A high-style Italian Riviera stay in Chiavari's Futurist tower, with an outdoor pool and spa - includes breakfast
  • History and high-end interiors: A pioneering 1930s aeroplane-shaped beacon at the top of Chiavari's promenade, Grand Hotel Torre Fara is today a high-end hotel surrounded by a 5000-square-metre botanical park and backed by tree-coated hills on the gorgeous Italian Riviera.

  • Riviera well-being: Slip into the outdoor pool for a refreshing dip in warmer months and indulge in pampering massages with sea views at the spa (fees apply). Even better, you can devour Italian goodness with panoramic vistas from the chic restaurant punctuated with handsome columns and modern pendant lights.

  • Unparalleled style: Luxuriate in the stylish Italian rooms, featuring original high ceilings and large windows and finished with chic, muted hues, from understated gold fixtures to deep navy and charcoal grey furnishings. Some rooms even boast a terrace with a sea view.

How to get there

The hotel is around an hour's drive from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport or two hours and 50 minutes from Milan Malpensa Airport. From Genoa Airport, you can also take the train, with the journey taking around an hour and a half.

Via Preli 15, 16043 Chiavari, Italy

In a delightful spot on the Italian Riviera, where the Entella River tumbles into the Gulf of Tigullio, Chiavari has a charming medieval heart. Typically narrow streets are lined with arcades holding galleries, shops, restaurants and bars painted in the romantic Riviera palette of pastels. Dip in and out of the many ancient churches and cathedrals with sigh-inducing interiors, wander past dramatic palazzi, toast yourself a gorgeous brown on the beach and clamber up to the top of the town for dreamy views over the Gulf of Tigullio and the Ligurian Sea behind.

Chiavari's train station lies a 15-minute walk from the hotel and can transport you along this sigh-inducing coast to pretty Sestri Levante in a quarter of an hour and then onto each of the five heavenly Cinque Terre villages - all rightly listed by UNESCO. In the other direction, Genoa beckons, with its romantic vibes and idyllic situation overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The capital of the coastal region of Liguria, this historic port city was named European Capital of Culture in 2004, and to this day it continues to give rivals Rome, Florence and Venice a good run for their money.
