In this feature we will take you on a trip to Genova, the capital town on the Riviera connecting western and eastern Liguria. Genova’s roots go back thousands of years of colourful history. The town occupies a picturesque picture perfect location right on the Ligurian sea and has been for centuries one of the most important trading ports on the Mediterranean sea. Today’s Genova is a lively up and coming town with excellent restaurants, exciting shops, interesting cultural events and fascinating sights making it an attractive travel destination all year round.

Originating from Imperia Oneglia, the Valle Impero stretches some 30 km into the countryside. The valley was named after the wild river Impero, which has its source in the Monte Grande – with 1,418 m the highest peak of the region and running through the entire valley. This valley appeals to all senses with its variety of scented flowers, delicious mushrooms and untouched nature.

The valley of the wild water river Nervia is one of the most beautiful valleys along the Riviera di Ponente. The river Nervia originates in the rolling hills near Monte Petravecchia and meanders for some 28 km through the hinterland of Ventimiglia and Camporosso.

Here on the Riviera, the months of October, November and December are very special months. Most of the tourists have returned home and the region is much calmer with empty beaches inviting for long walks on the waterfront. The air is clear and the weather still beautiful and mild. Sea swimming in Liguria is often possible well into November and the colourful leaves are a joy to the eye whilst autumnal scents and tastes take the hearts of Riviera fans by storm.

During the summer months the days and nights may be warm but are never unbearably hot. The Ponente Coast (west of Genova to Ventimiglia) has been well known for its mild climate and beauty since the end of the 19th century but despite its popularity it never feels overrun. From mid July to the end of August the Riveria of Flowers with its many narrow beaches, the nearby Maritime Alps and its network of hiking paths of all levels and the historic villages and towns are keen to share their cultural heritage and events. In the following we would like to inspire you with a few suggestions.

With this newsletter, we would like to take you on a little tour through Ventimiglia – the last town on the Riviera of Flowers before the French border. Ventimiglia is situated right on the coast, west of Bordighera and Vallecrosia and has affiliated strong ties with this region over many years of eventful history.
The river Roia separates Ventimiglia’s old town “Alta” from the rest of the city. A number of bridges connect the various parts of town.
The urban flair of Ventimiglia with its 25,000 inhabitants reflects the two cultures and its proximity to the Côte d’Azur. Ventimiglia has so much more to offer than just the mild climate Liguria is known for.

Spring has sprung in Liguria and the mild temperatures invite to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. In this newsletter you will find plenty of inspiring suggestions to trigger your interest.

I very much hope you are in good health and will get safely through the dark winter months and unsettling Covid-19 times. Just like me, I am sure you are looking forward to the day we will be able to travel again. It seems there is light at the end of the tunnel and I am already looking forward to welcoming you back to Liguria.

Autumn is upon us and I hope you have managed to stay well and healthy over last few months. You may even wonder about news from autumnal Liguria.

Dear readers and Liguria enthusiasts,

it is summer and holiday time and we are happy that we can once again be there for you without restrictions with our office in Hamburg and in Dolceacqua, no matter whether you want to buy, rent or be advised.

Behind us lie extraordinary months that have confronted us with new personal, family and professional challenges. Like many of you, I am sure I have had more time for myself and my family, as well as the opportunity to explore my home country and discover new things. But the more time passed, the more I yearned for Liguria, with its pleasant climate, the beautiful landscape, the glittering Mediterranean, the beguiling scents of Mediterranean maquis, the delicious cuisine and, of course, the incomparable Italian lifestyle.

Liguria has always been popular not only with artists and writers, but also with many visitors who are planning their holidays here, a short visit or a lifelong stay. Sometimes different desires cannot be arranged and the result is a ‘patchwork decision’. Compromises and conflicts with your loved ones are not pre-programmed in our beautiful region – if you look for beach and regeneration, disco and new contacts, shopping or museum visits, chic or casual, dawdling and hanging around or physical activity – in Liguria all this can be reconciled. No other time zone but only a different climate without jetlag and you will enjoy everyday life, treat yourself good! Play with the children, visit a restaurant or go dancing, go on trips and excursions, you can photograph or film, sit by the fireplace and look into the fire, observe sunrise and sunset, stars and clouds, wade in the water, climb, cycle or motorbike and much more.

A warm welcome to our dear friends and readers,

We are delighted to have you with us and hope you will enjoy our second newsletter, filled with interesting facts and news on history, culture, art and nature.

Now that the year is drawing to its close, it is time to indulge in the joys of the season and share with friends and family.

You may well leave your winter coat behind and enjoy the mild temperatures, the colours of the Mediterranean Sea and the beauty of the mountains instead. The various local landscapes invite to be explored on foot or bike and are balm for the soul.

A warm welcome
