Moneglia is a small seaside village, located in the centre of a beautiful landscape named Tigullio. Portofino and the Cinque Terre, the two famous and probably most popular tourist places of the east coast, the Riviera di Levante, are both only at about 30 km from Moneglia. These loved destinations are perfect for nice one-day trips and in the summer time they can be easily reached from the sea by boat, avoiding a train trip or searching for car parking places.
 As the Latin name Monilia implies, the villages’ position is privileged because of its location in the centre of a small bay, surrounded by protecting hills. Moneglia has been known as jewel already in ancient times, because of the breathtaking views, the particular climate and the marvellous nature. These characteristic of excellence and the quality of the welcome of tourists had the effect that Moneglia actually hold the absolute record of the BLUE FLAGS that was awarded to it without interruption depuis 1991. (The blue flag is a certificate of quality of the seaside localities attributed by a commision ad hoc of the European Union).  The B&B La casa dell’Ammiraglio is ideally located in the western part of the village, called Ponente, in the heart of the old town, only about ten metres from the sea. Our rooms are on the second floor of an ancient patrician palace, which is among Moneglias’ most prestigious ones. The building has miraculously been spared from the bombings during the second world war. |
