Antico Melo

Staying at the Antico Melo agriturismo allows you to enjoy a delightful vacation surrounded by nature and peace. From the property, there are several trails to explore on foot or by mountain bike. You will also have the chance to taste our dishes made with local ingredients on the terrace, which offers a charming view of the valley.

The Antico Melo agriturismo is the perfect retreat for those seeking a relaxing stay immersed in nature, just 20 minutes away from the beautiful beaches of Albenga and Alassio. Its location is also ideal for outdoor sports enthusiasts, thanks to its proximity to the rock climbing areas of Val Pennavaire, Toirano, and Finale Ligure. Nestled in greenery, the agriturismo features three elegant double rooms, each equipped with a private bathroom, a “tea time” corner, and a small library for peaceful moments.

Breakfast, made with fresh and wholesome ingredients, can be enjoyed in the designated dining area or, weather permitting, outdoors on the terrace with a panoramic view of the village and the medieval castle of Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena. The farm produces extra virgin olive oil and seasonal fruits and vegetables, which are available for sale on-site. The restaurant offers seasonal dishes made with local products, providing an authentic experience of Ligurian cuisine.

During the winter months, guests can participate in olive harvesting, an activity that contributes to the production of oil for the Arnasco olive cooperative. The agriturismo is also an excellent starting point for hiking or mountain biking along the trails of the Alta Via Dei Monti Liguri, with guided tours available upon request.

In addition to the natural beauty, the property is conveniently located near numerous attractions, such as the Le Caravelle Water Park, the Villanova Racetrack, and the golf courses in Garlenda. The Toirano Caves and a riding school are just a 10-minute drive away.

The agriturismo continues the tradition of the “mela Carla,” an ancient variety typical of the Finale area, which grows in its orchards. Small, irregular, and delicate, this apple is cherished for its sweetness and juicy flesh. The passion and dedication for nurturing traditional fruits are reflected in the warm and family-friendly atmosphere that the agriturismo offers to its visitors. Antico Melo is open year-round, welcoming guests with the cozy ambiance of days gone by.
