Extend the summer with an off-season escape to the sea. Enjoy wonderful landscapes and uncrowded beaches, pleasant temperatures. But also a game of golf, a horseback ride, pampering in the SPA, or gourmet experiences. In a postcard setting with the sea for unforgettable stays here are the addresses that HotelmyPassion has selected for you

Sea, taste of the sea, and a desire to return even in September.

An off-season holiday or a weekend, in this month are a discovery for the senses: the Bel Paese knows how to offer an infinite summer to those who want to take the opportunity of a last sunbath, of admiring landscapes caressed by a softer and not to be surrounded by crowds of people.

In September the days are still long and are filled with the double pleasure of a stop on the beach and then a tour inland. Of sporting activities such as a game of golf or a horseback ride, of well-being and pampering in the SPA or gourmet experiences.

In the South and on the islands, the off-season extends its magic until October, in a “Saint Martin’s summer” that is as unexpected as it is surprising. Here are the addresses of charming hotels selected by HotelmyPassion for late summer getaways.

Liguria

The sweet life of the Ligurian Riviera is wonderful even out of season and September.

There are many coastlines awarded with the guarantee of a Blue Flag and many activities from shopping to boat trips, from the discovery of ancient villages to pampering in the SPA.

Nestled between the bays of beautiful Portofino and the Cinque Terre, Excelsior Palace Hotel Rapallo is a 5-star hotel in a naturalistic context of great beauty. In front of a dream sea and around lush vegetation.

An icon of luxury hospitality, Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast has a style that mixes refined timeless elegance and contemporaneity. In fact, it has a unique allure that evokes ‘La Dolce Vita’ and here, you feel truly special, right from the moment you wake up.

An intoxicating burst of joy and energy. Opening the shutters of your suite and directly looking out onto the sea to contemplate a scenario of rare beauty seduces the mind and soul.

Not to be missed: take a bath or laze on the hydromassage beds in the marvelous infinity pool facing the sea of the exclusive Beach Club while your gaze is lost on the infinite horizon.

For the more dynamic, an aquagym lesson in the transparent waters of the sea. Effective and fun! And dine on the terrace of the Eden Roc Lounge & Restaurant from which you can admire the Portofino Bay.

One hour from Sanremo and the French border, Hotel Windsor is the ideal place to experience the Italian summer away from the crowds, savoring the sweet life of the Ligurian Riviera in a modern way.

This boutique hotel is in fact part of Design Hotels and the signature of its refined welcome is the touch of contemporaneity.

The flagship is the restaurant. A short distance from the beach, it has 40 seats inside and 20 outside and is ideal for a gourmet lunch or dinner, with a sea view.

The link between food and “genius loci” is at the center of the gastronomic proposal, which enhances the raw material, in particular local fish. But also the meats coming from the hinterland, the zero kilometer vegetables and greens, all seasoned with a magnificent view.

Sicily
One of the most loved islands. Many facets, different ways and places to experience it. Located on the southern coast of Sicily, just outside the characteristic city of Sciacca, Verdura Resort  by Rocco Forte Hotels is one of the most exclusive and evocative destinations in Europe.

It stands in a location of unparalleled beauty, immersed in a 230-hectare property. A landscape embellished with olive and orange groves, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view along the 1.8 km of private coastline.

A strong, uncontaminated and at times wild nature, inebriated by the scent of the typical Mediterranean vegetation and the sea breeze.

A nature harmoniously inserted into the well-kept greenery of the golf courses. In the background the blue of the sea and the blue of the sky act as a frame.

Immersed in the quiet of a centuries-old pine forest, that of the Isola Bella Nature Reserve, La Plage Resort in Taormina offers an incomparable view of the sea and the island.

For nature lovers, the exclusive Eco-Resort is made up of bungalows with private gardens, some with outdoor jacuzzis, distributed in a context of rare beauty. Furnished in a contemporary style with details that recall local tradition, they are designed to offer maximum privacy, have direct access to the private beach and the Beach Club.

La Plage Resort is part of the Ragosta Hotels Collection group and is connected to the center of Taormina via the cable car, a few steps away.

For some, Syracuse is still the capital of Sicily: classic history, baroque profiles, authentic flavours. Its coast, then, is a string of beaches and sea that speaks of beauty and history.

