We stayed in the larger of the two houses, La Maclura, situated in the quiet hamlet of Vegliasco. Vegliasco is 2km from Moglio which has a shop, trattoria, bakery and bar. You can also catch the very reliable bus to Alassio from Moglio if you don't fancy the drive down the mountain yourself. It's a 10 minute drive to Alassio which has beach bars, restaurants and lots of shops.
We were two families so the layout worked perfectly for us as the adults had the two double bedrooms and the children had the children's rooms up in the attic and on the lower ground floor.
The views of Alassio and the sea are spectacular. Elisa and Ricardo were nearby and helped with restaurant bookings and tips on where to park in Alassio and locations of free beaches. They have created a beautiful home and gardens. The house was lovely inside with two terraces and an outdoor pool. We were lucky that the house next door was free during our second week and so we were able to use the outdoor kitchen and pizza oven that belongs to the neighbouring house, also owned by Elisa.
This house is the perfect Italian retreat for a quiet and relaxing holiday.
