The Cote D’Azur from Menton to the Massif de L’Esterel can be seen from the windows, just above the multitude of sea-pines that run the entire length of the sea-front in Bordighera, one of the most scenic on the Riviera dei Fiori.

It is possible to distinguish the houses in the old village of Menton and also the high rise apartment blocks of Monte-Carlo, and further still you can make out the shape of the aircraft above the airport of Nice, with the lights of the Promenade des Anglais.

In the fine and clear days of winter it is possible to see the islands of Lerins in front of Cannes and the islands of Hyeres near St Raphael.

Just a few steps away from the evocative rocks of Capo Sant’Ampelio, the most southern point of Liguria, Casa Albertieri offers hospitality in a unique and historical atmosphere, the noble building from the 16th century has conserved the old charm of the fresco ceilings and original fixtures.

The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with adjacent private bathrooms.

Breakfast is served in the main lounge under the big affresco where your day can begin in total tranquillity, with tea or coffee, fresh bread, cakes and croissants, fresh fruit, muesli, porridge oats, yoghurt, cheese, honey and various jams.

Situated in the historical centre, just outside the old city walls, at five minutes by foot to the sea, through the beautiful woods of pine trees of the Capo, Casa Albertieri is a classical B&B, managed as a separate part of the owners home.
