Moneglia: your living room by the sea
The crystal clear sea of Moneglia (Blue Flag for decades) is your daily horizon. A few minutes from our hill, one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of Italy" awaits you, with its protected bay and historic alleys. It is the perfect place for a day of pure relaxation on the beach or for an aperitif at sunset, knowing that the coolness and silence of your "base camp" are just above you.
Zero-mile Trekking: Departure from Littorno
The real luxury here is forgetting the car. Lace up your boots and go out the gate of our farmhouse: you are already on the trail. Routes immersed in the scents of the Mediterranean scrub await you, ancient mule tracks that climb towards the ridge and reward you with sudden and spectacular views of the entire bay. Exploring nature has never been easier.
At the center of everything: Cinque Terre and Portofino
Being your "Base Camp" means giving you the luxury of strategic convenience. You are exactly in the middle: to the east the iconic Cinque Terre, to the west the elegance of Portofino and Santa Margherita. Forget the stress of traffic: thanks to the Moneglia station, you can reach these pearls by train or boat, enjoy the day and return for dinner in the silence of our hill.
Vertical Genoa: from the Rolli to the Forts
Genoa, the "Superba", must be discovered vertically. In addition to the majesty of the Palazzi dei Rolli (UNESCO) and the emotion of the Aquarium, we invite you to discover the panoramic face of the city. Using the Righi Funicular or the Granarolo Rack Railway, you can climb in a few minutes from the center up to the ancient defensive walls and Forts: a spectacular urban trek suspended between sky and sea.
The other Liguria: between history and legends
Behind the sea lies an archaic Liguria. Set out on the Celtic Trail: a path through woods and mystery where stone tells forgotten stories. Keep your eyes peeled: along the way you can spot carved faces walled into the facades of the houses and, for the more adventurous, the challenge is to find the Giant Face in the rock, an imposing sculpture shrouded in mystery watching over the valley.
