I decided to spend only two nights here. The beaches were fabulous, the crystaline water was warm, and the sun was hot. The hotel I booked was The Baia di Chia Resort, part of the Curio collection by Conrad. It had 77 rooms on numerous hilly acres of coast-side land. Some of the cottages offered amazing views of the coastline. Since I was staying only two nights, I booked a superior cottage with an incredible view, as seen below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/711173A9-5E03-4F9F-926F-EE5E53654628_1_201_a.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2483\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View to the beach from my cottage near the top of the cliff..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7470DE1E-3A75-428C-8F2F-1F01BA0ACE52_1_201_a.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2505\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This perspective of the cliffside hotel cottages was taken from the lighthouse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7713F2A8-1F27-4103-82D2-01215BDD08E1_1_201_a.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2501\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A portion of the path down to the water.
