Liguria and Piedmont

Arrive in Nice airport and take a private transfer to the town of Sanremo. From here you can spend the afternoon exploring the local town. We recommend visiting the Russian Church, Villa Nobel and after having dinner in one of the many restaurants in the town centre, you can end the evening visiting the Casino of Sanremo.

Spend the day exploring the surrounding area. The beautiful town of Alassio is an hour drive or easy rail journey away, or go west towards Monaco and Nice. Genoa is not too far away with just under two hour drive or rail journey. 

On your third day in Sanremo we recommend a relaxing day by the beach, in the evening take the "Empress walk" before enjoying your dinner in one of the many restaurants in the centre.

Time to leave the Ponente side of the Ligurian coast behind and travel to your next destination, Gavi, in the Region of Piedmont. Pick up your car hire from Genoa and head to the countryside and check in at your hotel. Take the rest of the day to relax by the pool and take a walk in the vineyards. 

Spend the day admiring the beautiful Piedmont countryside and its many "borghi". Take the car and visit the little towns like Alba, Bra, Neive, Gavi and many more. Piedmont has something to offer to everyone, a region with a long history, amazing food and famous for its wine, beautiful countryside views, great for cycling, trekking or just taking a stroll.

If you happen to find your self in the area between late September to January you must take part in one of the most famous events that the region has to offer, truffle hunting. 

On your last day in Piedmont you can relax by the pool, or book yourself a wine tasting experience which is a must in this area.

Leave Piedmont and make your way back to the region of Liguria to the town of Santa Margherita. Check in at your chosen hotel and spend the rest of the day exploring the town. In the evening dine at one of the many restaurants in Santa Margherita or take the train for a five minute journey to Camogli, a beautiful little town that lights up by night.

Spend a relaxed two days exploring everything the Levante Riviera has to offer. Make sure to try some of the traditional dishes like pasta al pesto and farinata, visit the iconic Portofino for a spot of lunch.

The next day, take the local train and explore the Cinque Terre which is easy to navigate or for more stunning views take one of the many local boat trips to the Cinque Terre and view them from the sea.

Return the car to Pisa airport for your return flight back to the UK.
