Why us…

The Art of Hospitality

For us, hospitality is not just a service—it’s an art passed down from generation to generation. We firmly believe in the warmth of traditional hospitality, like that of a grandmother waiting for you in the kitchen, with the front door open and the key in the lock, ready to make you a good coffee.

We are not just a hotel—we are a family that opens the doors of its home. No matter what time you arrive, whether alone or with company, full of energy or tired from your journey, we will always welcome you with a sincere smile, making you feel like part of our story from the very moment you step over our 200-year-old slate threshold.

Our staff, predominantly female, will take care of every detail of your stay with the same attention and warmth we would give to a lifelong friend. Because to us, every guest is truly part of the family.

Living the Village

Imagine staying in a historic house where every stone tells two hundred years of history, and your hallway is the narrow streets of an authentic Ligurian village.
This is Relais del Maro: not just a hotel, but a way of life integrated into the beating heart of Borgomaro.

Our rooms, spread across three historic buildings no more than 120 meters from the “heart” of the property, allow you to experience the village as a true local. Here, you are not just a passing guest—you become part of a living ecosystem that includes residents, visitors, and centuries-old traditions.

We are more than just a hotel: we are a social hub that helps keep the historic center alive, breathing new life into this small village where children still play in the square and locals call each other by name.

Our way of relaxing is different

At Relais del Maro, relaxation has the charm of times gone by. In our garden with a pool, you can rediscover the pleasure of “air baths,” a practice our grandparents swore by—moments of pure well-being immersed in Liguria’s natural beauty.

Here, time slows down, marked only by the chimes of the village church. You can finally read that book that has been waiting for too long, refresh yourself in the whirlpool, or simply unwind on the lawn, surrounded by the scent of aromatic herbs.

At night, let yourself be lulled by the gentle flow of the river, the song of the frogs, and a starry sky you may have forgotten even existed in the city.

A Sustainable Paradise

For us, sustainability is not a trend but a way of life. Our Albergo Diffuso was born from the restoration and renovation of historic buildings, proving that you don’t need to build from scratch to create something special.

We have chosen to develop a genuine and environmentally friendly form of tourism, where tradition and innovation blend seamlessly without compromising on comfort. From solar panels to organic products, every choice we make is designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining elegance.

Our vision is of a region that looks to the future while staying true to its roots, where every guest becomes part of this commitment to more sustainable tourism.

The Flavors of the Region

The true soul of a place is discovered through its flavors. That’s why we work closely with small local producers from Liguria and Piedmont, bringing only top-quality, zero-kilometer products to your table.

From breakfast to afternoon tea, every food moment becomes a cultural experience. Our natural and genuine products tell stories of passion and tradition: from the exquisite Taggiasca olive oil to the fine cheeses of southern Piedmont, every taste is a journey through the region.

We don’t just offer meals—we offer the opportunity to discover authentic Ligurian gastronomy through genuine flavors and traditional recipes.
