In 1897 Gaudenzio Ciana, the first hotelier of the family, left his native Orta San Giulio in the province of Novara where he had built and owned the Belvedere Hotel, to settle in Santa Margherita. A century later, his great grandchildren continue the family's prestigious tradition created by him.

Santa Margherita Ligure
Evidence of the town’s Roman origins exists, provided by some archaeological finds made in the area, but documented events concerning Santa Margherita date from the medieval period. After becoming a fief of the Fieschi family in the 13th century it came under Genoese control and remained so until the end of the eighteenth century. On 18 July 1798, the village was still divided into two independent small villages separated by the hill: Corte, located in front of the harbour area and Pescino, on the side of the parish church facing the sea along Ghiaia beach.

Santa Margherita, easily reached by motorway (only 4 km away) offers: a first class tourist port, a yacht club, a sailing and diving school, boating excursions, night clubs and discotheques, an 18 hole golf course within 4 km, riding and minigolf. Genoa, just 30 km away, is home to the Cristoforo Colombo International Airport and many notable attractions, such as: the old port; the Palaces of the Dogi, the largest historical centre in Europe, which remain from the ancient Maritime Republic; and the Aquarium, the largest in Europe and the second largest in the world.

PARKING: We could keep at their  disposal one of our reserved individual garages, closed by a shutter, in the autoparking  "Riviera " (at about 200 mts) at the daily charge of 15,00 Euro. To access the garage you need a key and a pass available at the reception by leaving a deposit of Euro 25,00. This deposit will be refund, upon departure, by returning the pass and the key to the receptionist. The cancellation policy applied to the room reservation is applied to the parking reservation too. The autoparking "Riviera" is also a public parking at the price of Euro 2,00 per hour. Along the main road on the sea side, there are public spaces at Euro 2,50 each hour from 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. and free the rest of the night.

Client Comments:

"The Hotel Laurin was very nice, and again we had spectacular views from our rooms. Beautiful sunsets reflecting off the water and the boats in the harbor just across the street from the hotel."

"We are back from our Italy trip and I just wanted to thank you for assisting with our rooms at the BW Laurin in Santa Margherita Ligure. For views and location it was the absolute best. The room was adequate and everyone at the front desk couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant. And the breakfast was just perfect.They could use better pillows (flat and hard..even 2 didn’t help) and they could have given more than one tiny bar of soap. Trust me I am not complaining. It was the best for our situation and I would recommend it….unless someone wants to spend a lot more, not have the large balcony, and stay further from the center of everything…….then the Miramare is the one. But, I don’t know if I would give up the balcony…if there was a bed out there I would have been in it!" 10/08
