in a panoramic residential area separated from the town centre by the cliff that descends towards the sea. The setting is that of the western Ligurian riviera, with Mediterranean scrub framing the hotel’s terraces and the nearby Villa Negrotto Cambiaso, an urban park about 650 metres away.
The centre of Arenzano, with its railway station 800 metres away, can be reached on foot, as can some very nearby restaurants: Ristorante l’Oa is just 50 metres away and Pizzeria del Porto about 200 metres. The nearest partner beach, Bagni Lido, is 550 metres away, while Marina Grande Beach is 850 metres away. Genoa can be reached in about 30 minutes by car, Genoa-Sestri Airport is 11 km away and the A10 motorway is just 2 km from the property.
Guests staying here in summer can alternate between the hotel’s two pools, open from June to September, and days at the beach reached in 5 minutes via the cliff staircase, or venture towards more secluded coves such as Cala Torcida and Cala Loca, about 5 km away. Nature lovers can head up to the Beigua Regional Nature Park, 1.7 km away, for hikes along the trails of the Ligurian Apennines, while at any time of year visits to the historic villas in the area, such as Villa Lomellini Doria Podestà, about 7 km away, remain worthwhile.
