Top 14 things to do and attractions in Albissola Marina

Attended a wedding of close friends! Extremely walkable from the marina, gorgeous location! A proper Italian experience.

I attended a wedding in this location. Although the facade it's not so much well maintained, the internal spaces are astonishing. I loved it, especially its wonderful frescoes with depicted bucolic scenes of life. Unfortunately I guess it's not possible to wander through the italian style garden. It is to be noticed the fact that Villa Farraggiana was just the summer house of a noble family, don't be surprised if you can't find a lot of historical background on it. There is a large free parking at the bottom of the Villa.

Very old classic Villa you can have a tour around. Lovely gardens and historic building. Something to do for a couple of hours.

Interesting and beautiful

Awesome place to visit.

(Translated by Google) I visited the Fornace thanks to the volunteers who keep it open and who are indispensable for understanding this place. The 17th century furnace was used for the production of pots and pans. The rich had copper cookware. Most used crock before the advent of aluminum. The gray clay was available in the area and was mixed in the tubs then for an initial drying it was placed outdoors on the brick walls built in steps for that purpose. Then the turners gave the desired shape to the raw material. With subsequent firings in the wood-fired furnace the biscuit was obtained, i.e. cooked twice, up to 900 degrees. Then to fix the painting up to 1200. Only experience guided the hand of craftsmanship. There were no thermometers. On the site there are also two tanks where the colors were prepared. On the wall of the first drying there remained some residues that the women collected to make macaques, figurines of the characters from the nativity scene which they then painted. A tradition that today we try to preserve. Thanks to the volunteers who gave me a truly interesting experience. (Original) Ho visitato la Fornace grazie ai volontari che la mantengono aperta e chi sono indispensabili per la comprensione di questo luogo. La fornace del 1600 era utilizzata per la produzione di pignatte, pentole. I ricchi avevano pentolame in rame. La maggior parte usava il coccio prima dell'avvento dell' alluminio. L'argilla grigia era disponibile sul territorio e veniva miscelata nelle vasche poi per una prima asciugatura era messa all'aperto sui muri di mattoni realizzati a gradini per quello scopo. Poi i tornitori davano la forma desiderata alla materia prima. Con le cotture successive nella fornace alimentata a legna si otteneva il biscotto, cioè cotto due volte, fino a 900 gradi. Poi per fissare la verniciatura fino a 1200. Solo l'esperienza guidava la mano dell'artigianato. Non c'erano termometri. Sul luogo solo presenti anche due vasche dove venivano preparati i colori. Sul muro della prima asciugatura rimanevano dei residui che le donne raccoglievano per realizzare i macachi, figurine dei personaggi del presepe che poi dipingevano. Una tradizione che oggi si cerca di conservare. Grazie ai volontari che mi han regalato una esperienza davvero interessante.

(Translated by Google) I noticed with bitterness that the damaged mosaics of the artists' walk have been "patched" with cement. But aren't public administrators ashamed of such havoc? (Original) Ho notato con amarezza che i mosaici danneggiati della passeggiata degli artisti sono stati "rattoppati" col cemento. Ma non si vergognano gli amministratori pubblici di tanto scempio?

(Translated by Google) Stunning museum that I had the pleasure of visiting today; very kind volunteers who briefly showed me the wonderful macaque statuettes on display, and the other pieces on display such as a collection of plates with the typical decorations of Albissola over the years. Absolutely worth seeing is a kiln recovered with restorations. I really recommend looking for this little museum gem in the historic center (Original) Stupendo museo che ho avuto il piacere di visitare oggi;gentilissimi i volontari che brevemente mi hanno esposto le meravigliose statuette esposte) macachi, e gli altri pezzi esposti come una raccolta di piatti con i decori tipici di Albissola negli anni.Da vedere assolutamente una fornace recuperata con i restauri. Consiglio veramente di cercare nel centro storico questo piccolo gioiello museale

(Translated by Google) Our local ancient history. An extremely important place that should be valued, visited and protected much more!! Fascinating place, a door to Time...interesting Events!..let's multiply them!!!!👊 (Original) La Nostra storia antica locale. Un luogo troppo Importante che dovrebbe esser valutato,visitato e protetto molto di piu!! Affascinante luogo ,una porta sul Tempo...interessanti Eventi!..moltiplichiamoli!!!!👊

(Translated by Google) An interesting place where ceramic exhibitions are held. It is an ancient kiln for firing Albisola ceramics. Worth visiting. (Original) Un luogo interessante dove fatte mostre sulla ceramica. È un'antica fornace per la cottura delle ceramiche albisolesi. Da visitare.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic experience! Excellent guide who explained the process of making and firing ceramics with passion! (Original) Fantastica esperienza! Bravissima guida che ha spiegato il processo della realizzazione e della cottura della ceramica con passione!

