Hotel Villa San Giuseppe is a 3-star property overlooking the seafront of San Bartolomeo al Mare, in Liguria, about 100 metres from Il Faro Beach. The villa and its dependances house rooms of different types, from economy singles to quadruples, designed for both solo travellers and families.
The rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a desk, safe, flat-screen TV and private bathroom with bidet, with some accommodations overlooking the garden or the inner courtyard. Breakfast offers continental, buffet and gluten-free options, while the in-house restaurant serves traditional Italian and European dishes, with menus available on request for dairy-free or gluten-free needs.
Common facilities include a lounge, a bar, a children’s play area and a table tennis court, in addition to private parking available for a fee and free WiFi in the common areas. The area, known among cycling enthusiasts for its coastal routes, is served by restaurants and venues within walking distance, making the property a practical base for those who want to experience the sea of the Riviera dei Fiori.
Hotel Villa San Giuseppe spreads its six room types between the main villa and the dependances, with sizes ranging from the 12 sqm of the Economy Single to the 27 sqm of the Quadruple, designed for families with bunk beds or sofa beds that can be combined with the double bed. All accommodations share air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, flat-screen TV, wardrobe and safe, with free WiFi for the first hour of use.
The main differences concern capacity and view: the Triple and the Double rooms offer a bathroom with bidet and toiletries, while some rooms overlook the inner garden and others the courtyard of the property. The Single and Economy Single remain the most compact option for solo travellers, while the Standard and Economy Double rooms differ in bed layout, convertible from a double bed to two single beds on request.
The most compact of the property’s rooms, with 12 sqm spread across one of the dependances. It features a TV, safe and private bathroom with shower and hairdryer; some accommodations offer a garden view, a feature that sets it apart from the larger standard Single.
The largest room type at the hotel, with 27 sqm designed for families or small groups. The bed layout is flexible: bunk beds or sofa beds combined with the double bed, depending on the configuration requested. A private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, air conditioning and a garden view complete the accommodation.
Slightly more spacious than the Economy Single, with 14 sqm located between the main villa and the dependances. Air conditioning, TV and a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer are the main features, with some rooms overlooking the inner garden.
Overlooking the inner courtyard, this 21 sqm room combines a single bed and a large double bed, suitable for three travellers. Its private bathroom is the only one among the standard rooms to have a bidet and toiletries in addition to the shower, along with tiled flooring and a safe.
At 16 sqm, this is the largest Double room in the property and offers a garden view, a feature that sets it apart from the Economy version. The double bed can be replaced with two single beds on request, and the private bathroom includes a bidet and toiletries.
A more essential version of the Standard Double, with 15 sqm and a view of the inner courtyard rather than the garden. It maintains the same flexibility in bed layout and a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries.
Hotel Villa San Giuseppe offers a garden, a solarium terrace and a picnic area designed for those who want to enjoy the property’s outdoor spaces, in addition to beachfront access and the possibility of renting bicycles or joining walking and cycling tours.

On the dining front, the property has a restaurant, bar, snack bar and in-house café, with menus for special diets available on request.

The hotel is located directly on the seafront of San Bartolomeo al Mare, in a residential area of the Riviera Ligure di Ponente overlooking the sea and well connected to the coastal promenade. Il Faro Beach is about 100 metres away, while the adjacent free beach is 150 metres away: both can be reached on foot in a few minutes, as can the restaurants and bars that liven up the area, such as Al Settantott8 and Bar Gauguin, about a hundred metres from the property.
For those arriving by train, Diano Marina station is 1.9 km away, while Imperia station is about 5 km away; the nearest airport is Riviera Airport, 14 km away. Bagni Silvano beach, with equipped bathing facilities, is 800 metres away, while the nearby Varazzese Bike Cafe, 700 metres away, is a landmark for cycling enthusiasts, a sport for which the area is particularly known thanks to the former railway converted into a cycle path connecting several coastal villages.
In summer, the area thrives on the sea and seafront strolls, with opportunities for canoeing, windsurfing and cycling excursions along the coastal path; in the low season it instead becomes a peaceful base for visiting the historic centres inland, such as the Church of San Giacomo 2.4 km away or the Collegiate Church of San Giovanni Battista in Imperia, about 5 km away, among alleyways, historic churches and local markets.
Guests especially praise the location, rated 9.5, and staff helpfulness, with 9.1. Comfort and cleanliness are also highly appreciated. The lowest score concerns WiFi, consistent with the free connection being limited to the first hour in the rooms.
