Residence Sole is an aparthotel located directly on the beach in Albenga, Liguria, with apartments connected step-free to the property’s private beach.
The 32 units, all with sea views, range from studios to apartments with a separate bedroom, up to a caravan set up right by the water’s edge. Each accommodation has its own kitchen, private bathroom and air conditioning, designed for those seeking the freedom of self-catering without giving up hotel comforts. Some superior units add a sea-view terrace, whirlpool tub and soundproofed walls.
Among the shared facilities are a seasonal outdoor pool, a Turkish bath and a spa area, as well as an on-site restaurant and bar, useful on days when you don’t want to cook. The location, rated 9 out of 10 by guests, puts Albenga’s train station within walking distance, along with several dining spots just steps from the property, making Residence Sole a practical base for families and couples on holiday on the Ligurian Riviera.
The range of accommodations at Residence Sole includes compact studios, apartments with a separate bedroom, a suite with a whirlpool tub and an unusual caravan set up directly on the beach. All units share their own kitchen, private bathroom, air conditioning and sea view, a feature that characterises the whole property and allows guests to choose the size best suited to their group, from couples to large families.
The main differences concern floor area and extra features: they range from the 30 sqm of the Comfort and Superior studios to the 42 sqm of the one-bedroom apartments, up to the Suite with terrace, whirlpool tub and soundproofed walls. The Beach Caravan, more compact at 15 sqm, focuses instead on an independent entrance and immediate proximity to the water, while the Family Studio adds a lounge area designed for stays with more people.
The Comfort Studio, among the smallest units in the property at 30 sqm, overlooks a sea-view terrace and is equipped with its own kitchen and a double bed with sofa bed for extra guests. A simple, functional option for those seeking an essential base in direct contact with the beach.
Identical in size to the Comfort Studio, the Superior stands out for having air conditioning already included in the room’s official description, in addition to the sea-view terrace. A slightly more refined choice for those staying in the warmer months.
At 42 sqm and accommodating up to 6 people, this apartment offers a bedroom separate from the living room, where two sofa beds allow for additional guests. The garden or sea-view terrace, depending on the assigned unit, gives it a more family-oriented character.
The same size and layout as the Comfort version, but with a guaranteed sea-view terrace and air conditioning listed among the distinctive features, unlike the variable garden of the Comfort type.
The only mobile accommodation in the property, with just 15 sqm but an independent entrance and two large double beds. It has an equipped kitchen with fridge, hob and microwave oven, plus a dining area and sea view: the most unusual option and the closest to the shoreline.
The only room type with a whirlpool tub in the bathroom, this 42 sqm suite adds soundproofed walls and a sea-view terrace, standing out from the Comfort and Superior apartments for its finishes and the bathroom with tub and bidet.
At 40 sqm and accommodating up to 5 guests, this is the property’s most varied bed combination: single, sofa bed and double bed together. A sea-view balcony and separate lounge area make it suitable for large families or small groups.
Residence Sole focuses on a private beach connected directly to the apartments, with no barriers between the property and the sea, alongside a seasonal outdoor pool operating from May to October and a Turkish bath for relaxation after days at the beach. The spa area also includes a whirlpool tub, sauna, massages and wellness services on request.
For those who don’t want to cook every day, an on-site restaurant (closed on Tuesdays), a bar and a snack bar are available, along with the option of breakfast in the room. General services include a lift, heating, wheelchair access and rooms designed for guests with disabilities, along with CCTV surveillance in common areas.
Those travelling by electric car will find an on-site charging station, while outdoor sports enthusiasts can enjoy snorkelling, diving and hiking in the surroundings of the property.
Residence Sole occupies a rare location in Albenga: the apartment is connected step-free to Albenga Beach, just 10 metres away, while Baba Beach is about 700 metres along the coast. The neighbourhood is the residential part of the Albenga coastline, quiet outside the season and livelier during the summer months, with restaurants and beach venues just steps from the property.
For those getting around without a car, Albenga train station is 1.4 km away, convenient for reaching Alassio or Savona by train, while Alassio station is 4.5 km away. Those arriving by air can rely on Riviera Airport in Villanova d’Albenga, just 6 km away, or Genoa-Sestri Airport, further at around 64 km. By car, the Riviera delle Palme and Alassio, with its sandy beach 3.2 km away, are easily reached in a few minutes.
For meals out, Ristorante Babette is practically next door at 9 metres, while Essaouira and the pizzeria Ci Vediamo da Mario? are 200 and 250 metres away respectively. History and nature lovers can head to the Church of Sant’Anna and the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora della Guardia, both about 5 km away, or to the Lerrone-Valloni forest 7 km away for a walk in the Ligurian hinterland. In summer the area thrives on beach life and water sports such as snorkelling and diving, while in the low season the slow pace typical of Riviera villages prevails.
Guests especially praise the location, rated 9 out of 10, and the free WiFi with 9.3. Cleanliness and comfort also score well (8.5), while general services, though appreciated, remain the slightly weaker point with an 8.
