At the beach – Disciules Nord Italia

Arenzano , a city characterized by historic villas and parks overlooking the seafront or Varazze , whose sea has received the coveted recognition of the Blue Flag.

You will not find the classic views of the five lands but a flatter landscape and characterized by sandy beaches or pebbles. The true wonder of Liguria Riviera di Ponente are surely the villages of the hinterland that offer unique landscapes as much as those of the five lands.

But let’s go for a step

Surely among the most beautiful seaside towns we find Varigotti with a visit to the old city (we talked about it here)

Apart from the most famous (and inserted on the map) I will mention some of my favorite and little known places on the Riviera di Ponente in Liguria.

In nomination we see Cervo , a small village that I often visit when I’m nearby because in addition to having a beach not so popular has a beautiful inlet in the rock with lots of ladder to dive into the sea as in a pool.

In the picture we see the walk to get to what is the beach with the inlet in the rock on the sea. You can not see the scale because it is more moved to the right, but the location is this:

You will also find the Porteghetto restaurant or the very nice terrace .

We also find Bussana on the podium . Not only for the old part but also for the sea (the beach is sandy and has a very special inlet in the rock)

One of my favorite places (you eat well you spend little and there is a nice view) is what you can find on the seafront at the bottom of the promenade … called Gente di Mare

If you are looking for a place to relax by the pool, a bit of luxury but at a good price you can not miss the Orizzonte in Varazze which in the evening turns into a disco. Attention to the schedules because in the period of non-peak season does not open during the week and often only opens on Saturday evening.

Also in Varazze if you like the nightlife you can not miss the romanticism that arouses the new marina full of clubs and life.

Very impressive also from the architectural point of view, you can decide to have a drink in one of the pubs surrounded by greenery with sea view or a non-Japanese All you can eat at Mamasita for 19 euros!

The weekend arrives and you would like to get away from all the chaos of the city. You would like to take the first flight to a distant country, or even just for our Sicily. Today I propose you one of the most romantic towns of the west side of Liguria. If you are looking for charming villages on the sea of course the best choice is that of Liguria (and if I can suggest a village, in addition to the famous lands of 5, Tellaro advice ) but also in this side you can not miss, in addition to Varigotti, Borgio verezzi. Located a little further up the hill but very romantic and with a spectacular view.

But coming back to us. Varigotti is a fraction of the municipality of Finale Ligure in the province of Savona . It counts about 500 inhabitants. And I wonder every time I go where the heck they put the car as parking in Varigotti is impossible practice. The beauty is that if you do not find parking you can not even park it on the hill because there is no hill. You have to do km and miles of road without being able to go back, or get a nice ticket if you park along the road (before the tunnel)

But I do not want to be pessimistic for you. This time I managed to go there, and here it is, in winterbut more beautiful than ever.

A photo of the waterfront and one of the city. Does not it seem to be in Sicily?

Where to eat in varigotti?

Good question. They are not very visible at a glance and you must first inquire well not to take one. However there is a pretty good restaurant, expensive but I think one of the nicest in the area called Lilo .

Doing a search I also found this place called La Ruggia with beach + restaurant

Equipped beach, bar, restaurant, panoramic terrace, shower, services, public parking.

While spacecraft seems to be a great place to have an ice cream break or drink!
