I campi di lino, B&B in the greenery of Finale Ligure
I campi di lino is a bed and breakfast set in greenery above Finale Ligure, in Liguria, with rooms that have private bathrooms, a garden and free parking. Breakfast and the owner are the most praised things. I recommend it to guests who travel by car and want the sea nearby, knowing the motorway is a short distance away.

Where I campi di lino in Finale Ligure is
I campi di lino is a bed and breakfast in the San Lazzaro area, up in the greenery above Finale Ligure. Guests describe it as quiet yet a short distance from the beaches, and one review puts it a few minutes from the Finale Ligure motorway exit.
The older listing gives Baia dei Saraceni at 10 km, the Grotte di Toirano at 16 km and Marina di Alassio at 29 km, with Genoa airport about 59 km away. You need a car to get around from here, but the private, free car park takes care of that. The location also shows why it's convenient for anyone arriving from the motorway.
What the rooms and breakfast are like
The rooms have a private bathroom with a bidet, toiletries and a hairdryer, and there's free wifi and parking. Guests find them clean, comfortable and well looked after down to the details. A very comfortable bed and a large shower are the details one guest remembered, while in the same review the bathroom is described as small.
Breakfast is the real calling card. The listing describes a buffet with Italian options or full English and Irish ones, and reviews confirm a wide offer across sweet and savoury. It's served on the veranda, and the garden is there to relax in after a day out.
What guests say
On Google the property has 4.8 out of 5 from 52 reviews. The point that comes up most often is the owner, Romina, described as kind and happy to help with anything, offering tips on places to visit, walks and traditional restaurants.
- Breakfast. Generous and varied, with homemade cakes that some guests mention with real enthusiasm.
- Cleanliness and greenery. Very clean, quiet and surrounded by nature, as several people put it.
- Value for money. One guest judged it excellent, although that comment is a few years old.
- Animals. Several guests say they were welcomed with their dogs, even with four together.
What to know before you book
The main drawback is noise. The B&B is very close to the motorway toll booth, and while for many guests the motorway is neither seen nor really heard, another writes clearly that the traffic noise does come through. It depends how light a sleeper you are.
| Strength | Keep in mind |
|---|---|
| Generous breakfast, sweet and savoury | Ask in advance if you have intolerances or special needs |
| Near the toll booth, great for arriving | Some guests hear the traffic |
| Greenery, garden and free parking | You need a car for beaches and visits |
| Dogs welcomed kindly | Best to tell them how many before you arrive |
The bathroom, although complete and with a nice shower, is not large. If that matters to you, keep it in mind.
Who I'd recommend it for
I'd pick it for anyone arriving by car, for a weekend or a few nights, who wants a convenient base for the sea, walking and cycling trips. It suits couples and families, and anyone travelling with a dog, judging by what guests say. If you appreciate a good breakfast, you'll find plenty to be happy about here.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is a very light sleeper or wants the sea right outside. Here you're surrounded by greenery, with the beach a short trip away.
Things to see around Finale Ligure
The listing mentions Baia dei Saraceni, the Grotte di Toirano and Marina di Alassio, all reachable by car. For walks, restaurants and local spots, ask the owner, who according to guests gives precise advice.
If you want to compare other places in the area, have a look at Il Pozzo e il Melograno in Finale Ligure, AuStrAle Affittacamere in Albenga or Ca' de Bací Du Mattu in Mendatica. I don't have other details about them here, but each has its own page.
