The Moneglia Wake-Up Call: Why Breakfast Here is the Only Alarm You’ll Ever Need
Forget the standard hotel buffet—those bland, silver chafing dishes and uninspired pastries have no place in our world. At Villa Edera & La Torretta, we believe the first hour of your day sets the tone for everything that follows. In our corner of the Italian Riviera, that tone is distinctly slow, incredibly fresh and best enjoyed under the soft Ligurian sun.
Real Food, No Shortcuts
When we say "Garden-to-Plate" we aren’t just following a trend; we’re following our history. Since 1962, the Schiaffino-Sella family has treated the breakfast table as a stage for the very best of our land.
Every morning from 7:30 am, the spread is 100% homemade. There’s something properly soul-stirring about slicing into a loaf of Genoese focaccia that was in the oven just moments ago, or spreading local alpine butter and our own small-batch jams onto warm, crusty bread. The eggs? They aren’t mass-produced—they come from free-range hens, scrambled to perfection and served with a side of proper Italian bacon for those who want a cracking start to their day.
A View That Beats Any Screen
Breakfast is an alfresco affair, served exactly where you want to be: outdoors. You can choose a table with serene garden pool view, where the water reflects the morning sky or settle in with a view of our culinary garden.
Sitting among the olive and citrus trees, you can actually see the botanicals and herbs that our team will later use to craft your evening cocktails or mocktails at the Verbena Bar. It’s a bit of a full-circle moment—knowing that the lemon zest on your plate or the mint in your tea has travelled only a few metres from the soil to your table.
The Art of the Slow Morning
This isn’t a meal to be rushed before catching a train. It’s a time to linger over a second espresso or a fresh fruit shake while planning a hike through the "Hidden Liguria" trails.
Whether you’re tucking into a fresh ricotta cheese drizzled with organic honey or an avocado toast with smoked salmon and a perfectly poached egg, the goal is to feel completely restored before you even leave the grounds.
In a world that’s always in a hurry, we’ve made sure our breakfast is a reason to stop. No templates, no fuss—just the honest, vibrant flavours of Moneglia served in the fresh air.
Fancy swapping your usual morning alarm for the scent of fresh focaccia? We’ll have a table waiting for you in our garden.
