This charming small town sits on the coastline and is a lovely place to wander before we start our hike. This is a walk of two parts: the first three days take you through some of least visited parts of the Ligurian Coast, following well-marked mountain trails through unspoilt forests and staying in laidback coastal towns quite untouched by tourism. Breakfast is very good and various and the staff is welcoming and helpful. There are many elevation gains and losses which need to be taken into consideration. Without a doubt the best time to see the Liguria Coast is from April to June when the spring flowers are in bloom, the weather is just warm enough, and the temperature of the Mediterranean allows for the first dips of the season. Once you reach the village of Volastra, the route of your self guided walking in the Cinque terre will follow a gentle descent that will take you to Manarola, a charming village nestled between sea and rock and immersed in the thousand colors of its characteristic houses. Here the places not to be missed during your vacation. From this point you will continue towards Bonassola , through olive groves and lemon trees.

Accommodation Information Included in this trip are 7 nights in hand-selected, charming accommodations. Looking for a two week holiday?

The remaining nights will be free for you to eat as a group in a local restaurant or enjoy some time at leisure. Activity Multi Centre Walking.

  • The Palm Landscapes of the Italian Riviera Pietro Piana, Charles Watkins and Ross Balzaretti University of Nottingham
    The Palm Landscapes of the Italian Riviera Pietro Piana, Charles Watkins and Ross Balzaretti University of Nottingham Abstract Palm trees are today a characteristic feature of tropical tourist landscapes around the world from Caribbean to the Maldives. They are also a distinctive element of Mediterranean landscapes. On the Italian Riviera they are frequently found in the grounds of villas and hotels, at railway stations and in public squares. This paper examines the changing landscapes of the palm trees of the Italian Riviera over the last 300 years. Palms, particularly Phoenix dactylifera, were an important element of the local economy cultivated especially for palm fronds to be sold for religious festivals. The widespread presence of palm trees gave stretches of the Ligurian coast an almost tropical character, especially around Bordighera and San Remo. These coastal towns became major health resorts in the late nineteenth century and international tourists and residents celebrated this exotic landscape. The palms became important subjects for amateur and professional artists and photographers and they proliferated in gardens, as street trees and in horticultural collections. They became signature trees for these wealthy therapeutic landscapes but rapid building development and the decline of the palm trade means that only fragments of the old palm plantations remain today and these are in need of careful conservation. Keywords: Palm trees, Liguria, landscape, British travellers, Topographical Art Introduction Trees and vegetation have always had a major role in the characterization and visual perception of the landscape. Their distribution, density, shape and size reveals much about cultural and physical associations between people and the landscape (Watkins 2014).

  • The British Royal Family in Bordighera
    The British Royal Family in Bordighera The Earls of Strathmore, the future Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and the Duchess of Leeds By Gisella Merello, translated by Marcus Bicknell Claude Bowes-Lyon, a Scot and the 13 th Earl of Strathmore i, great grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II, lived from 1824 to 1904 (he died in Bordighera). Photo: Claude Bowes-Lyon, 13 th Count Strathmore In 1896 he bought an elegant villa with a large park on the Via Romana in Bordighera on the Italian Riviera. The house he bought from Raphael Bischoffsheim, a wealthy banker, was very special; it had been designed and built by Charles Garner, one of the most famous architects of the time. Having completed his most famous buildings, such as the Paris Opera, he settled in Bordighera. Here he built for himself the outstanding Villa Garnier, as well as the Villa Bischoffsheim, completed in 1878. Photo: The first Queen of Italy, Margherita di Savoia Bischoffsheim and his new villa were honoured within a year by a royal visit. The first Queen of Italy, the young Regina Margherita di Savoia, stayed there a month with her little son as the guest of Bischoffsheim to restore her confidence after the assassination attempt on her husband Umberto I. Photo: Lady Mildred Bowes-Lyon Jessup After acquiring the villa, the Earl of Strathmore immediately changed the name to Villa Etelinda. This was the name of an opera, a lyrical tragedy in three acts, by their daughter Mildred Marion Jessup (Lady Mildred Bowes-Lyon Jessup, 1868- 1897). The opera was surprisingly successful, especially as she was one of only very few female composers in the world.
