The Mare hotel is an older property that is on the Italian coast. While it was serviceable as a place to rest before the our last segment of our drive (we were returning a car in Nice the next morning), it really doesn't qualify as a destination in and of itself. Part of it is that, to a Californian used to sandy beautiful beaches, the beach at the hotel was a bit rocky. Also, there was nowhere near to walk about, it is on a straight one way road with cars zooming by with no restaurants or other enticements to speak of.
At least the relatively lower price took this into consideration so it, for us, was an okay value. Being able to leave the balcony door open at night and listen to the ocean at least was soothing. The weather though was perfect for this, you may not be so lucky, you should check if there is air conditioning (I forget).
