Our Cascina is located about one hour's drive from the Mediterranean. You can take either day-trips to the Liguran coast, or plan an extra stay for swimming and sunbathing. From our own visits there we can certainly recommend Sestri Levante, which next to the main, classical beach ´bagni´ (see illustration) offers a less frequented and more 'Italian' beach, the "Baia di Silencio". A picturesque bay, known and favoured already in Roman times. There is also a beautiful historic center, streetside cafés and restaurants, with shopping opportunities ranging from Italian fashion to delicatessen.
Back in the direction of Genoa - not far from Portofino, lies Santa Margherita Ligure, another very attractive seaside resort on the Italian Riviera. We have a special recommendation there for accommodation, similar in style to our place, in the midst of olive trees. We will be happy to provide you with more information on request.
To make your trip complete, we recommend that you visit Cinque Terre, best equipped with comfortable walking shoes. Five villages, seemingly "thrown" on the coast and linked by well developed walking trails, invite you to a worthwhile hike.
"I can fully guarantee that from each visit to Italy, you bring back an immeasurable capital that carries visible interest. You gain a freshness and freedom there and at the same time an inner possession of joy and beauty, that is worth everything else." (Hermann Hesse 26.2.1904)
Buon viaggio!
