The Cascina del Borgo is located in the area of Riccò del Golfo di Spezia, situated in a highly valued spot for those wishing to explore the most genuine Liguria, away from crowds yet close to its most famous destinations. Surrounded by forests, hills, and scenic trails, the area offers an ideal blend of nature, sea, history, and local traditions.
The region is crossed by numerous hiking paths winding through ancient dry stone walls, vineyards, olive groves, and wooded areas, providing stunning views of the valley and coastline. Enthusiasts of trekking and mountain biking can follow routes that connect the inland directly to the villages of the Cinque Terre and their historic sanctuaries, offering an immersive experience amid breathtaking landscapes.
Just a few kilometers away are charming medieval villages such as Castè, Quaratica, Carpena, and Ponzò, small treasures full of character where time seems to have stood still. Strolling through stone alleys, small squares, and ancient churches allows visitors to soak up the most authentic Ligurian atmosphere and discover a historical and cultural heritage often overlooked by mass tourism.
Its proximity to La Spezia makes it easy to reach the marina, seafront promenade, city museums, and the lively pedestrian area of the historic center. From here, rail and sea connections depart to the Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its colorful seaside villages, panoramic trails, and crystal-clear waters.
Within less than twenty minutes by car, one can also reach the splendid Gulf of Poets, known for renowned spots like Portovenere and Lerici. Portovenere captivates with its brightly colored houses overlooking the harbor, the Church of San Pietro perched dramatically on the sea, and the nearby islands of the Regional Natural Park. Lerici charms visitors with its elegant waterfront, the castle dominating the bay, and beaches alternating with picturesque coves.
Food lovers will have the chance to taste authentic flavors tied to Ligurian tradition, including focaccia, pesto, savory pies, seafood specialties, and local wines produced on the surrounding hills. Markets, festivals, and popular events enliven the area year-round, offering perfect opportunities to engage with the local culture and hospitality.
This part of Liguria is an excellent choice for those seeking a holiday combining relaxation, outdoor activities, excursions, the sea, and exploration of the territory, all with easy access to some of the most enchanting destinations of the Eastern Riviera while still enjoying the peace of the countryside.