This was so fun to do with our pup, I wish these were across the coast available. Super fun for a day, and a very welcome relaxation after all the much poorer public spiaggia’s per cani. The food and drinks selection was a bit sparse, but still fine, the dog parcour was cute and we are for sure coming back if we are in the area.

Loved this beach, sandy and lots of space for dogs to run and kids to build sand castles. €60 for a lounger, a chair and parasol for the whole day. We paid €10 for an extra lounger. Especially loved that they give you a key for your own hut where you can change and leave your valuables. Loungers are well spaced out, plenty of shade for the dogs. We even managed to buy a ball for our dog there so he could chase a ball into the sea. Parking nearby (Margonara), we paid €6 for the whole day. We got the last spot when we arrived at 11.30am. Staff are friendly. Bar is well priced for drinks, €5 for glass of wine and €7 for an aperol spritz, €10 for a very strong a gin & tonic. We didn't eat there, as there are many options for restaurants along the sea front and nearby in town. Grass spots nearby if you leave the beach to let your dog do their business. We have been to Rintin Beach in Pietra Liguria and Zero Beach in Alassio and this is our favourite by far.

Great beach, lots of space for you AND your dog. There is a beach close for dogs!!! Very nice. Only 4 🌟 because parking is very bad. The usual "dealers" on the beach with cheap items to sell to enter the sea. A quick visit in the morning ok, a vacation not for me.

Absolutely wonderful for pet owners!!! Love the concept. Doggie beach were you are welcomed too!! You can pay by the hour or by the day. If you chose the day option you will be given two chairs and a doggie water bowl. At the entrance there are doggie treats, necklaces, water toys, and paw protection for your dogs. There's also a little place where they sell basic human food. When you are done, there's a designated area to remove the sand off your dog. My only criticism is NOT ABOUT THE PLACE BUT... some of the people. These are dogs people of you don't want a dog running near you, or barking... GET YOUR OWN BEACH. Dogs are there to have fun NOT TO SIT DOWN OBEDIENTLY ALL DAY. COME ON!!

Very nice beach with nice some nice amenities. However, way overpriced. We arrived after 1pm, we paid 120€ for four people and a dog, which included 2 chairs and 2 lounge chairs. We got a bowl for water for the dog. It annoyed me that paying such a price, for using it only half a day, there was lack of flexibility, or better said: 120€ is just starting price, everything else was for a extra cost!! if you wanted 4 lounge chairs, pay 20€ more, warm water for you or your dog extra cost. Btw, the showers for humans and toilets were not cleaned/maintained enough

Very difficult to find, lots of beaches with no signs, and occasional dogs that apparently were enjoying the beach even though it was not really allowed. When we finally found Bau Bau Village it turned out to have a fee of €40 for two adults with one dog. The beach was incredibly crowded on a Friday in July, and was very small. No particular amenities for dogs either. The dogs had a good swim, though, but not recommended.

Very kind people.Lovely and friendly. Even our dog who is not always easy with new environment, felt comfortable. Really good atmosphere. Nice sandy beach, not too much wave which is good for beginner-doggies :) The best. Don't waste your time bringing your dogs elsewhere. We've tried 4 beaches started from Alassio and Bau bau village was the best one of all (based on our dog happiness :))ps: worth the entrance fee

Magic beach atmosphere.. Top fresh fish to eat near pool ..very cool place

Nice

Good but expensive

Bella location

Nice

(Translated by Google) Just a perfect day. A good quality lunch and attentive service. The swimming pool is just fabulous! A little luxury for 8 but what a magnificent memory of this day. To do or redo (Original) Une journée juste parfaite. Un déjeuner de belle qualité et un service aux petits soins. La piscine est juste fabuleuse ! Un petit luxe à 8 mais quel magnifique souvenir de cette journée. À faire ou refaire

