About Hotel Jolanda

Hotel Jolanda's right in the centre of Santa Margherita. The seafront is just a short walk away, as is the station where you can take trains to explore the area. Visit other coastal towns like Rapallo in the Portofino area or even spend the day in the region's capital, Genoa.

We love the fresh look of this hotel. With its contemporary neutral colour palette freckled with pops of red, orange, turquoise and pink. It's been decorated immaculately and is a very welcome place to wake up in or to come back to at the end of the day.

  • Bike hire (subject to availability)

Discover Portofino area

  • Walk along sea-side promenades in pastel painted towns 

  • Take a boat trip to nearby fishing villages and swimming coves 

  • Walk through the Portofino Natural Park 

The Ligurian towns near Portofino are an exciting mix of glamour and wealth, and down-to-earth, rustic charm; from the ‘dolce vita’ of Portofino itself, to Rapallo, popular with holidaying Italian families. Walking in the Portofino National Park reminds you that there's still a lot of rural land around these picture-perfect towns, just a stone's throw from the coast. Exploring on foot is a great way to get to know the real Liguria, where farmers still work on the land and old farm houses stand strong in the middle of the countryside. 

It’s also a good base for discovering the Ligurian coastline by boat, while a guided sea kayaking experience is a unique way to explore the protected waters and coastal scenery of the Portofino Marine Park. Slower pace preferred? No problem. Add something different to your day with a paddleboard along the coast.
