Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Pietra Ligure

9 stays · 5 aparthotels and 4 serviced apartments

Pietra Ligure is a seaside town in the province of Savona, on the Riviera di Ponente in Liguria. Aparthotels and serviced apartments are a natural fit for a resort of this kind: families who spend a week or two on the beach get more out of a kitchen and a separate living area than out of a single room, and visitors who come for climbing or cycling can keep gear in one place and cook their own meals.

Where to stay in Pietra Ligure

Historic centre and the boat beach

  • first-time visitors
  • beach
  • walkable

Italian Wikipedia says the railway station is close to the historic centre and that the spiaggia delle barche, where fishermen once moored their boats, faces the old town. The Basilica of San Nicolò, begun in 1750 to a design by the Genoese architect Giovanni Battista Montaldo, stands here too. It is the easiest base for guests who want beach, station and restaurants all within walking distance.

Castle and old town

  • history
  • couples
  • walking

Wikipedia says the town takes its name from its castle, Castrum et Oppidum Petrae, built between the 7th and 8th centuries, and Italian Wikipedia describes the medieval fortress overlooking the bay, enlarged in the 16th century. Staying near the castle puts you in the older part of town, close to the historic centre.

Santuario del Soccorso

  • quiet
  • walking
  • views

The Santuario di Nostra Signora del Soccorso is run by Franciscan friars and grew from a small chapel that Italian Wikipedia dates to the 14th century, with a larger church commissioned in 1548. On the map it lies north-east of the town centre and a little inland, so it is a quieter part of Pietra Ligure for visitors who do not mind the walk or drive back to the beach.

Ranzi

  • quiet
  • hillside
  • long stays

Ranzi is the town's only frazione, historically independent until municipal consolidation in 1928, according to Italian Wikipedia. On the map it lies north-west of the town centre, so it suits guests who want a residential setting and plan how they will reach the coast.

Getting around Pietra Ligure

A Liguria tourism portal adds that direct trains connect the town to Genoa and Ventimiglia, and that the most convenient way to arrive is by car via the A10 motorway. It gives Genoa airport as about 70 km away, with domestic and international flights.

The same portal lists Loano at 3 km, Finalborgo at 5 km and the Baia dei Saraceni at Varigotti at 10 km, and the Valdemino caves at 3 km. The town itself is compact enough to walk, and the coast road and railway make the neighbouring resorts easy to reach. The municipality runs a tourism website, visitpietraligure.it, which lists accommodation, an events calendar and beach establishments.

When to visit Pietra Ligure

Italian Wikipedia describes a Mediterranean climate with mild conditions typical of the Ligurian Riviera, with palm trees cultivated locally. The Liguria tourism portal says accommodation typically books solid in July and August, the peak beach months.

Italian Wikipedia gives 6 December, the day of patron saint San Nicola di Bari, as the town's holiday, and the municipality's own site promotes Dolcissima Pietra, a sweets, wine and food event held in September. The Liguria portal highlights hiking, cycling and rock climbing, including a south-facing climbing cliff with 23 routes, so the shoulder seasons suit active visitors.

Wikipedia says the town is about 60 km south-west of Genoa and about 20 km south-west of Savona, and that it is mainly a touristic town, named after its stone castle.
