"In Garlenda, roughly halfway between Monaco and Portofino, a couple of miles inland from the beaches of the Italian Riviera, is something a little bit unusual: a house that’s reminiscent of an English country house or a Provençal villa, whose interiors have been updated to the latest 21st-century luxury-hotel standard. This is La Meridiana Hotel & Golf Resort, a modestly sized but nevertheless luxe 26-room escape surrounded by gardens and seemingly endless views of the Ligurian countryside — and set, not incidentally, right next door to one of the region’s finest courses at the Golf Club Garlenda." - Tablet Hotels
