City & Place Guide

Quiet Ligurian hilltop village above the Albenga plain

Villanova d'Albenga is a small municipality perched on the hills above the Ingauna plain in the province of Savona, western Liguria. It sits just a few kilometers from the coast and the larger town of Albenga, offering a peaceful rural atmosphere with olive groves, vineyards, and sweeping views toward the sea.

The village is perhaps best known for its proximity to Clemente Panero Airport, the regional airfield serving western Liguria, but the surrounding countryside rewards slow exploration on foot or by bicycle. The area produces quality Ligurian olive oil and local wines within the Riviera Ligure di Ponente DOC zone.

  • •Villanova d'Albenga historic center — compact medieval streets and stone architecture worth a quiet stroll
  • •Clemente Panero Airport viewpoint — small airfield with light aircraft activity, novel for aviation enthusiasts
  • •Surrounding olive groves — centuries-old trees producing prized Taggiasca olives across the hillside terraces
  • •Albenga (nearby) — Roman city with a stunning cathedral baptistery and well-preserved old town just minutes away
  • •Gallinara Island view — nature reserve island visible from the coastal ridge above the village
  • •Val Lerrone valley — scenic inland valley with traditional Ligurian hamlets ideal for short hikes

Getting around: Villanova d'Albenga is best reached by car via the A10 autostrada, exiting at Albenga. Local bus services run by Riviera Trasporti connect the village to Albenga and coastal towns on a limited schedule. There is no rail station in Villanova itself; the nearest train station is in Albenga on the Genova–Ventimiglia line. Taxis are available from Albenga, and rideshare options are limited, making a rental car the most practical choice for exploring the area.

Best time: Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September–October) offer mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and beautiful countryside scenery ideal for exploring the hills and coast.

Local food: Try freshly pressed Taggiasca olive oil, focaccia alla genovese, trofie al pesto, and locally produced Pigato or Vermentino white wines from the surrounding Ingauna plain estates.
