Valescure Vacations from $1,958

This is not a conventional hotel; Reception is often unattended and guests are trusted to look after themselves. Maids will not enter your room when you are out to tidy, clean and make the beds, though a member of staff did offer us clean towels when we needed them. For those on a budget, there are facilities for preparing and eating food in the rooms. Everything is clean and well appointed. The staff - mostly young women, as far as I could make out - are exceptionally charming and helpful. I was contacted by a staff member a day or two before our arrival, to give us instructions on how to find the hotel and access the hotel using a pass-code. She also provided prompt information when I asked for it. Our room overlooked a main road but we were not disturbed by traffic noise because double-glazing reduced external sound by at least 95%. The rooms are air-conditioned, of course. AMMI is nicely situated on the edge of the old city, just seconds from the lanes and passage-ways which make this part of town so attractive, with their bars, cafes and restaurants. I'd guess that it's a 15 minute stroll to the beach. Recommended!

Wonderful staff, attentive to our needs. The hotel has a shuttle to Monte Carlo

The service received in this hotel was beyond excellent. From welcome drinks to tours of the facilities, the staff are attentive and helpful. Location was great with a short walk along a historical promenade to the Casino and town. It’s about 20 minutes to the train station on foot. The rooms include everything you could need or want and even the rooms without views offer a sea view. The dining is five star, with delicious complimentary canapes with cocktails. If you’re seeking a stunning hotel with sea views, a good size pool, relaxed vibe and delicious food and drinks, Miramare is for you.

“An exceptional property in a stunning location, complemented by professional and accommodating staff. I look forward to returning to Sanremo soon and will undoubtedly choose this hotel again.”

The staff is amazing and so is the location. We bought a bottle of wine and some liquor and enjoyed drinks every night in the lounge.
