Albenga 

Residence Villa Miky is located in the town of Albenga, a modern city, a treasure chest to open and discover with all its beauties. There are hidden treasures everywhere: from the past stand out not only ancient towers, medieval walls and monuments, but also the batipstery, the cathedral, noble palaces and other religious buildings, The ground as well hides unique archaeological finds, while the sea bottom preserves the important memories of the passed commercial traffics…and on the Gallinara Island, which breaks the glance of people looking at the horizon, emerges a sixteen century tower built on the ruins of an ancient Benedictine monastery.
In Albenga the past lives together with a city in continuous evolution, which grows and fits to the multiculturality, to the requirements of the modernity and globalisation.
The forthcoming construction of the new school complex, the project for an advanced touristic port, the beach nourishment, the recovery of precious historical buildings useful for the inhabitants and, above all, the new and modern hospital reveal a city in full ferment.In this wide and complex scenario, the interest of the tourist wanders in several events aimed to satisfy the demand, exploiting in the same time the features of the territory: the beach area offers, most of all during summer time, musical and entertainment shows particularly dedicated to young people, while in the historical centre the attention is turned to cultural, historical and scientific events.

But not only: the wide plain, economic motor outside the walls, is the mother of local typical products that make Albenga a floriculture and culinary capital.
