Grand Hotel and Des Anglais, San Remo

This luxurious four-star hotel in San Remo is located in an oasis of peace and tranquility in the elegant coastal resort. Enclosed within its own generous parkland and with excellent facilities, this is a wonderful place for a really relaxing holiday on Italy's Ligurian coast. San Remo is situated on the famous Riviera dei Fiori - part of the beautiful and varied Ligurian coastline which runs from the French border in the west to the borders of Emilia Romagna and Tuscany to the south and east. Fashionable Belle Epoque seaside resorts in the style of Cannes and Monaco punctuate this ribbon of land. Arching around the northern Mediterranean (where the Italian peninsula connects with mainland Europe) Liguria is a land of lush forests, lemon trees, fragrant herbs, almonds and pines in the hilly hinterland. Here, the climate is known for its mildness and warmth.

The Grand Hotel & Des Anglais, San Remo has 98 superior rooms, all with direct-dial telephone, internet connection point and minibar. Well appointed en-suite shower rooms are accessorised with quality toiletries and a built-in hairdryer, while cots are offered to families travelling with infants. There is a special reduced rate for under-12s staying in their parents' room and there is no charge for under-twos.

This Italian hotel has a lively restaurant with an interesting menu featuring local and international specialities. There is also an attractive bar area where guests can relax over an aperitif or coffee. San Remo itself has plenty to offer in the way of entertainment to suit all tastes: there's a casino, an opera theatre, an 18-hole golf course, horse racing and riding. Guests can take part in numerous watersports along the coast and, in the winter, the ski resort of Limone offers terrific alpine skiing around an hour's drive away.

Staff are friendly and helpful and services such as a safe-deposit box and left-luggage facility are available at the reception desk, which is manned 24 hours per day. This hotel in Italy has its own car park, which is free to guests, and all major credit cards are welcome.
