Embrace castle life at Grand Hotel dei Castelli

Grand Hotel dei Castelli, Sestri Levante

Who? Grand Hotel dei Castelli

What? We love the idea of being able to stay in a castle but we love the idea of being able to stay in one with all the mod cons even more.

When? Open year round

Where? Via Penisola di Levante, 26 – 16039 Sestri Levante, Italy
