The Residence dei Due Porti is located in the center of Sanremo and offers easy access to the services and attractions of the city, which are all a maximum of 15-20 minutes’ walk. It is a fully equipped and supervised residence, located just opposite the sea, beaches and the 24 km bike path, which extends along the Western Liguria Coastal Park. It’s enjoyable all throughout the year thanks to the mild climate of the Riviera. The cycle path runs alongside the botanical park of Villa Ormond and the famous Villa Nobel, where the creator of the Noble Prize spent the last years of his life.

The Residence is within walking distance of Bresca Square, the heart of nightlife, and the old harbour with its seafood restaurants. Be sure to try the prawns in Sanremo, the pizza Sardenaira, the tasty Taggiasca olive oil, the Sweet Kisses of Sanremo and the homemade ice cream. Located just beside the old port are the public gardens with games for children and the archaeological area “Pian di Nave” with the Fort of Santa Tecla, set to become the new multi-purpose cultural center.

Residence dei Due Porti represents the point from which to explore the history and art of the City of Flowers. Just across the road, you need to take a picture of the “Zampillo”, the fountain with the inscription of Sanremo and characteristic palm trees in the background. The fountain is located right at the foot of Piazza Colombo, the heart of the city. At the corner you can visit the Church of the Angels of Santa Maria, a landmark included in the Ligurian stretch of the famous “Camino de Santiago de Compostela” and marked by the designs of the “Camino” posted its facade.

The pedestrian shopping streets begin at Piazza Colombo, with Corso Matteotti and its trendy shops and elegant window displays and also the street market on Tuesday and Saturday mornings. All along Corso Matteotti there are multiple places of interest, including the Ariston Theater, home of Italian Music Festival since 1977, the Civic Museum which is housed in the baroque Palazzo Borea d’Olmo, the nearby Russian Church, and also the Sanremo Casino’s beautiful Art Nouveau building. The casino offers a wide range of both French and American style games and even modern slot machines.

“La Pigna” with Piazza San Siro are very impressive sites and certainly among the best walking excursions in Sanremo, both just a short distance from Residence dei Due Porti. Dating back to the year 979, this is the historic center of the “City of Flowers”, and is laid out in a series of centered rings on an elevated hill. The famous writer Italo Calvino, who spent much of his youth in Sanremo, referred to the maze of alleyways of La Pigna as a “casbah.” Also nicknamed “La Scarpetta”, to this day La Pigna is full of multi-ethnic communities and the hill is dominated by the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Costa.
