Along the Gulf of Tigullio and the neighbouring Golfo Paradiso, mountains descend towards the Mediterranean and colourful towns appear between sheltered bays, gardens and wooded promontories.
Portofino may be the most celebrated destination, but it is only one expression of this coastline. Santa Margherita Ligure and Rapallo belong to the varied landscape of the Tigullio, while Camogli and Recco introduce the maritime traditions and flavours of the Golfo Paradiso.
Rather than following a fixed itinerary, we design each experience according to the travellers’ starting point, interests and preferred pace. Guided exploration, time on the water, local flavours and moments of relaxation can all become part of the journey, without turning the day into a hurried collection of stops.
The coast can be experienced:
- As a private full-day shore excursion from La Spezia or Portofino.
- As a day trip from Genoa, with the possibility of stopping in Recco to taste its famous focaccia al formaggio before continuing towards Portofino.
- As part of a tailor-made, multi-day journey through Liguria, combining Genoa with the Gulf of Tigullio, the Golfo Paradiso and their distinctive coastal culture.
Private chauffeured transportation, licensed guides, boat experiences and selected local services can be arranged according to the season and the guests’ requirements. Exact timings, combinations and lesser-known experiences are developed privately during the travel-design process.
Portovenere, a Journey of Its Own
Portovenere belongs to a different part of the Ligurian coast and deserves to be experienced as the focus of a dedicated day. Its colourful harbour houses, narrow streets and dramatic Church of San Pietro create a landscape shaped by stone, wind and sea.
A private full-day experience allows travelers to discover Portovenere at a relaxed pace, with services and activities selected around their interests.
