In the evening, upon returning to Saglietto, an aperitif and small delicate Ligurian snacks (green pie, bruschetta with tasty tomatoes, olive pate and a fresh Vermentino) will give you the opportunity to sample the flavours and aromas of the Mediterranean cuisine. We can offer these facilities for most part of the year as we are positioned in an amazing sheltered area which offers an incredible microclimate and where the winters offer the most spectacular colours and quality of light so renowned amongst painters and artists.

 

The area is rightly known as the "Riviera of Flowers" and you can walk even in the depth of winter amongst the mimosa trees, bird of paradise and the brilliance of the lemons and oranges. All this crowned in the background by the snow capped peaks of the Maritime Alps.

If you want to travel a bit further afield  why not visit some of these places.

Genoa........The capital city of Liguria and driving on the motorway taking about 1.30 hr.Has been an important sea port since roman times and is now also home to a fantastic aquarium in the port area from which Christopher Columbus sailed.

 

Portofino.....Well known by the international jet set and a typical example of a small Ligurian fishing port only that now you can buy designer clothes instead of anchovies

 

Dolceaqua......Just 10 km from the french border home to the famous hump backed bridge painted by Monet and well known for its production of “Rossese” wine

 

French Riviera...... You can be sipping a drink at the Cafè de Paris in front of the Casino in Monte Carlo in just one hours drive!  Add on another 30 minutes and you could be strolling along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice or browsing among the old town in its huge open air market
