Experience the Magic of Moneglia at Abbadia San Giorgio
Abbadia San Giorgio is a sanctuary of history and tranquility in Moneglia, where the echoes of the past blend seamlessly with modern elegance. Originally built in 1484 as a Franciscan convent, its double cloister still whispers the stories of the friars who once found solace within its frescoed walls. Today, it invites travelers to experience a rare harmony of heritage and refined hospitality.
Beyond the arched galleries, a secluded garden offers a peaceful retreat, while the upper portico—adorned with plush armchairs—provides the perfect setting for an evening aperitivo with a view of the ancient bell tower. Every corner is infused with quiet sophistication, from the carefully preserved stone floors to the rich textures of local slate and marble.
For those seeking deep relaxation, a soothing massage in the privacy of their room or a rejuvenating yoga session with a skilled instructor adds to the sense of well-being. Whether wandering through the cloister’s corridors or savoring a moment of stillness with a glass of wine in hand, guests at Abbadia San Giorgio find themselves immersed in a world where time slows, and beauty lingers.
