The territory
The Golfo Paradiso and the Gulf of Tigullio are two enchanting stretches of the Ligurian coast, famous for their crystal-clear waters, small yet charming beaches, picturesque coastal villages, and the richness of their history and culture.
The Golfo Paradiso extends to the west of the Portofino promontory and includes the municipalities of Camogli, Recco, Sori, Pieve Ligure, and Bogliasco; small coastal villages, each with its own characteristics, but all united by the ability to offer an authentic maritime life experience and more.
Camogli, characterized by colorful houses, a lively harbor, and a long pebble beach, is an ideal place to immerse oneself in the local maritime culture.
Recco, famous for its cheese focaccia, an unmissable culinary delight, is the preferred destination for food lovers.
Sori, in addition to its welcoming historic center and beautiful beach, combines a hinterland rich in small and unmissable hamlets.
Pieve Ligure and Bogliasco are two charming localities, a stone's throw away from each other, characterized by beautiful villas that stretch along the hillside.
The hilly villages of Avegno and Uscio, located in the valley that leads to Recco, are also part of Golfo Paradiso. Of particular interest is the municipality of Uscio, which offers various hiking opportunities and serves as a crossroads between the sea and the hinterland, particularly with the Val Fontanabuona.
