About us
Hi there, and welcome!
We’re Ilaria and Matteo – two young, active adventurers, deeply in love with our land and passionate about nature and outdoor life.
Villa Essenza is our little dream come true: a B&B born from the idea of creating a different kind of tourism – active, sustainable, and full of passion.
We welcome travelers who love hiking or cycling, who want to connect with the land, explore its hidden corners, and discover the real Albenga – the one few truly know.
Here, you’ll find warm hospitality, cleanliness, and everything you need to live your adventure to the fullest.
Haven’t booked yet? What are you waiting for?
See you soon!

Our Rooms
The décor of our rooms is inspired by the Hygge style – a Nordic approach that favors natural materials and soft, light tones to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where you can truly feel at home.
Our Bike Room
The bicycle is the best way to travel slowly and savor every single moment, in harmony with the rhythm of nature. With it, you can explore the stunning landscapes of the Ligurian Riviera and its inland areas from a different, healthier, and more sustainable point of view.
Sport services
We truly believe that sport is the best way to connect with a place. It takes you off the beaten path, revealing breathtaking places and hidden gems that even locals often overlook.
