About Moneglia
Moneglia is a village in a large bay between two headlands, Punta Moneglia and Punta Rospo, at the mouth of the Petronio valley. The main beach is fine golden sand, looked after all year, with cliffs and scrub behind it and small coves tucked into the rocks beyond. A narrow carruggio splits the old centre between tall coloured buildings with slate doorways, and Via Vittorio Emanuele is where people stroll and shop. Evenings centre on that street and the restaurants around it, with the local fish appetiser scabeggio on many menus. The homes sit close to the village rather than strung across the hills. Most are modest, sleeping two to six, and few have a private pool. In winter the beach is still maintained and the trails behind the village are there to walk.
Is Moneglia right for you?
- Best for
- Couples and small families after a sandy beach and quiet evenings

Moneglia villa holidays: questions answered
Is the beach at Moneglia sand or pebble?
Sand. The main beach in the bay is fine and golden, and it is looked after all year. Beyond it the cliffs drop straight into the sea and hide small coves, and the wider coastline has rocky stretches as well as sandy ones.
Can you visit the Cinque Terre from Moneglia?
Yes, by train. Moneglia station is on the Genoa to La Spezia to Pisa line, with connections towards the Cinque Terre. Check timetables and changes for your day, because services are not all direct.
Is Moneglia or Sestri Levante the better base?
Moneglia is the smaller of the two, a village around one bay. Sestri Levante is the next town west and has the motorway junction, so it suits those who prefer quick road access to a quiet village feel.
Is Moneglia good in winter?
It works for walkers. The beach is maintained all year and a seaside walk is pleasant in any season, with trails behind the village. Check restaurant and shop opening times first, as a small resort runs a reduced winter timetable.
What walks start from Moneglia?
Trails behind the village head for Punta Baffe, Punta Moneglia and the Petronio valley. The area is a protected Natura 2000 site, so expect coastal scrub and cliffs rather than road walking.
