About Alassio

Alassio sits on a broad sandy bay along the Ligurian coast, between the Capo Mele headland and the town of Albenga. Its seafront, the little Muretto wall covered in signed tiles, and the old centre make up the town, and Gallinara island lies just offshore. The Cinque Terre, Finale Ligure and the French border are along the coast. May to September is the beach season, June and September are quieter and mild, and winter is calm with the Ligurian Alps behind the coast.
