Hotel Villa Elle is a family-run 2-star property located in Loano, Liguria, just 600 metres from Pietra Ligure Beach.
The entirely non-smoking building is arranged around a garden with a children’s play area, designed to welcome families and couples looking for a simple, unpretentious stay along the Riviera delle Palme. The air-conditioned rooms, all with private bathroom, free WiFi and a flat-screen TV, differ mainly in size and view: some have a partial sea view, others offer balconies overlooking the inner garden, while the smallest option is designed for solo travellers.
The central location in Loano makes it possible to reach bars, restaurants and the train station on foot, while the Toirano Caves and the Bay of the Saracens are nearby and easily reached by car. Guests staying here particularly appreciate the availability of the staff and the cleanliness of the rooms, elements that consistently emerge from guest reviews.
The rooms at Hotel Villa Elle share a simple, functional layout: private bathroom with bathtub or shower, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and free WiFi are present in all room types, along with tiled floors and bathroom toiletries. The main differences lie in size, ranging from 14 to 20 square metres, and in the view: some rooms have a balcony directly overlooking the garden, while others offer a partial sea view that is particularly sought after during the high season.
The range includes double rooms with single beds or a large double bed to choose from, a larger room designed for families with an extra bed for a third guest, and a basic single room for solo travellers. This variety of configurations, combined with the possibility of specifying the preferred bed type when booking, makes the property suitable both for couples’ stays and for small family groups looking for flexibility.
A double room with an en-suite bathroom and tiled floors, featuring a balcony or window depending on the layout. This is the property’s base room type, with the option to choose between two single beds or a large double bed when booking.
The same size as the standard double, but with a balcony offering a partial sea view, the real distinguishing feature of this room type. Here too, guests can choose between single beds or a large double bed when booking.
The largest room in the property, at 20 square metres with a balcony, designed to accommodate up to three people thanks to the extra bed, also available in a bunk bed configuration. Suitable for small groups or families with a child.

Hotel Villa Elle is located in the heart of Loano, a town on the Riviera Ligure di Ponente known for its seafront and historic centre gathered around Palazzo Doria. The property is surrounded by nearby bars and restaurants, such as Marina Beach Loano and Ocean Bay Club, both about 250-300 metres away, while Pollin Playground, 850 metres away, is a convenient gathering spot for families with children.
Pietra Ligure Beach is just 500 metres from the hotel, as is Loano Beach, both easily reached on foot. Those arriving by train can use Pietra Ligure station, 1.4 km away, or Loano station, 1.7 km away; by car, Riviera Airport in Villanova d’Albenga is about 13 km away, while Genoa-Sestri Airport is just over 54 km away. The Toirano Caves, among the most visited in Liguria, are about 7.7 km away.
The coastline around Loano is well suited to beach days during the high season, with beach clubs and free public beaches concentrated within a few kilometres, while the cooler months offer different opportunities: walks towards the Oratory of Santa Caterina, about 6 km away, or excursions inland towards the Castle and Cavernone of Monte Cucco, both between 7 and 10 km away, allow visitors to discover the more natural side of the area, including the wooded area of Finalese-Capo Noli.
Guests particularly praise the staff’s availability and the cleanliness of the rooms, rated 9.3 and 8.7 respectively. Reviews are also good for value for money and WiFi connection, while the location, appreciated but not the most central, remains the property’s lowest score.
