The rooms, all air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom, satellite TV and safe, are spread between the main building and a small annexe a few metres away. The offer includes single, double, triple and quadruple solutions, some with city views and, when available, with views of the sea and the beach.

Room types

The rooms at Hotel Svizzera share a simple and functional setup: private bathroom with shower or bathtub, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, safe and soundproofed walls. Most accommodations offer a city view, while some overlook the Ligurian Sea, though this cannot be guaranteed. Room sizes range from 13 to 19 square metres, with options designed for solo travellers, couples and small family groups.

In addition to the rooms in the main building, two economy types are located in an annexe about 15 metres from the main building, with a ceiling fan instead of fixed air conditioning. The Standard Quadruple Room, the largest in the range at 19 sqm, is designed for larger families, while the Single Room is the most compact choice for those travelling alone, equipped with a bidet and hairdryer.

Location & what to see

Hotel Svizzera is located on the seafront of Arma di Taggia, a seaside hamlet in the municipality of Taggia, along the western coast of the Ligurian Riviera, just 20 metres from Bussana beach and a few dozen metres from other equipped beaches such as Vittoria Beach, reachable in about 250 metres. The area is served by a coastal cycle path very popular with those who want to get around on foot or by bike along the coastline.

The centre of Sanremo is about 8 km away, reachable in a few minutes by car or via the Taggia-Arma railway station, 1.5 km from the hotel, while Sanremo’s station is about 5 km away. By car, the A10 motorway is about 10 minutes away, Imperia about 20 minutes, and Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport about an hour’s journey, making the property convenient also for those arriving from the French Riviera.

There is no shortage of dining options nearby: the Clipper restaurant is just 30 metres away, while Pizz’All and La Pera Rossa are about 50 metres away. For those who want to venture a little further, in Sanremo you can visit Villa Nobel and the gardens of Villa Ormond, about 5 km away. In summer, the proximity to the sea allows for swimming, snorkelling and windsurfing, while in the low season the area is well suited to walks along the cycle path and excursions into the Ligurian hinterland, among olive groves and hilltop villages.

Bussana Beach — Sandy beach right in front of the property, ideal for daily swims 20 m
Vittoria Beach — Another equipped beach a short walk from the hotel 250 m
Clipper - Restaurant & Cocktail Bar — Seafront venue for dinners and aperitifs just steps from the hotel 30 m
