Italy : Liguria
Where sunlit coastal terraces, deep green valleys, and the first folds of the Italian Alps meet the Mediterranean.
Liguria’s western coastline stretches as a mosaic of terraced vineyards, pastel fishing towns, chestnut forests, and hidden coves carved between cliffs. Inland, ancient mule paths wind through quiet hamlets and ridge-top viewpoints where the Alps dive toward the sea. This is a softer, more local Riviera—one that blends Italy’s culinary richness with centuries-old stone villages, panoramic trails, and warm Ligurian character.
Whether crossing the border from Nice or exploring the Ponente from San Remo outward, each journey here unfolds through bays, olive groves, and landscapes shaped by sea winds and mountain light.

Every journey can be shaped to your preferences. Most guests begin with one of our curated itineraries — you choose the activity level, pace, and travel style, and we tailor the flow and highlights around your group.
If you prefer a fully custom-built trip (unique routing, structure, length, or combinations), this is possible through a separate design process and pricing structure. We will clarify all options before moving forward to ensure the trip matches your vision.
Either way, we work closely with you to create an experience that reflects exactly what you’re looking for.

Liguria blends dramatic coastal paths, ancient mule tracks, and mountain-edge trails where the Alps press close to the sea. Expect rolling ascents, stone steps, olive terraces, and panoramic ridges above the Mediterranean.
Transfers are generally short, though roads can become winding inland. We typically have one or two longer transfers during the trip—short ones around 30 minutes, and longer segments in the 60–90-minute range. These are used strategically to link the most beautiful sections and avoid coastal congestion.
-
Yes. Liguria itineraries are highly adaptable, offering options for relaxed coastal walks, cultural visits, beach time, shorter hikes, or more active inland adventures.
