Genova is a hidden gem in beautiful Ligurian coast and a perfect destination for a day trip from Agnes & Albin. A vibrant city with so many contradictions, small alleys and big palazzos, historical city of banks and fishermen, so many gastronomical delicacies like pesto sauce, farinata (kind of focaccia made from chickpea flours), everything fritto (!), ligurian olive oil etc…You can smell the … Read More Postcard from Genova

Fresh paint! And ready for season 2022!

Agnes & Albin is ready to say hello to season 2022 guests. During the winter time we had our house painted and now, with fresh paint, it looks even more welcoming.

That is our guideline here – to keep things as original as possible.  Our reservation … Read More Fresh paint! And ready for season 2022!

For a day trip we recommend Noli. It’s a small fishermen’s village and you can drive little scenic roads if you don’t want to take the highway route. … Read More Al mare
