Santa Margherita – Americans love Santa Margherita. And Portofino, and Cinque Terre, of course, but also Santa Margherita, so much so that it is this town that becomes the subject of a report in Traveler magazine and the online edition “Travel and Leisure”. “This is a very important discovery – he comments Andrea Faustinoni, whose Grand Hotel Miramare is depicted in the article as an ideal place to stay—because it, along with Condé Nast Traveller, is one of the two main magazines devoted to tourism and is aimed at the middle-upper class of Americans who, after all, can plan trips to Europe. In all, three hotels are mentioned, “different structures from each other”, he explains. fustinoniie, in addition to Miramare, Blu di Te and Sant’Andrea: «In fact, there is a return of the Americans and it is important, because it is a tourism that costs – Comments joseph pastin, owner of the latter, as well as president of the Santa Margherita Hoteliers’ Association – the last two years have seen a significant recovery of the whole of Liguria, but especially of Santa Margherita and Portofino. I believe it is always the timeless charm of these two places that makes the difference, as well as, perhaps, some special events, such as the wedding of kourtney kardashian Last year. Now, we have to be good at maintaining this level. Medium-high level tourism requires quality services, providing full leisure days. For example, we have a very high demand for boats and days at sea. But Santa Margherita offers much more: “the ancient fishing village today wins hearts with its architecture, beaches, shops and restaurants”, quoting the American article, which does not fail to highlight, however, the proximity to the city of Genoa and also the possibility of using it as a base to visit the whole region and the Cinque Terre. “Visitors – writes the magazine – will find various bathing establishments such as the Bagni Vicini”. “After all, we are ancient: the first license dates back to 1917,” he underlines Augustine Antola, the owner of the establishment in Ghiya, and in turn the representative of the San Margeri seaside resorts. For them too, the return of foreigners, not only from abroad, is important: “The French who had been missing for some time have reappeared and the Germans have reappeared and now they find us competitive for our prices”. To eat? Stars and Stripes tourists suggest Trattoria da Pezzi and Angolo 48 in the historic center for Ligurian food, and as “the most popular options”, still in the area, are Antonio’s, Ducoc’s Restaurant and Il Delfino pizzeria. However, both the title and the passage on Santa Margherita agree fustinoni He pastries, there is not an element of competition with Portofino: «One is very important to the other and vice versa. Not competition, but inclusiveness.” Rather, Travel Enthusiasts also suggests that our hoteliers love seasonal adjustments: “Consider traveling in late spring or early winter, when the weather is still pleasant but peak season tourists are gone”.
