Golfo Paradiso – Liguria: villages suspended over the sea, green cliffs and stone streets between sky and water. The Golfo Paradiso is located between Genoa and the promontory of Portofino, overlooking one of the most harmonious and discreet stretches of the Ligurian coast. It brings together small seaside villages such as Bogliasco, Pieve Ligure, Sori, Recco and Camogli, nestled between the sea, terraced hills and rocky walls. It is an authentic and intimate landscape, where the Mediterranean shows itself in its most sincere and luminous version. 🌊 Sheer cliffs and marine transparencies: The coast is jagged, with flat rocks, hidden coves and clear waters that reflect the green of the vegetation. The sea here is deep and silent, perfect for swimming, snorkeling or simply stopping in the shade of a pine tree overlooking the rocks. 👉 Tip: Reach the hidden beach between Pieve Ligure and Sori early in the morning: the sea is calm and the grazing light lights up the shades of the stone and the sea. 🏘️ Seaside villages and uphill roads: Each village of the Golfo Paradiso retains its historic stone center, its creuze that rise between the dry stone walls and its squares where the dialect is still spoken. Camogli fascinates with its long row of colorful houses overlooking the port, Recco is famous for its focaccia and popular festivals, while Sori and Bogliasco offer the truest Liguria, without filters. 👉 Tip: Walk the stretch from Bogliasco to Sori along the ancient mule track at high altitude: a path through vegetable gardens, olive groves and the open sea. 🌿 Mediterranean nature and ancient paths: The hills of the gulf are furrowed by historic paths that connect villages and sanctuaries. The vegetation is that of the Mediterranean scrub: olive trees, broom, rosemary, maritime pines. The routes offer glimpses of the sea, intense scents and a sense of balance between land and water. 👉 Tip: Walk up from Recco to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Suffrage: from up there you can dominate the entire gulf, up to Genoa on one side and Portofino on the other. 🍋 Simple flavours and cuisine linked to the territory: Here you can eat freshly baked focaccia di Recco, enjoy stuffed anchovies and vegetable pies made with local ingredients. Oily fish, wild herbs, extra virgin olive oil and wines from the hills complete a familiar and genuine cuisine. 👉 Tip: Order a slice of Recco PDO focaccia fresh from the oven and enjoy it on the wall of the seafront, with the sea in front of you and the scent of the focaccia still warm. 🚶 ♀️ Slow experiences between sea and hills: The Golfo Paradiso is a place to be crossed on foot, at a slow pace, along uphill paths, stone promenades and ancient creuzes. It is perfect for those looking for authentic landscapes, silent encounters and a gaze on the sea that changes light and color at every hour. 👉 Tip: Walk at sunset from Camogli towards San Rocco: the profile of the houses on the sea and the view of the cliffs of the Portofino Promontory will accompany you with a warm and reassuring light. Golfo Paradiso is an intimate and lively Liguria, made of stone, sea and memory. A place where the landscape does not show itself, but allows itself to be encountered in small steps, between climbs, scents and silences.
