LIGURIA, TRAVEL GUIDE
Your quick little guide to Liguria. Places to stay at, eat at and things to see.
3 hotels you don’t want to miss when going to Liguria
La Sosta di Ottone lll - A small hotel in Levanto with only six rooms all with a view to die for, hard to find but you will fall in love as soon as you enter the hotel.
Eight Hotel Paraggi - Close to Portofino in the most beautiful bay Paraggi you will find this hotel.
Hotel Windsor - You will find Hotel Windsor in the small village Laigueglia. 25 rooms, private beach, a restaurant and gym. All you need for your Ligurian vacation.
When visiting the small villages skip the car, mostly you are not even allowed to drive in the village anyway. Also it’s much easier to reach the village around the coast by train. Are you going up the mountains, then rent a car. And you want to explore all the small beach towns.
My favorite beach towns in Liguria
1. Moneglia
2. Rapallo
3. Sestri Levante
One thing you can’t miss is the focaccia Genovese, that is something else and the best lunch for no money that you can find. When you have tried the focaccia, then you can go for the restaurants.
My favorite restaurants
Il Ciocco - the best pizza in the whole Liguria I would say. A small family owned restaurants, try the very spicy pizza called “il ciocco” a pizza that is a taste explosion.
La Secca - OMG I’m obsessed with the pasta vongole here. Wow, I think about that pasta maybe once a week, I kid you not. We always go here for lunch in the summer.
Trattoria Ugo - If you are in Genova you need to eat here and try the Pasta Pesto.
I hope you will love Liguria as much as I do.
