Location & what to see

Vela Bianca H & R is located in the heart of Diano Marina, a very short distance from the seafront and the town’s public beaches. The area is typical of a Ligurian seaside town centre, with low buildings, seafood restaurants and shops along the pedestrian streets leading down to the sea, in a stretch of coast known for its mild climate even outside the peak season.

The Al Mappamondo public beach is about 40 metres away, while Bagni Delfino beach is 200 metres away; Ristorante Del Porto is just 20 metres from the hotel, followed by Da Matteo and Trattoria Cavalleri at 30 metres. Diano railway station can be reached in about 1.9 km, Imperia station in 4.6 km, while Riviera Airport is about 15 km away. For those coming from further afield, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is about 74 km away.

Diano Marina is a good base for those who want to combine sea and culture: the Church of San Giacomo is 1.5 km away, while Imperia’s historic centre with the Collegiate Church of San Giovanni Battista is about 4.2 km away. In summer, days are spent between equipped and free beaches, walks along the harbour and seafood dinners in the town’s restaurants; in the cooler months the area is well suited to excursions into the Ligurian hinterland and to the historic towns along the coast, such as Imperia with its palazzos and oratories.

Al Mappamondo Equipped Public Beach — Public beach right in front of the property, convenient for a daily swim 40 m
Del Porto — Restaurant just steps away, ideal for a seafood dinner near the sea 20 m
Bagni Delfino Beach — Equipped beach a short walk from the hotel 200 m
Church of San Giacomo — Local historic site reachable by a short walk or by car 1.5 km
