The North West Italy / Italian Riviera/Liguria region
Liguria is all year round holiday region. In winter it is blessed with a temperate climate , even on Christmas day you can have your lunch outside, springtime starts in February with hills covered with blossoming mimosa. Summers are mildly warm. It was “discovered” by the English one century ago. Many people spend winters in this area to get away from the cold and freezing weather of the North. Due to the climate there are lots of lemon and orange trees and flowers grow everywhere. Along the seaside numerous little towns and villages attract in summer lots of guests as the beaches are never ending and sandy. Ideal for families with children. Exquisite cuisine and local wines make your stroll in town a tempting adventure. Savour the local cuisine: trenette al pesto” and “violino di capra”, a goat ham as soft as a violin. Loano, beautiful coloured houses; Borghetto once a small fishing harbour; Finale Ligure, a paradise for rock climbing; Ventimiglia Hanbury’s gardens; Genua, Nice, St. Tropez: a week is too short to savour the surroundings and if you are here in October-November visit Alba when truffles are harvested!

I am writing to thank you for the use of the beautiful house in Toirano. We had a wonderful holiday and loved the house and Toirano. In fact we have fallen in love with the house so much that we would like to stay again next year. Kind regards Michael.
We loved your accommodation it was so spacious and with three daughters having three bathrooms was a big plus. The garden and pool area was great and we had great views over the mountains and surrounding are. We loved Toriano and we would be keen to come back some time soon. Thanks for a great holiday.
