We really loved our stay here. The hotel is beautifully decorated (lovely colours and textures and art) and feels very welcoming. The staff were lovely - helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice and opportunities to try things we wouldn’t have at home (ricotta and honey for example). We did a cookery course with Orietta in which we learnt a lot and also got to eat what we had made at the end including their home preserved anchovies. It was interesting to hear about the area and food traditions and we now know why our foccaccia has never been successful. We also got a tour of the gardens and got to see all the things they grow and smell the herbs. They make their own red and rose wine which is also very good. I would recommend eating in their restaurant which uses home grown fruit and vegetables and has an inventive menu. We ate there twice as the set menu changes every day but they also have a la carte options which was good for our teenagers (16 and 18). The pool area was relaxing with nice views and thoughtfully arranged loungers. Moneglia has a beach where you can swim even when it is rough. Our teenagers were welcomed by holidaying Italians to play football games in the sea. It has beautiful tree lined avenues and the lift makes it easy to get back to the hotel (and it is not a long walk to the beach anyway). We had some great lunches at the beach restaurant nearest the hotel. You can get a boat to visit the Cinque Terra. It felt like a bubble of calm and relaxation but with a constant stream of nice things and people popping up! Being able to get there by train is a massive plus for us. We will definitely return to do some walking and more eating and drinking and relaxing..

My husband and I stayed at Villa Edera for 5 nights on our honeymoon and had the best experience here out of our entire 2 week getaway. The property itself is truly something beautiful and we loved how it was a bit tucked away out of the general public/downtown area of Moneglia (plus the walk to the beach and downtown was very easy to do). Moneglia itself is a quaint, Italian coastal town that is perfect for couples looking to truly immerse themselves in the local culture. We were greeted every morning to a beautiful made-to-order breakfast out on the patio by the pool that was one of the most delicious things we tasted during our entire trip. The rooms were clean, quiet, and cool. We also enjoyed the pool which was newly remodeled with comfortable, clean lounge chairs. We took part in a few additional activities offered (the wine tasting and pesto making class) and absolutely loved these experiences. Lastly, the restaurant on property served the best food we had during our entire Italy trip— we loved it so much we ate here 3 out of 5 nights of our stay! We cannot wait to come back.
