Zoagli is a quiet coastal town in Liguria situated between Rapallo and Chiavari.

What makes this small village distinctive is the remarkable seafront promenade nestled among the rocks, particularly striking in the evening and during rough seas. Along it stand two towers built around 1500 to defend the settlement from Saracen pirate raids. Castello Canevaro, to the west, is now privately owned and hosts weddings, concerts and conferences, while the Torre Saracena di Levante belongs to the municipality, which uses it for exhibitions, cultural events and civil ceremonies.

To reach the beaches—some small rocky coves and others equipped beach clubs with full facilities—you cross a pedestrian square surrounded by the colourful houses typical of Liguria, with outdoor seating for bars and restaurants, often animated by a central fountain.
Zoagli also offers pleasant walks along the local paths that cross cultivated terraces and woodland, leading to small hamlets on the hillsides, such as Semorile, San Pietro di Rovereto and Sant'Ambrogio, offering postcard-worthy views..

Yet Zoagli's name is chiefly associated with silk. More than a century ago, the artisanal silk velvet industry that became renowned worldwide was born here, and today it remains possible to purchase high-quality fabrics for clothing and furnishings.

The quiet Ligurian village can be reached by train or car, exiting at the Rapallo or Chiavari motorway junctions.
