Once upon a time there was a young woman named Maria, who came from a small village in Piedmont.

She was a petite woman, born into a peasant family. She was not rich, but she had a great desire to work and try her luck.

With her young husband Giovanni, she decided to move to the Ligurian Riviera and try her luck. . .

With great sacrifices, they managed to build the Hotel San Michele in the 1950s.

Over the years, the building, with its Brutalist architecture, hosted several important guests such as Fausto Coppi, the Dama Bianca, Gino Bramieri, Carlo Dapporto and other famous people of the time, making it a meeting point for tourists on the Riviera. . .

The management of the hotel has been handed down from generation to generation, right up to the present day.

Keeping up with the times, innovative and increasingly welcoming.

The garden has been enlarged and reorganised, with the construction of a large swimming pool that welcomes guests in the warm season. . .

The Hotel San Michele has thus become the meeting point between tradition and innovation: by paying close attention to services, hospitality and the quality of the guest experience we certainly don’t know what the future holds.

What we are certain of is that our great house, founded by a little lady, will continue to host the many lovers of beauty who decide to visit the colourful Celle Ligure.
