B&B L’ Antica Macina is located on Via Garzi, in Quiliano, a small town in the Savona hinterland known for its hilly landscape dotted with olive groves and for the ancient medieval village that developed around the historic centre. The building housing the property dates back to the 1600s and still retains the rural character typical of the old mills in the area, now surrounded by a private garden and overlooking the first hills separating the coast from the Piedmontese hinterland.
The location is convenient for those who want to head both towards the sea and the countryside: Quiliano-Vado railway station is about 4.5 km away, while the beaches of Vado Ligure, Zinola and Fornaci are all around 5 km away.

In summer, the area is well suited to days at the beach along the Savona coast and dinners at typical restaurants in the centre of Quiliano, such as La Fenice, about 1.5 km away; in winter, walks in the hinterland and visits to the province’s historic villages tend to prevail.
