A 5-star adults-only hotel that combines the highest international standards with authentic Italian hospitality. Two historic villas set within a 15,000 sqm park, 15 exclusive suites and rooms, an Infinity Pool overlooking Portofino, and the Open Air Spa immersed in the lush grounds. Within Villa 900, you will also find Aria | Ristorante, where the contemporary cuisine of Chef Matteo Armanino strives for excellence. A dimension suspended between nature and the sea, where time finds its own rhythm.
Villa Riviera Resort is a 5-star “albergo diffuso” where history and modernity engage in perfect balance. The rooms are distributed between two ancient villas, nestled in a centuries-old park between Portofino and the Cinque Terre.
One of the first buildings in Santa Giulia, a guardian of the village’s memory. Nine rooms where original Genoese floors tell stories of times past, while every detail of the restoration celebrates the authenticity of tradition reinterpreted with contemporary taste. An integral part of Villa Riviera Resort, it shares all the services of the main villa.
Located inside Villa 900, with views over Portofino, is Aria | Ristorante, awarded by the Michelin Guide and two Forks by Gambero Rosso.
Fresh catch from the sea is the absolute protagonist of Chef Matteo Armanino’s cuisine, a passion for prime ingredients expressed through three tasting journeys: Aria, Mare, and Ritmo Vegetale. The panoramic terrace accompanies each course with the light of sunset.
An intimate and sophisticated atmosphere: soft lighting, delicate musical notes, discreet service.
A place on high where you can create and enjoy unique moments of relaxation, romance, culture, emotion, and taste. Face to face with a dream that becomes reality.
In Lavagna, in the heart of one of Italy’s most coveted coastlines, Villa Riviera Resort is the perfect stay between Portofino and the Cinque Terre. 25 minutes from Portofino, 50 from the Cinque Terre, with Sestri Levante, Rapallo, Santa Margherita, and Chiavari all within easy reach.
A rare location: close enough to smell the scent of the open sea, private enough to forget the rest of the world. The privacy of a 15,000 sqm park, the beauty of a coastline that never ceases to surprise.