(Translated by Google) I've been frequenting this beach club for a few years, having discovered it by chance. Even though we have a house in Albisola Superiore, we happily walk all the way to the Mirage, which is the last equipped beach in Albisola Marina. I'm happy to give it 5 stars because the place is gorgeous, with top-notch pool services and amenities. We haven't been to the restaurant since we had a little girl, but the last time we tried it, it was truly exceptional. Cons? Prices are a little high, but in line with Liguria and the services they offer. The proximity to the dog club (adorable but not always quiet), and a few more smiles wouldn't hurt. However, it's truly unique, and I can't even imagine the commitment, effort, and dedication behind all this (they also host several events). Kudos to the fact that there's beach volleyball this year. Giovanni & Mila (Original) È da qualche anno che frequento questo lido scoperto per caso. Nonostante abbiamo la casa ad Albisola Superiore ci facciamo volentieri tutta la passeggiata per andare al Mirage che è l'ultima spiaggia attrezzata di Albissola Marina. Do volentieri 5 stelle perché il posto è stupendo, servizi piscina e attrezzature top. Da quando abbiamo la bimba piccola il ristorante non lo frequentiamo più ma l'ultima volta che l'abbiamo provato era davvero eccezionale. Difetti? Leggermente alto con i prezzi ma in linea con la Liguria e i servizi che offrono, vicinanza allo stabilimento dei cani (adorabili ma non sempre silenziosi) e qualche sorriso in più non guasterebbe. Però è una realtà davvero unica e non immagino neanche che impegno,fatica e dedizione ci sia dietro tutto questo (fanno anche parecchi eventi). La lode per il fatto che quest'anno ci sia il beach volley. Giovanni & Mila

Very nice, calm, and inspiring place to visit. Jorn build a nice and playful garden around the buildings on the hilside. In the office you'll find a load of books in different languages about Jorn, that you can read. The staff is very helpful and informative. The entrance fee is what you'd like to offer.

The staff are lovely and very helpful, it is very well kept and an amazing experience.

(Translated by Google) an immersive experience, far from traditional museums, which invites you to explore and be inspired. If you love unconventional art, this place is a pearl not to be missed. (Original) un’esperienza immersiva, lontana dai musei tradizionali, che invita a esplorare e lasciarsi ispirare. Se ami l’arte fuori dagli schemi, questo posto è una perla da non perdere.

(Translated by Google) An unexpected visit, contrasting with the disappointment of Albisola Marina. Very interesting and original. A guide has been prepared. Freewill offerings. (Original) Visita inaspettata in contrasto con la delusione per il paese di Albisola Marina.Molto interessante e originale. Preparata la guida. Offerta libera

(Translated by Google) Don't miss this place!!! If you're heading west...towards Savona...search it on Google and stop to visit this "gem"... (Original) Non perdetevi questo luogo!!! Se andate verso il ponente ...Verso Savona...cercate su Google e fermatevi a visitare questo "gioiello"...

(Translated by Google) Great visit!! As soon as we arrived a girl from the association gave us some information about Jorn. The entrance is free with an optional donation. To get there you have to want to walk taking via Bruciati and then continuing uphill with various steps that take you to the house. The guide also told us that there is also a shuttle but I don't know where to get it. Maybe there is more information on the website. The view from up there is wonderful and during the climb you can see those villas!! The peculiarity of this artist is in the recovery of ceramics to make new uses and therefore Le Albisole was the right place for his art!! (Original) Ottima visita!! Appena arrivati una ragazza dell’associazione ci ha dato un po’ di informazioni su Jorn. L’ingresso è gratuito con offerta facoltativa. Per arrivarci bisogna aver voglia di camminarci prendendo la via Bruciati e poi continuando in salita con vari scalette che ti portano fino alla casa. La guida ci ha anche detto che esiste anche una navetta però non so da dove si prende. Magari ci sono più informazioni sul sito. La vista da su è stupenda e durante la salita si possono vedere di quelle ville!! La particolarità di questo artista sta nel recupero di ceramiche per farci nuovi usi e quindi Le Albisole erano il posto giusto per la sua arte!!

(Translated by Google) Asger Jorn Dutch sculptor, painter, ceramist who has carved out an enchanting place for himself, for its panorama and tranquility. The house is simple but his works, scattered here and there, make it unique and each room has details to admire. I think it is useful to say that it has a small free parking lot at the end of the street (not signposted) see images. Also for the bathroom you have to ask for the key at reception. I have not seen wheelchair ramps, really a shame. Worth seeing. (Original) Asger Jorn scultore, pittore, ceramista olandese che si è ritagliato un posto incantevole, per panorama e tranquillità. La casa è semplice ma le sue opere, sparse qua e là, la rendono unica e ogni ambiente ha dei particolari da ammirare. Mi sembra utile dire che ha un piccolo parcheggio gratuito infondo alla via ( non segnalato) vedi immagini. Inoltre per il bagno si deve chiedere la chiave in reception. Non ho visto rampe per carrozzine davvero un peccato. Da vedere.

Old Catholic Church with satanic/masonic symbolism.

