Sestri Levante is one of the most beautiful resorts on the Ligurian coast. The town is situated on a unique headland between two bays—the romantic Baia del Silenzio (Bay of Silence) and the livelier Baia delle Favole (Bay of Fairy Tales). Visitors are drawn to the historic center with its colorful houses, the pleasant atmosphere, the beautiful beaches, and the stunning views from Punta Manara. Thanks to its location, Sestri Levante is the ideal place for a peaceful seaside vacation as well as day trips to the Cinque Terre, Portofino, or other parts of Liguria. It is a destination that has retained its authentic Italian character and is one of the greatest hidden gems of northwestern Italy.

A bike path overlooking the sea in Liguria
Imagine a bike path nearly thirty kilometers long, just a few meters from the sea. On one side, you’re flanked by beaches and the turquoise waters of the Ligurian Sea; on the other, Mediterranean vegetation, palm trees, and picturesque seaside towns.
Sciacchetrà - wine from the terraces of Cinque Terre
At first glance unobtrusive, at first taste unforgettable. Sciacchetrà is one of Italy's rarest wines, produced on the terraces of the Cinque Terre region. Each drop carries with it extreme conditions, handcrafted and a tradition hundreds of years old.
The vineyards of the Cinque Terre are no romantic plains.
