L’Antica Pieve Bed & Breakfast is a family-run property in Montale, a hamlet of Levanto, in the heart of the Cinque Terre National Park, about 4 km from the town beach.

Breakfast, served every day in a two-level dining room, features sweet and savory specialties such as Ligurian focaccia and homemade cakes, prepared with locally sourced organic ingredients. The hillside location allows guests to reach the center of Levanto and its train station in just a few minutes, an ideal starting point for Monterosso and Vernazza, while the Genoa Aquarium is about an hour’s drive away. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Montale is a small hillside hamlet of Levanto, surrounded by greenery and overlooking the heights that dominate the coast. The atmosphere is typical of the Ligurian hinterland, quiet and secluded, yet at a short distance from the sea and the town’s historic center, with the building still retaining original architectural features dating back to earlier eras.
From the B&B, Levanto beach is about 2.2 km away, while Levanto train station can be reached in 1.6 km, a convenient hub for traveling to Monterosso and Vernazza, both about 20 km away. The property recommends arriving with a private vehicle given the hillside location. The nearest airport is Genoa-Sestri, about 65 km away, while the Genoa Aquarium is about an hour’s drive.
Those staying here can spend their days hiking in the Cinque Terre National Park, less than 5 km away, or relax on the beaches of Bonassola and Valle Santa, both within 3.5 km. In summer the sea is the main destination, with the crystal-clear waters of the Cinque Terre villages easily reached by train; in autumn and spring the area is well suited to scenic walks among vineyards and olive groves. For meals, nearby you’ll find Pizzeria la Mela and the restaurant Antiga Ustaia Zita, both reachable within a few minutes.
Guests especially praise the staff’s hospitality, rated almost at the maximum, and the impeccable cleanliness of the rooms. The value for money is also highly appreciated. The hillside location, while scenic, requires a car to move around comfortably, as confirmed by the slightly lower scores on this aspect.