(Translated by Google) The church is very beautiful, cozy, old, and most importantly, there were no people, you can sit alone. It closes around 1:00 or 2:00 p.m., like everything else in Albisol, and that is its drawback. (Original) Церква дуже гарна, затишна, стара, що найважливіше, людей небуло, можна посидіти самому. Зачиняється близько 13.00 чи 14.00, як і все в Албісолі, і що є недоліком її.

(Translated by Google) Nostra Signora della Concordia, a beautiful 17th-century church, in typical Ligurian Baroque style. It overlooks a small and elegant square paved with black and white cobblestones. Truly very suggestive in the evening, when it is shrouded in silence. (Original) Nostra Signora della Concordia, bella chiesa seicentesca, in tipico barocco ligure. Si affaccia su una raccolta ed elegante piazzetta pavimentata con geometrie di acciottolato bianco nero. Davvero molto suggestiva alla sera, quando è avvolta nel silenzio.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church a stone's throw from the sea, in the heart of the small historic center, offers a break for the soul in its welcoming beauty. Of particular value is the statue of the Madonna in the apse basin, from the 17th century. (Original) Bella Chiesa a due passi dal mare, nel cuore del piccolo centro storico, offre una pausa per l'anima nella sua accogliente bellezza. Di particolare pregio la statua della Madonna nel catino absidale, del XVII secolo.

(Translated by Google) We were pleasantly surprised and happy to visit the MuDA in Albissola Marina, where the exhibition dedicated to Enrico Baj enchanted us. His ceramics, between myth and experimentation, transmit a unique energy. An engaging experience that we recommend to all lovers of art and creativity without borders. The courtesy and professionalism of the staff are the flagship of this exhibition center! Thank you with all my heart.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting museum and library, worth a visit for the works on display; the staff are sufficiently kind. (Original) Museo e Biblioteca molto interessanti,vale una visita per le opere esposte;personale sufficientemente gentile

(Translated by Google) I was in this museum during the Albissola Comics 2017 fair. Entrance was free. In addition to the ceramic works and volumes present in the library, it was possible to admire a fantastic exhibition of original tables created by Ivo Milazzo. The exhibition space is very large and the beauty of the works on display is indisputable. Advised. (Original) Sono stato in questo museo in occasione della fiera Albissola Comics 2017. L'ingresso era gratuito. Oltre alle opere in ceramica e ai volumi presenti nella biblioteca era possibile ammirare una fantastica mostra di tavole originali realizzate da Ivo Milazzo.

(Translated by Google) A museum in the library. Or vice versa. The MuDA Exhibition Center - Civic Library is both things, for those who are thirsty for culture, whether through the pages of a book or visiting the exhibitions that the center hosts, here they will find a good source to quench their thirst. I advise you not to miss the annual exhibition within the Albisola Comics event where the center hosts tables and artists of national and international level. (Original) Un museo in biblioteca. O viceversa. Il Centro Esposizioni MuDA - Biblioteca civica è entrambe le cose, per chi ha sete di cultura, che sia fra le pagine di un libro o nella visita delle mostre che il centro ospita, qui troverà un buona fonte a cui dissetarsi. Vi consiglio di non perdere l'annuale mostra all'interno della manifestazione Albisola Comics dove il centro ospita tavole e artisti di livello nazionale e internazionale.

(Translated by Google) This afternoon at 3:50 PM, finding it open, we went in at the invitation of a kind lady to see the works on display. We were immediately reprimanded by another lady, perhaps a boss, about the time. Obediently, we left and returned at 4 PM sharp. How sad to encounter such rude and bitter people. (Original) Oggi pomeriggio alle 15.50 trovando aperto e dietro invito di una gentile signora siamo entrati per vedere le opere esposte. Subito siamo stati redarguiti da un'altra signora, forse una capa, sul fatto dell'orario. Obbedienti siamo usciti e alle 16 in punto siamo rientrati. Che tristezza incontrare persone così maleducate e acide

The owner is very rude. They have a tiny “museum” and they charge 5 euro to see a few random ceramics important only for the store. It’s a scam. The rest is a regular ceramics store. Much better the quality and design of the neighbor store. And the service was a also much better.

(Translated by Google) I purchased one of their 3 liter pots yesterday, October 20th, which I tested today with a kilo of wild boar, cooked in a wood oven. For slow cooking, at gentle heat, their terracotta can't be beat!! Ps: for "larger" dinners, I already book the 5 liter piñata.. 10 and praise!! (Original) Ho acquistato ieri, 20 Ottobre, una loro pentola da 3 litri, che ho collaudato oggi con un chilo di cinghiale, cotto nel forno a legna. Per le cotture lente, al calor dolce, la loro terracotta non si batte!! Ps: per cene di "maggior spessore", prenoto già la pignatta da 5 litri.. 10 e lode!!
