Ospedaletti borders the following municipalities: Bordighera, Sanremo, Seborga, and Vallebona.
Ospedaletti is named after a 14th-century hospital which was established by the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem.
Located between Caponero and Cape Sant'Ampelio, just six kilometers from Sanremo, it gets some north winds. It is about 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Imperia, the provincial capital. The lush, sub-tropical vegetation, combined with a moderate and refined urbanization, makes Ospedaletti the pearl of the Riviera dei Fiori (Coast of Flowers). The climate is usually mild.
