Location

Sestri Levante is a small village situated on the Mediterranean Sea approximately 60 miles south of Genova. While Portofino and the Cinque Terre are likely much better known tourist destinations, this once quiet fishing hamlet nestled between the Baia delle Favole (Bay of Fables) and the Baia del Silenzio (Bay of Silence) certainly has no less to offer than its more famous neighbors and can rightly take its place among the jewels of the Italian Riviera

The Venue

Completed in 1496 by the Dominican Order, the former Convento dell’Annunziata overlooks the Baia del Silenzio from its privileged position on the farthest tip of the Sestri Levante peninsula. Now home to the conference facilities of the Fondazione Mediaterraneo, the Convent boasts of nearly 900 m2 of meeting room space - including nearly 1000 m2 of external terraces and courtyards - and can host meetings and gatherings for up to 800 guests.
