Philosophy
Much more than a simple holiday in Liguria
“Of a city you do not enjoy the seven or seventy-seven wonders, but rather the answer it gives toa question of yours.”
This is our aim at the Hotel Vita Serena: to offer an unforgettable experience, to answer our visitors’ questions, embracing them in a world of beauty, art, culture and hospitality.
We are a small, one-star hotel that aims to give great value and unique hospitality in its genre.
Travelling, exploring, learning
Travelling and discovering new places is not only a way to relax and take a break from your daily routine, but it is also an occasion to open your mind and heart to the beauties around us, to learn something new every day and return home with our eyes full of wonder.
We do our best to make sure this is exactly your experience here.
Why Italo Calvino?
Italo Calvino lived for a time in Sanremo and wrote about the atmosphere, places and characteristics in a perfectly unusual way making him a cornerstone of Ligurian culture.
And we love him so much that we want to celebrate his talent, bringing a small piece of his imagery into our rooms, together with that of other Ligurian poets.
If you are looking for somewhere that can give you an unforgettable emotion for your holiday on the Ligurian Riviera, contact us now and start dreaming!
