Various information
The area surrounding Agriturismo Giandriale is an authentic and surprisingly diverse corner of Liguria. We are located in Val di Vara, one of the greenest areas in the region, often referred to as "the valley of organic farming" due to its strong natural and sustainable agricultural practices. Here, the environment has remained unspoiled, featuring vast forests, open pastures, clear streams, and an extensive network of trails that connect medieval villages, scenic ridges, and ancient transit routes.
Just 22 kilometers away lies the sea at Sestri Levante, famous for its renowned Baia del Silenzio. In under an hour, one can explore the iconic destinations of the Cinque Terre, Portofino, Camogli, and the Gulf of Tigullio, all overlooking the azure waters of the Ligurian Sea. However, it is the inland that truly captivates, with its leisurely pace and rich cultural and natural heritage waiting to be discovered. A short distance from the agriturismo are Varese Ligure, notable for its unique circular urban layout, and the archaeological site of Valle Lagorara, abundant in prehistoric and mining artifacts.
Nature enthusiasts will find an extraordinary ecosystem, designated as a Site of Community Interest, where wildlife roams freely, and every walk becomes an opportunity to reconnect with the environment. Nearby, one can engage in activities such as trekking, mountain biking, rafting, and climbing, or simply enjoy a day at the outdoor pool in Tavarone or take part in horseback riding excursions organized by local farms.
This region strikes a perfect balance between sea and mountains, culture and nature, adventure and contemplation. It is ideal for those looking to step off the beaten path and be guided by the scents of the woods, authentic flavors, and the rejuvenating silence.
