Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Riviera di Ponente, Italy

They say west is best, which might just be true of Riviera di Ponente, a colourful stretch of Mediterranean coastline in Liguria, which winds west towards the French border. More rustic than Genoa’s easterly coastline, which harbours Portofino, it’s been a beloved haunt of literary legends (Byron, DH Lawrence and Hemingway, to name a few) and we can see why: crumbling churches, fishing-boat-dotted waters and forest-carpeted hills make a rather inspiring landscape.
