Villa della Pergola Relais et Chateaux is a 19th-century historic villa converted into a luxury hotel in Alassio, Liguria, set within a 2-hectare botanical garden overlooking the Ligurian Sea.
The property, which once hosted noble families, offers 19 rooms spread across the main Villa and the annexes Villino, Casa del Sole, Casa Glicine and Casa Nirvana, each featuring English-style furnishings, wooden floors, satellite TV and a minibar. Most open onto a balcony or terrace with views of the Mediterranean landscape, but as a historic building not all rooms are reachable without stairs and there is no elevator.
Guests have access to a sundeck terrace, a panoramic bar and a hot tub surrounded by citrus trees and conifers, while the restaurant serves Ligurian dishes made with seasonal ingredients. The hillside location, about one kilometer from the center of Alassio and the sea, makes it a good choice for those seeking a refined stay, especially couples, given the minimum age required for check-in.
The rooms at Villa della Pergola Relais et Chateaux are spread between the main villa and the satellite residences within the park, ranging in size from 27 to 70 square meters. All feature a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen satellite TV, a minibar and a coffee machine, along with English-style furnishings and wooden floors that reflect the building’s 19th-century character.
The main differences lie in the views and outdoor spaces: some rooms, such as the Suite with Sea View and the Deluxe Suite on 2 Levels, offer a balcony or double sea-facing terrace and even a chromotherapy steam shower, while the more compact rooms overlook the inner garden or courtyard. The Superior Double Room, although without a sea view, stands out for its bathroom complete with tub or shower, bathrobes and slippers.
The largest of the available suites, with 55 sqm of space opening onto a balcony, patio and terrace with views of the Mediterranean Sea. It is among the few rooms in the villa to offer a direct sea view, along with satellite channels and an electric kettle.
The most compact room type in the property, overlooking the inner part of the villa and the courtyard rather than the sea. It offers two alternative bed configurations, a flat-screen satellite TV and a minibar in a more intimate space compared to the other rooms.
The largest room in the entire property, spread over two levels in a quiet area of the park, with an independent entrance and two sea-view terraces. The only room to feature a chromotherapy steam shower.
A mid-sized room that focuses on the bathroom, the only one among the room types described to explicitly include a tub or shower, bathrobes, slippers and a full set of toiletries, along with a wardrobe and a tea and coffee set.
Villa della Pergola Relais et Chateaux offers guests a spa and wellness center with sauna, Turkish bath, hammam and body and face treatments, as well as a gym and spaces dedicated to yoga and massages. Outdoors there are gardens with outdoor furniture, a sundeck terrace, a tennis court and the possibility of horseback riding, canoeing, fishing and bike excursions starting directly from the property.
The restaurant and indoor bar serve Ligurian cuisine, in-room breakfast on request and menus for special diets, while a 24-hour reception, concierge service, luggage storage and valet parking round out the offering. Accessibility is also a focus, with rooms and areas designed for guests with disabilities.
Villa della Pergola is located on a hill on the outskirts of Alassio, surrounded by a 2-hectare botanical garden dotted with citrus trees, conifers and Mediterranean flowers that produce a particularly scenic bloom in spring. The area is residential and quiet, away from the traffic of the seafront but still just a few minutes’ walk from the town’s historic center, known for the budello, the pedestrian street that runs through the old town among shops and gelaterias.
Alassio train station is just 300 meters away, convenient for those arriving by train along the Genoa-Ventimiglia line, while Alassio beach is about 400 meters away and Laigueglia beach just over 3 km. By car, the A10 highway exit is 10 km away, and Riviera Airport in Villanova d’Albenga is just 5 km away, useful for those arriving by private or charter flights. Within 300 meters there are also bars and restaurants such as Nove and Dama Caffè, convenient for a drink or dinner without needing a car.
The coast between Alassio and Laigueglia is well suited to seaside walks and cycling routes even out of season, while in summer the proximity to the sea makes the property a convenient base for the beach while still maintaining the quiet of the hillside. Those who enjoy excursions can head into the Ligurian hinterland, among olive groves and villages such as Albenga, about 4 km away, with its Roman old town and medieval towers.
