Liberty halls, historic rooms, events year-round.
Onion domes facing the sea.
Medieval historic centre of Sanremo.
Marina with 900+ boat berths.

Plan
Three ready-made itineraries to land in Sanremo and know what to do right away: a long weekend, a full week, two slow weeks. They are guidelines — adjust them to your own pace. From Casa dei Colombi you are already in the right spot to start: walking distance from the centre, on the cycle path, steps from the station.
The long weekend
Five days to grasp the essence of the city: the Liberty centre, the medieval Pigna, the sea and the gardens. Full but relaxed days.
Arrival at Casa dei Colombi, check-in, first stroll along the seafront. Aperitivo on Corso Matteotti, traditional dinner with sardenaira and local red prawns.
Morning in the medieval Pigna, the ancient heart of Sanremo. Afternoon at the Liberty Casino (guided tour or gaming rooms), aperitivo at the Royal Hotel.
By bike on the Riviera of Flowers cycle path: from Sanremo to Ospedaletti (8 km), lunch by the shore, return with a swim. Sunset on the beach.
Visit to Villa Nobel (Alfred Nobel's residence) and the gardens of Villa Ormond. Afternoon walk among the Liberty villas, fish dinner at Portosole.
Saturday morning at the Mercato Annonario (cheese, oil, focaccia). Last walk in the Pigna, sunset toast, departure in the afternoon.
A week on the Riviera
A week to live Sanremo like a local: to the five days of the long weekend add two day-trips into the Ligurian hinterland and the villages of the Riviera of Flowers.
Check-in, first sea swim, aperitivo by the port. Light dinner near home to settle in.
Corso Matteotti, Ariston Theatre (the home of the Festival), climb up the Pigna to the Sanctuary of Madonna della Costa. Sunset from the terrace.

Morning in the artists' village of Bussana Vecchia (a hamlet abandoned after the 1887 earthquake and reborn in the 1960s). Slow lunch, departure in the afternoon.
Slow stay on the Riviera
Two weeks to live Sanremo as locals do: city, sea, Ligurian hinterland, and a few crossings beyond the border. The kind of stay that lets you alternate dense days with pure pause.

Train to Nice (one and a half hours). Vieux Nice, Cours Saleya, Promenade des Anglais, lemon gelato.
A day of pure rest: long breakfast at home, sea, book, sunset. The holiday that actually rests you.
