The journey and how you get there

For a holiday to La Meridiana Hotel & Golf Resort in Liguria, the closest airport is Genoa but with a limited range of flights now, it might be better to look at Nice, Turin and Milan which all have flights with British Airways from London. From the airport, we recommend a private car transfer which we would include in our holiday price, or we recommend that you use a hire-car for the duration of your holiday, especially if you want to tour the region. We will arrange this for you if required. If touring Italy by train, you would arrive at Alassio railway station, and from here we would arrange a private transfer or a hire-car. Please note that if you pick up the car in France you can only drop it at certain locations in Italy and then with an international one-way drop-off charge payable. It is most sensible to return the car to the country where you collected it.

Children: Children are welcome at La Meridiana. Children’s activities and babysitting are available on request, as are children’s menus. Baby beds (for children aged 0-3 years) can be accommodated in Junior Suites, Deluxe Suites. Executive Suites and the Master Suite Cottage for a supplement charge.

There are numerous places of interest on and around the Ligurian Riviera. Visit the resort of Nervi with the collection of clocks, fabrics, furniture and lace in the Villa Luxoro and its Galleria d'Arte Moderna. Genoa, a busy port and bustling city, also has fine palaces such as the Palazzo Reale and the Palazzo Bianco and the fascinating Steglieno Cemetery, full of elaborate tombs. The wild beauty of the Cinqueterre should be seen from the ancient footpath, the Sentiere Azzurro, which links the coastal villages. The Abbbazia di San Fruttuoso on the Portofino Peninsula can be reached by boat or on foot. In Camogli sea shells adorn the house walls and the castle contains a display of sea creatures. Flower market in Sanremo early mornings. Giardino Hanbury near Ventimiglia. Diano Marino known for its olives and sandy beaches. Visit Andora Castello, inland from Alassio, known as the finest mediaeval building on the western Riviera.

The `Adoration of the Magi` by Joos van Cleve in the Church of San Donato in Genoa. Crucifixion by Van Dyck in the Church of San Michele di Pagana between Santa Margherita and Rapallo.

Festivals in the Ligurian Riviera
