Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Alassio

10 stays · 5 aparthotels and 5 serviced apartments

Aparthotels and serviced apartments suit Alassio, a seaside town on Liguria's Riviera di Ponente where families and couples often stay for a week or more. A kitchen helps with beach-day lunches and early breakfasts, and a separate living area is welcome when you are sharing with children. Wikipedia describes the town as both a winter health resort and a summer bathing destination, so apartments also work for off-season stays. To compare formats, see aparthotel vs hotel.

Where to stay in Alassio

Centro and the Budello

  • first-time visitors
  • beach stays
  • shops and restaurants

The old town is the pedestrianised heart of Alassio, and Wikipedia names the cobbled Budello as its central street. The visitalassio.com tourism site names the historic palaces in Budello and the ceramics of the Muretto among the town's attractions. Staying here means the sea, shops and restaurants are on foot, and, according to liguria.info, the Genoa-Ventimiglia railway line serves the town.

Villa della Pergola

  • gardens
  • couples
  • quiet stays

The Villa della Pergola gardens are one of the sights both the tourism site and the liguria.info regional guide pick out. Liguria.info describes the nineteenth-century gardens of the villa as open to the public from March to October, with collections of agapanthus and wisteria. It suits visitors who want a garden and a quieter base; check the walking distance to the beach for your address.

Solva

  • walking
  • quiet stays
  • views

Italian Wikipedia lists Solva as one of Alassio's frazioni. The tourist information mentions the old track to Solva among its trekking routes, which makes it a base for people who want to walk uphill from their accommodation. Check the distance to the beach and the nearest bus stop for your address.

Moglio

  • quiet stays
  • families
  • longer stays

Moglio is another of the three frazioni that Italian Wikipedia lists for Alassio (Caso, Moglio and Solva). As a more residential part of the municipality it can suit longer stays and visitors who prefer a calmer setting, though you should check how far the property is from the seafront.

Vegliasco

  • history
  • walking
  • views

Italian Wikipedia describes the Torre di Vegliasco as standing on a panoramic ridge with views over Alassio, Laigueglia and Capo Mele. It is a hillside area for visitors who want views and walking rather than direct beach access.

Getting around Alassio

According to the liguria.info guide, Alassio lies on the Genoa-Ventimiglia railway line and is served by many regional and Intercity trains. By road, it says to use the A10 motorway, leaving at Albenga, or the SS1 Aurelia. The same guide gives the nearest airport as Genoa and says flight deals to Nice can sometimes be better; it puts the town about 100 km from Genoa.

The guide gives distances from Alassio of about 45 km to the provincial capital (Savona), 100 km to Genoa and 20 km to Imperia, with Laigueglia 4 km and Albenga 5 km away. The old town is largely pedestrianised, so most visitors walk between the beach, shops and restaurants. For hill hamlets such as Solva or Moglio, check the access and parking of your property in advance.

Living in Alassio for longer

A longer stay in Alassio works well if you choose between the lively centre and the quieter hill hamlets. In the centre, the beach, shops and the train line are close; in Solva, Moglio or Vegliasco you trade some convenience for calm and views. The visitalassio.com site promotes walking along the ancient footpaths, including the Alta Via Baia del Sole, so a kitchen and a place to dry kit are useful. Our long-stay accommodation checklist lists what to compare.

Liguria.info describes the main beach as having very fine grey-white sand, with free and equipped sections and a dog-friendly area. It also mentions boat excursions to Gallinara Island, an uninhabited islet with an ancient Benedictine monastery, and the roughly 5.5 km Roman Via Iulia Augusta hiking route linking Alassio to Albenga. Italian Wikipedia describes a mild climate, with a continuous mountain chain sheltering the town from cold northern winds.

When to visit Alassio

Italian Wikipedia gives January highs of 11.7 degrees Celsius and lows of 7.7, and July highs of 26.9 and lows of 22.9, and describes a mild climate. The beach is the main draw in summer, and the tourism site says the town's beaches can be enjoyed all year round.

The Villa della Pergola gardens are open from March to October according to liguria.info, so spring and early autumn combine garden visits with milder walking weather. The tourism site has an events section, so check it for dates before you travel.

Wikipedia places Alassio in the Province of Savona. It is known for the Muretto di Alassio, a wall of signed ceramic tiles, for the Budello, a pedestrianised cobbled street in the old town, and for its sandy beaches. The English composer Edward Elgar wrote the concert overture In the South (Alassio) while on holiday there in the winter of 1903 to 1904. For the wider country, see Italy.
