Liguria is a slender, crescent-shaped region of land between the Alps and Apennines to the north and the sparkling Ligurian Sea to the south. Often called the Italian Riviera, it is a place where pastel-coloured villages cling to sheer cliffs and the scent of salt air mingles with wild basil.

A glimpse into history



Liguria’s history is defined by its relationship with the sea.

The Maritime Republic



For centuries, Genoa was a global superpower, rivalling Venice in trade and naval power.

Terrace landscapes



Historically, the “Ligurian character” is marked by resilience; its inhabitants carved narrow terraces into steep hillsides to grow olives and grapes, creating the iconic landscape we see today in places like the Cinque Terre.

Description: The ultimate getaway



Imagine waking up in a luxury villa high above the Mediterranean. Liguria is the perfect destination for a refined holiday, offering a blend of rugged coastal beauty and exclusive glamour. Whether you’re looking for a secluded holiday home in the hills of Camogli or an elegant apartment in Portofino, the region specialises in privacy.

Many luxury properties have a private pool tucked away in olive groves, so you can swim while enjoying the view of the blue horizon. It’s a land of hidden coves, pebble beaches and narrow “caruggi” (alleys) leading to sun-drenched piazzas.

Typical foods: The taste of the sun



Ligurian cuisine is the “Cucina del Ritorno” (food on the way back), simple but incredibly aromatic.

Pesto alla Genovese The gold standard for sauces, made with DOP basil, pine nuts and pecorino

.Focaccia di Recco Unlike the airy bread, this is two paper-thin layers of dough filled with melted cheese

.Farinata A tasty, thin pancake made from chickpea flour and olive oil.

Pansotti Triangular pasta filled with wild herbs and served with a creamy walnut sauce.

Activities and nature



Liguria is a playground for those who love the outdoors but appreciate a slow pace.

Hiking the Blue Path: The paths connecting the five villages of Cinque Terre offer world-class views.

Sailing: Chartering a boat to see the “Golfo dei Poeti” (Gulf of Poets) offers a perspective you can’t get from the shore.

Whale Sanctuary: This stretch of sea is a protected area for dolphins and whales, making boat trips particularly magical.

Nature reserves: The Portofino promontory offers lush Mediterranean vegetation and hidden monasteries like San Fruttuoso, accessible only by foot or boat.
