The itineraries of the Ligurian Riviera
The Cinque Terre
A magnificent Park and Marine Area, with its breathtaking landscapes and wonderful walks in truly unspoilt nature, among terraces of vineyards and olive groves, a transparent sea rich in posidonia, dolphins and multi-coloured fish. How to get to the Cinque Terre? By train! Forget your car in our car park, get off at the station (5 minutes on foot), and take a very comfortable train that will allow you to visit the Park with ease.
The mountain of Portofino
Another park that deserves your attention. Not only the famous Portofino, with its splendid bay, boutiques and prestigious restaurants, the lighthouse promenade and colourful little houses, but also Santa Margherita Ligure with its nightclubs, the thousand-year-old Abbey of San Fruttuoso, a FAI jewel, reachable only by sea or by a winding path up the mountain, and Camogli, the marvellous seaside town with a long past as the home of sailing ships: so much magic enclosed in a mountain that juts out into the sea.
Sestri Levante
The nature trails offered by the rich landscape of Sestri Levante are numerous and of rare beauty. The promontories of Sant'Anna, Punta Manara and Punta Baffe allow for long walks immersed in nature, departing directly from our hotel.
Suggestions from our reception desk
To make your stay truly unforgettable, we have identified a series of one-day itineraries to discover the beauty of our region. For any information, timetable, suggestions, for the best bars overlooking the sea for aperitifs, for the most renowned restaurants, for sports experiences, for snorkelling at the nearby beach of Riva Trigoso ask at reception!
For those who wish, we will make lunch and dinner reservations at a selection of affiliated restaurants, selected from among the best in Sestri Levante. One of the most fashionable, and most enjoyable strands of food and wine is a visit to a vineyard or winery. We will provide you with a selected list of producers that will allow you to savour the authentic Liguria of vineyards overlooking the sea, local cheeses, and infusions: reception will be happy to help you organise your visit to the winery, and the logistics of getting there with ease.
You won't be able to say you've visited Liguria if you haven't tasted a really well-made pesto, or the best focaccia, a slice of warm farinata, or the best rum Camogliesi! Leave the more touristy and conventional routes, and take note of the addresses we will provide, to find yourself shopping where the Ligurians buy, and tasting real local produce.
