Hotel Castello Miramare

Hotel Castello Miramare is a three-star hotel in an old castle on the seafront at Via Pegli 2 in Pegli, a western coastal district of Genoa, Liguria. Pegli was a fashionable seaside resort in the nineteenth century, and the area retains a promenade, a public beach and the large Villa Durazzo-Pallavicini park, which houses the Museo di Archeologia Ligure. The hotel has direct access to a public beach, which is rare for a Genoese hotel and makes it attractive to summer visitors who want sea swimming without leaving the city. Pegli railway station gives regional trains to the centre and along the coast, and the Navebus boat service takes under 30 minutes to reach the Porto Antico, offering a scenic alternative to the train. The castle setting gives the property an unusual architectural character compared with standard city hotels, though sources give no further detail on its history. Rooms are Double Rooms with sea view, Single Rooms and Triple Rooms, and nightly rates generally run from about EUR 80 to EUR 170. Listed amenities include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, 24-hour reception, a bar, room service, beach access, pets on request and paid parking on request. Sources do not confirm a spa, pool or fitness room. Meals can be taken at the bar or in seafront restaurants and trattorie nearby, where seafood and Ligurian specialities are the local focus. Service character combines resort-style leisure with city access: it suits couples, families and travellers who prefer a quieter coastal base over the dense old town. The telephone number is +39 010 6969690 and the website is castellomiramare.it for enquiries. Parking and pets should be arranged in advance, and sea-view rooms are best requested when booking. The beach is busiest in July and August.
