Hotels with Swimming Pool in Borghetto di Vara

For a taste of rural Liguria away from the coast, consider Borghetto di Vara.

This small village is the gateway to the lush Vara Valley, where the main attraction is the Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrimage route to Rome.

You can walk a stretch of this historic path directly from the village center, passing the Romanesque Church of San Cristoforo. The real charm lies in exploring the surrounding hamlets like Brugnato, with its distinctive cathedral, or simply enjoying the slow pace along the Vara River. This is a destination for walkers, cyclists, and travelers seeking quiet authenticity rather than nightlife. It suits couples and solo travelers looking for a peaceful retreat. While having a car is ideal for exploring the valley, Borghetto di Vara is connected by train on the La Spezia-Pisa line, making it accessible without one. Staying in the historic village center puts you steps from cafes and the trailhead. Accommodation here is mostly small, family-run guesthouses and agriturismos, offering a genuine local experience. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the simple and welcoming Hotel Valle del Vara, which is typical of the area's focus on comfort and hospitality over luxury. Expect warm service and a true connection to the landscape.
