Between Camogli and Portofino, the Abbey of San Fruttuoso of Capodimonte is one of the most beautiful monuments on the Ligurian coast, hidden in a uncontaminated small inlet that can only be accessed on foot or by the small ferryboat that leaves the dock in front of our inn.

Near the abbey you will find an ancient church with the Doria Family Tomb. Andrea Doria’s family is the most important of Genoa, and they built the nearby defense tower that goes back to the 16th Century. In the waters in front of it the Christ of the Abyss rests, protector of divers and worshipped with a night mass on August 30. The Abbey of San Fruttuoso is property of FAI, (Fondo Ambiente Italiano - Italian Environment Fund) that is sponsored by I Tre Merli Inn.
