Luxury Hotels in The Italian Riviera
The Italian Riviera - or Liguria - runs around the coast of the Gulf of Genoa and is probably most famous for the charming port town of Portofino and rich basil pesto. A visitor would be foolish, though, to miss out on the many wonders of this coastal region.
This narrow strip of coastline begins at the French border and many of its harbour towns bear a striking resemblance to its neighbours of Cannes and Monte Carlo.
Elegant villas, in shades of terracotta ranging from blush to deep brick red, are scattered through the steep cliffsides and merge into the tall townhouses, bars and restaurants which edge the glistening yacht-filled harbours.
Breathtaking views are to be found from the lush green hilltops onto a jumble of red roof tiles, rocky coasts and endless blue sea. Hire a car for the best possible experience.
Gourmets will enjoy delicate olive oils, the local trofie pasta with rich pesto sauce, a flaky flatbread smothered in herbs, lemony desserts, and Nocino, a walnut liqueur.
