Hotel San Pietro Palace in Finale Ligure is perfectly situated right by the sea, only a few steps away from the main plaza. The building dates back to the 17th Century and has recently been transformed into, what we believe, the ultimate bike hotel. With each of our rooms overlooking the ocean and a secure dedicated bike room, it is not unusual to be excited to return back to the hotel after a long day of riding.

Hotel Medusa is a family run bike hotel on the seaside promenade in Finale Ligure. With its great hospitality and great location, staying at Hotel Medusa will be a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The hotel offers various room options from single rooms to family apartments catered to your specific needs.
