Il Corso

Il Corso is a guest house in Santa Margherita Ligure, in Liguria, located on Corso Matteotti just 900 metres from the town beach. The property features a terrace and offers rooms and an apartment designed for short or extended stays in the centre of this Golfo del Tigullio town.

Each room has air conditioning, a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen, towels and a balcony with city views; some room types also offer a kitchen with a stovetop and microwave, while a refrigerator is provided in all of them. The offer includes the Deluxe Room, more compact and with a single double bed, and the Deluxe Apartment, larger and arranged with a separate living area, ideal for families or small groups.

The central location makes it possible to reach the restaurants, bars and shops along the corso on foot, while Castello Brown and the Abbey of San Fruttuoso are just a few kilometres away. WiFi is free throughout the property, while private parking is available for a fee. A solution particularly appreciated by couples, who especially praise its location.

Plan your stay at Il Corso

Guest house with terrace in the heart of Santa Margherita Ligure, a few steps from the sea, with air-conditioned rooms and a balcony with city views.

Room types

Il Corso offers two types of accommodation designed for different needs: the Deluxe Room, a compact solution for two people, and the Deluxe Apartment, larger and suited to families or small groups thanks to a separate living area. Both solutions share air conditioning, soundproofed walls, a private bathroom and a balcony with city views, elements that guarantee a good level of comfort regardless of the type chosen.

The Deluxe Room, at 25 sqm, is furnished with a large double bed and a bathroom with a shower, designed for those looking for a practical pied-à-terre in the centre of Santa Margherita Ligure. The Deluxe Apartment, at 50 sqm, instead offers a separate bedroom with a double bed, a living room with a sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator and microwave, tiled floors and a washing machine: a more self-sufficient solution for longer stays or for those travelling with others.
