What truly sets Miramare apart is the warm, personal hospitality provided by Gianluca and when he is not able to be there: his wife, who run the residence together with heart and dedication. With a background in the hospitality industry, the host brings a wealth of experience to ensure every guest feels welcome, comfortable, and well looked after. Don’t be surprised if he greets you with a smile and a mix of gestures and enthusiasm—his English might be a bit “creative”, but he more than makes up for it with charm, passion, and excellent Italian and French! Whether it's offering local tips, helping with luggage, or pouring you a glass of wine on arrival, he’s always around to make sure your stay is as smooth as a Ligurian sunset.

Set on a sun-drenched hillside overlooking the shimmering Gulf of Poets, Miramare Apartments & Suites is a peaceful hideaway that captures the magic of Liguria’s coast. This beautifully restored building was once the village’s schoolhouse, and today it stands as a boutique retreat where every detail reflects its unique past. Each of the ten thoughtfully designed apartments offers direct, panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea, making the ocean a constant and breathtaking backdrop to your stay. The rooms carry the names of the former classrooms—Prima Elementare, Seconda Elementare, Media, Liceo etc.—a tribute to the building’s heritage and a charming reminder of its earlier life as a place of learning and discovery. Miramare is a family-run residence, created by a couple of international travelers who fell in love with this region and decided to make it their home. What started as a personal dream of living among olive trees and coastal sunsets has grown into a warm, welcoming sanctuary where guests can experience the same wonder they once felt. Their vision is simple: to share this little slice of heaven with others, offering comfort, beauty, and authenticity in one of Italy’s most picturesque corners. Whether you’re sipping wine on your private terrace, watching the sea change color with the light, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of the garden, Miramare offers a stay that’s deeply personal, effortlessly beautiful, and rich with history. A friendly reminder that unfortunately there are no lifts inside or outside and arrival by bus, car or taxi is highly recommended.
