Albenga Villanova d'Albenga Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Albenga-Villanova airport, the "Clemente Panero", mainly serves private and charter flights: there's no scheduled bus to the terminal, so a car or taxi is needed in any case. Those arriving on business or with a private plane find it convenient to stay in Villanova d'Albenga, the village where the runway is located, right next to the runway itself. Those who instead combine the stopover with a few days on the Riviera can choose Albenga, with its medieval historic centre and the railway station for Alassio and Finale Ligure, about 7 km and 10 minutes by car from the terminal.