Between September and October you can go to discover its natural reserves, villages and cities shaped by refinement and culture, such as Noto, Scicli , Modica and Ragusa.

Starting point is Borgo di Luce I Monasteri, on the outskirts of Syracuse (SR). Here, surrounded by citrus groves, palm trees and olive trees, you stay in rooms and suites, to enjoy the sea on the beach: that of Marzamemi, at the gates of the Vendicari nature reserve.

Upon returning, guests continue to relax in the outdoor swimming pool with jacuzzi and in the Zagara Spa.

Tuscany
September is the best month to fall in love with Tuscany and the Maremma. That is, when nature offers the perfect light to discover the most famous seaside resorts and suggestive villages.

For example, Suvereto, Pitigliano or Venturina Terme. But also of the Gulf of Baratti and the beaches of Torre Mozza and Cala Violina, for a tour out of the ordinary.

The Sense Experience Resort is a 5-star resort right on the sea of Follonica, with a private beach just a few steps from the rooms.

Immersed in a park where maritime pines and English gardens stand majestically, it is a retreat where you can find mental and physical balance.

The architecture in this place is just a link between the guest and the environment, a way to live immersed in light, nature and beauty. In fact, walking in the park along the avenues or stopping there gives peace and a sense of well-being.

And it is an indescribable emotion that you feel taking a dip at sunset in the hydromassage pool from which you can enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscapes.

An emotion that continues by dining at the ‘Eatè’ restaurant, a gourmet experience that satisfies all the senses.

The new wing, named in homage to the local stone, includes 18 suites spread over 3 floors overlooking the hotel garden, all equipped with a terrace and balcony.

The renovation also involved the hotel’s restaurant offering. La Magnolia, led for the second year by chef Marco Bernardo, becomes the real gourmet space open for internal and external customers and moves to the first floor of the Villa’s annex.

Sardinia
Hard, pure and Ichnusa, like its ancient, almost ancestral name: Sardinia is a summer of possibilities all year round, but autumn is the beautiful season of emotions. Horse Country Resort Congress & Spa is a naturalistic paradise immersed in 40 hectares of uncontaminated nature set between the sea and a centuries-old pine forest.

Overlooking the splendid expanse of sea of the Gulf of Oristano, on the central-western coast of the most fascinating island in Italy, this resort is a true oasis of well-being where you can regenerate and regain contact with your body and nature.

The horseback riding, the private beach, the swimming pools, the large spaces – which this year more than ever represent true luxury – the scent of the sea, the pine forest and the vegetation of the Mediterranean scrub.

The restaurants, the Western Village, the outdoor activities. The Poseidonya Wellness Centre, specialized in thalassotherapy and algotherapy treatments, where you can relax.

The kindness and smiles of the staff. A more grazing light highlights the colors of an ever-evolving nature.

One hour from Cagliari, Chia, in the south of the island, offers bays, beaches, coves with crystal clear waters and high sand dunes. Aquadulci is a refined and intimate refuge located in a corner of paradise.

The perfect place in which to regenerate and pamper yourself, with rooms and suites with a garden or terrace overlooking the sea, a large swimming pool and the Aquadulci à la carte restaurant which brings local raw materials and island excellence to the table.

A sophisticated portrait, the personalized hospitality of a home and the accurate services of a luxurious 5 star.

In this magical place, far from the chaos and frenzy of the cities, the gaze is free to wander over the sea and the thick vegetation that fills and embraces the entire estate.

The bougainvillea is queen of the house and leads towards the swimming pool – almost an ancient temple with a majestic colonnade – and the vegetable garden of Maestro Fulvio Pierangelini, host of the gastronomic experience, among lively, frank and clean flavors like this fantastic land.

One of the many wonderful experiences to live in the Masseria. For guests, 40 rooms, with the targeted addition of Suites and Junior Suites. All units boast a private garden from which to admire a unique Mediterranean panorama.

Salento is synonymous with the beautiful season of the heart. Among the white beaches that frame the natural oasis of Cesine, the Acaya Golf Resort & Spa (LE) is a 4-star hotel ideal for prolonging the benefit of the flavor of the sea and its enticements on body and soul.

Immersed in 120 hectares of Mediterranean vegetation and olive trees, it has an agreement with the beach. It also offers unforgettable experiences between the two large outdoor swimming pools, the 1,200 m² Spa, the Longevity Club and the Gian Giacomo restaurant.
