The town has a lively commercial district. The boardwalk is lined with palm trees and many restaurants. The town of Finale Ligure\u00a0is nominally divided into three &#8220;boroughs&#8221;. Finale Ligure\u00a0Marina (Finalmarina) is the main seaside part of the town, most frequented by tourists, while Finale Pia (Finalpia) is the traditional centre of the town, where a Benedictine abbey still stands. Finalborgo, the third borough and located further inland, consists of an old walled medieval town.<\/p>\n<p>We stayed at the small 4 storied hotel named Hotel Garbone on our last visit, and we were pleasantly surprised to see it still standing and still run by &#8220;Giovanni&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. a\u00a0boutique hotel opposite the Mediterranean ocean. \u00a0A different room this time, but still cute, clean and with a stunning view.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2025\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2025\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/vista-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2025\" alt=\"Finale Ligure taken from our bedroom window\" src=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/vista-02-300x133.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/vista-02-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/vista-02.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2025\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Finale Ligure taken from our bedroom window<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2026\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2026\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Finale_Ligure_Arco.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2026\" alt=\"Town centre\" src=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Finale_Ligure_Arco-300x239.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Finale_Ligure_Arco-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Finale_Ligure_Arco.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Town centre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2027\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2027\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/finale-l.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2027\" alt=\"Finale Ligure\" src=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/finale-l-300x224.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/finale-l-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/finale-l.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Finale Ligure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Finale-lig.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2028\" alt=\"Finale lig\" src=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Finale-lig-224x300.jpg\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Finale-lig-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Finale-lig.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2029\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2029\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/finale-ligu.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2029\" alt=\"Loved the bikes\" src=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/finale-ligu-300x224.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/finale-ligu-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/finale-ligu.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Loved the bikes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2030\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2030\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Finale-Ligune-12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2030\" alt=\"A &quot;Tanya&quot;
