Villetta Marlon

Description from the manager

Above the coastal town of Diano Marina, in the San Pietro valley, just outside of the little Ligurian town of Moltedo, is Villetta Marlon. In the town itself you will discover an alimentari, a grocery store, and the restaurant “La Campagnola”. Here you can spoil yourself with typically enticing Ligurian cuisine. The lovingly furnished house has ample space for four people with its two bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen / living room. The large terrace is just perfect for relaxing and getting together in the evenings. It also offers a panoramic view of the picturesque bay and the attractive San Pietro valley.

This municipality is formed... of two towns on the sunny slopes of the San Pietro Valley. Dominating the lower town is the parish church, one of the most important in the area (the christening font dates from the eleventh century). All that is left of the original late mediaeval building is the bell tower. It is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul and was reconstructed in Baroque style in the second half of the eighteenth century. The parvis is paved with pebbles and it was surrounded by a wall in 1564 as a defence against Saracen invasions. The interior preserves a painting of the martyrdom of San Giovanni Battista attributed to Giovanni Battista Paggi and a fine seventeenth-century marble pulpit.

Just outside the town, when you have crossed the bridge over the Rio San Pietro, you will come to the district of Colla, where you can admire the recently-restored sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve. In the church of the Natività di Maria in Borganzo, you can see a fine poliptych by Antonio Brea: the Madonna della Consolazione (1518). There is a very old humpback bridge over the San Pietro at Roncagli. At one time, the valley was full of mills producing Taggia olive oil. Besides olive-oil production, the local economy is based on the cultivation of vegetables, fruit and basil, which is the main ingredient of the typical local liqueur. Among the many local summer festivals, the most famous is the one dedicated to a pasta dish called "trenette al pesto", which is accompanied by a classic Ligurian wine called Pigato.Read more
