Savona is a port and has an attractive harbour and old town. The ceramics museum here is one of the best. There are lots of good places to eat, and it is also not far to go along the coast to the Ligurian Riviera, with all that this has to offer. It is very easy to get around Savona on foot.

Historically important city, with extensive archaeological treasures and musea. Good shopping and ample choice of restaurants of different level in the old inner city. The 3* property, advertised as "Savona Casa Vacanze vicino Mare" located in an old apartment, furnished 1960 style, located in a grim neighbourhood smelled like it had been smoked. It had no elevator, or video surveillance and was located in a poor neighbourhood, featuring low grade/fastfood places. No nearby parking facilities. No reception but a mobile phone appointment to hand over the keys by a person speaking minimal English, no Italian (Ukrainian) demanding a Euro 100,= caution, as previous guests had caused serious damage to the interior. We refused to take this dismal property, lost our prepaid fee and booked into Porto Antico Best Western hotel instead. Shame on Booking.com to list this dump !

I wouldn't specifically choose to go to Savona, but this was necessary for 1 night as we needed to embark a cruise ship. The port area had many options for restaurants. Believe it or not, the sidewalk, souvenier vendors close to the ships, had cheaper prices than the shops further away from the ship. We walked around, found a nice restaurant and managed to find vibrant nightlife.

Savona is not the most attractive location on the Ligurian coast. It has some historical interest in the house of Columbus etc, we chose it as was convenient for visiting family in Piemonte whilst spending some time on the beach. The hotel Mare is absolutely fantastic this is the main reason we stayed in Savona.

Very good help at the reception even for our very late arrival. Great recommendations for restaurants to eat near the hotel. Got the bus to the center of town and walked around, although it was raining there is still plenty to visit and lots of little cafes. The hotel is a little dated but still comfortable.

I spent 5 days in this town with my wife. Savona town offers a good mixed experience of sea and town, with convenient train links to Genova, Milano, Turin and France. It is very easy to get around Savona. Avoid Idea Hotel Plus.
