Location & what to see

Piccolo Hotel is located in the center of Moneglia, a seaside village on the Ligurian Riviera di Levante, just 40 meters from the town beach and 10-20 meters from restaurants such as Ristorante Monile and Acqua e Farina. The setting is typical of Ligurian coastal towns, with colorful houses, a pedestrian seafront promenade and a small marina a short walk away.

The property is therefore a good base for those wanting to explore the coast without having to drive every day.

In summer, the beach and water activities are the focus of the stay, while in low season the area is ideal for walks along the coast and visits to nearby villages such as Deiva Marina, also reachable by train in just a few minutes.
