Hotel Il Saraceno
$247
Perched precariously on the cliffs of Riomaggiore, Hotel Il Saraceno loomed like a relic from a forgotten age, its weathered stones whispering secrets of sailors lost to the depths beneath. As night fell, the ghostly figure of a sailor, eyes hollow and mouth agape in a silent scream, was said to wander the grounds, accompanied by the mournful echoes of crashing waves and distant voices that wove a chilling dirge through the air. Guests, drawn to its charm, often awoke to find the salty scent of the sea mingling with an inexplicable dread, as if the very walls were listening, waiting for the next soul to claim.
