Hotel Sant’Andrea is a 3-star hotel housed in a Liberty-style villa surrounded by a garden, on a private street just steps from the sea and the centre of Santa Margherita Ligure.
The property is designed for those looking for a convenient base to explore the Gulf of Tigullio without giving up a quiet corner: the garden separates the building from the bustle of the seafront promenade, while the interior retains the atmosphere of old Ligurian residences. The rooms, all air-conditioned, feature a safe, telephone, TV and private bathroom with shower and hairdryer; some higher categories add a minibar and garden view, up to the Junior Suite with a separate living area.
Among the services, the spa with massages and a whirlpool tub stands out, along with 24-hour reception, room service and the option to have breakfast delivered directly to the room. Pets are welcome free of charge upon request. The location, one kilometre from the Santa Margherita Ligure railway station and less than 15 minutes from Portofino and Rapallo, is particularly appreciated by couples, who gave it a score of 9.4 for romantic stays.
The rooms at Hotel Sant’Andrea range from 12 to 22 square metres and share essential amenities for a comfortable stay: air conditioning, safe, telephone, TV and private bathroom with shower and hairdryer. The range starts with the compact Classic Double Room, designed for those looking for the essentials at a more affordable price, and goes up to the spacious Junior Suite with a separate living room and sofa bed, ideal for families with a child or for those who want more space.
The intermediate categories, Superior, Deluxe and Executive, progressively increase in size, introducing a minibar, garden view and, in the Executive, also a bidet in the bathroom. All rooms overlook the greenery surrounding the villa, a detail that sets the hotel apart from many other properties in the centre. The choice between categories mainly depends on desired space and budget, while comfort standards remain consistent throughout the property.

Hotel Sant’Andrea occupies a Liberty-style villa on Via Belvedere, a quiet private street that is nonetheless just steps from the heart of Santa Margherita Ligure and the sea. The garden surrounding the building creates a margin of quiet compared to the town’s seafront promenade, without taking the hotel too far from points of interest: the nearest beach is about 400 metres away, while restaurants such as Ristorante Karalis and Pasticceria Viennese are just 50 metres from the property.
For those arriving by train, Santa Margherita Ligure-Portofino station is about 650 metres away, while Rapallo station is reachable in about 2.6 km. Genoa-Sestri Airport is 28 km away, a drive of just over half an hour. Portofino and Rapallo are both reachable in less than 15 minutes by car, making the hotel a practical base for visiting several towns in the Gulf of Tigullio in the same day.
In the warmer months, the area is ideal for walks to the Parco del Flauto Magico, 250 metres away, and for longer excursions to the Abbey of San Girolamo della Cervara, 2.3 km away, or the famous Castello Brown in Portofino, 3.7 km away. Hiking enthusiasts can venture as far as the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, also reachable by sea, while in winter the proximity to the historic centre allows guests to enjoy the alleys and venues of Santa Margherita Ligure at a relaxed pace, away from the summer crowds.
