Portofino , Italy

Set in the middle of a green oasis of pine, eucalyptus and magnolia trees, this family-friendly venue is a great option for anyone wishing to explore the lovely Santa Margherita Ligure. It is located right next to the bay and within a 10-minute walk from both the bus and train stations. Best of all it is perfectly set for a visit to its main sights such as the 1550 castle and the 17th century Basilica of St. Margaret of Antiochia. At the end of their day guests can head to the in-house restaurant for a hearty meal or to the bar for a chilled drink. The marvellous heated saltwater swimming pool, which has an original shape of a coral atoll, plus the sunny terraces decorated with flowers and featuring sun loungers, give guests the opportunity to enjoy the most beautiful view over the Gulf of Tigullio.
