Ospedaletti is the pretty seaside village at the bottom of the hill where the property is located (5 minutes in the car or 20 minutes to walk downhill, but 25-30 minutes to walk back up the hill!)

*Recommendations*:
-L’anciua is a little beach bar we recommend for casual drinks and a snack while enjoying the sea view.
-It is great fun to hire bikes or a quadricycle and cycle to San Remo and beyond!
