Moneglia

Combining a Mediterranean climate with a seaside location and resort culture, this Ligurian communehas everything a relaxing trip to Italy needs.

Time your arrival in Moneglia to catch the sunlight reflecting off its iridescent beaches and cream-colored building façades. Smell its faintly salty air and fresh scent of pollen. Swim in deep blue waters. Catch up on reading and sunbathe next to crags that are perfect for climbing. You simply won’t want to leave this beautiful spot.

Located on the Italian Riviera, Moneglia is a coastal village against the rocks and green hills of Punta Rospo. Its bright, sandy beaches are as attractive as the village’s Genovan charm. The narrow, medieval streets of the village centre, known to the locals as the carrugio, offer a shady escape from the sunny shore. Enjoy a cool drink outside and bask in the sun.

Even if you are not a guest there, make the 5-minute walk uphill from the village centre to Castello di Monleone. Filled with Italian antiques, ceiling frescoes and sweeping coastal views, this 19th-century castle now offers luxury accommodation. It is also near a park that provides a wonderful contrast to Moneglia’s many beachside surroundings.

Taste authentic Ligurian olive oil. This premium export perfectly accompanies the Mediterranean style of cuisine native to this region. Sample these rich flavours at Assirto, the cavernous enoteca or wine cellar with friendly service and a finely curated wine list. Spend a week savouring dinners at the numerous other restaurants in the area that have perfected this delicious cuisine.

Purchase the exquisite olive oil from this village and bring it home. While here enjoy beauty and relaxing nature in hotels ranging from comfortable and inexpensive to the palatial. Holiday rentals are also popular choices for longer stays with time to practice cooking Ligurian meals before leaving the country.

Fly into GenoaOpens in a new window and continue to Moneglia by train. Driving from Genoa takes considerably longer, but is an excellent choice for those who want more views of the Riviera.
