This hotel lies in a tiny town called Chiavari. The town itself is cute, but not that special compared to other beautiful places in Liguria. BUT it is a train ride away from Cinque Terre (a truly amazing place!) and Santa Marguerita and Portofino (also beautiful). The hotel is very close to the beach, which is nice, but again, the beach in Chiavari is nothing like the beaches in other cities! I liked staying at Hotel Ferrari because it was cheaper than staying in hotels in the bigger cities, but still very easy to get to places (its only 5 min walking to the train station as well). The staff are very nice and polite, speak good english, the breakfast is pretty good, and the hotel rooms are clean, modern and fresh. I was very happy with my stay here, definitely recommend it!
