Primo Piano is a family-run bed and breakfast in the historic center of Moneglia, in Liguria, just 150 metres from the town’s beach.
The property occupies a period building overlooking the rooftops of the village and offers simple, bright rooms, almost all with a balcony or private terrace and views over the lanes below. The bathrooms are shared, located in the corridor, a typical choice for small village guesthouses that allows for more affordable rates. For those travelling in a group or with family, a large apartment is also available with three bedrooms, a private bathroom and space for up to six people.
Guests have access to free WiFi throughout the property and a shared terrace where they can enjoy summer evenings. The location, right in the heart of Moneglia, means restaurants, shops and the sea can all be reached on foot in a few minutes, while the train station is about 650 metres away. It’s a convenient base for exploring the Cinque Terre and the eastern Ligurian coast without giving up the charm of an authentic, less touristy fishing village.
The rooms at Primo Piano are divided into three double/twin room types, all between 10 and 19 square metres, equipped with a dining area, wardrobe, balcony and private terrace, with a shared bathroom in the corridor featuring a walk-in shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries. The main differences relate to size and bed configuration, allowing them to accommodate from two to three people, including a child in the larger units.
For those travelling in a group or wanting more independence, the property also offers a 100-square-metre apartment with three bedrooms, nine beds in total and a private bathroom, designed for large families or groups of up to six people. In all room types WiFi is free and the terrace remains a common meeting point for guests.
The most compact of the double/twin rooms, 10 square metres with a dining area, wardrobe, balcony and its own terrace; the bathroom, as in the other double rooms, is shared in the corridor with a walk-in shower and toiletries.
Almost twice the size of the first room, at 19 square metres and able to accommodate up to three people, including a child; it also features a balcony, terrace and dining area, with a shared bathroom in the corridor.
Identical in size to the previous room (19 sqm) but with a different bed configuration, designed for those who prefer an extra single bed rather than a double as the base option; also with balcony, terrace and shared bathroom in the corridor.
The only option with a private bathroom in the property: a 100-square-metre apartment with three bedrooms and nine beds in total, ideal for large families or groups of up to six people looking for greater independence.
Primo Piano focuses on a few essential services, designed for a simple, informal stay in the style of a village guesthouse. WiFi is free throughout the property, as is internet access in the common areas, while the shared terrace is the ideal spot to relax while looking out over the rooftops of Moneglia.
The entire property is non-smoking, including the rooms, and options suitable for families with children are available. Towels and toilet paper are provided in the rooms, while guests can use a shared kitchen to prepare their own meals, a detail appreciated by those staying longer or travelling on a tighter budget. It’s an offering designed for those seeking the essentials in a central location, without the costs of a more fully equipped property.
Primo Piano is located in the historic center of Moneglia, a fishing village on the Riviera di Levante nestled between the sea and the hills of the Genoese hinterland. The building is just steps from the village’s characteristic lanes, shops and traditional restaurants, in a quiet yet central setting, away from the traffic of the main roads.
Moneglia’s beach is just 150 metres away, while the historic center with its small square and evening venues can be reached on foot in a few minutes. Moneglia’s train station, on the Genoa-La Spezia line, is about 650 metres away and provides easy connections to the Cinque Terre and Genoa; Genoa-Sestri airport is about 53 km away. For those travelling by car, the Bracco pass, a historic Apennine crossing, is about 6 km away.
In the summer months, Moneglia’s beach and the nearby Renà beach, about 5 km away, are the main destination for swimming and water sports, while in spring and autumn the Punta Manara promontory, reachable via a scenic trail about 7 km away, offers walks overlooking the sea amid Mediterranean scrub and coastal views. Moneglia is also a starting point for trips to Levanto and the Cinque Terre, easily reached by train, as well as excursions to the Abbey of San Fruttuoso and Portofino’s Castello Brown, both about 41 km away.
Guests particularly praise the staff’s helpfulness (9) and the central location (8.9), especially appreciated by couples. Cleanliness and comfort scores are also very good, while services and value for money remain solid but more average, consistent with the simplicity of a family-run B&B.
