The casino dates from the period of prosperity in Sanremo (it was built in 1906) and is still a popular destination in the town today. Also in the western part of the town is the casino, the most well known building in San Remo and built in the Art Nouveau style. The Tourist Office is in one of the most impressive of these houses, the Palazzo di Riviera.īetween the harbour and the tourist office you can also see the 17th century Santa Tecla Fort which dominates the centre of Sanremo. San Remo has a very mild - warm climate because the mountains protect the town from weather arriving from the north, which helps enhance its popularity.Īssuming you are not rushing straight to the small beach in the town centre - or you are taking a moment away from the beach to explore Sanremo town - start your visit with a stroll around Porto Vecchio, the old harbour (there is now also a larger more modern harbour in San Remo).This old harbour is quite small, and you can find a few restaurants along one edge of the harbour.Īfter exploring the harbour area wander along the seafront and the main boulevards in the town centre such as Corso degli Inglesi to see many of the grand villas and their surrounding gardens, many of them still beautifully maintained. Italy This Way review: although the town is no longer the important resort for the rich and beautiful that it once was it is still quite an attractive town to visit, with the faded elegance of the belle epoque villas and a small but attractive historic centre providing much of the charm.
Explore Sanremo: tourism and travel guide It is correctly called Sanremo although often referred to as San Remo. The town is in the Liguria region of Italy and one of the most western beach resorts in the country, not far from the border with France. The coastal resort of Sanremo was an important social centre around the end of the 19th century, and a popular resort until the middle of the 20th century, and many of the the grand houses and hotels that you can see in the town date from that period.
