Area Collina

The area surrounding Villa il Poggio, located on the outskirts of Varazze, is a still-authentic corner of Liguria, where the sea and mountains converge to create stunningly beautiful landscapes. The villa is set in tranquility at an elevation of 400 meters in a rural setting where nature takes center stage and life moves at a slow pace, away from the hustle and bustle of the coast yet just a short distance from the beaches.

The proximity to the Beigua Regional Natural Park, recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark, enhances the experience with some of Italy’s most significant environmental and geological heritage. The park features numerous hiking and cycling trails, perfect for those who enjoy walking or exploring on a bike amidst cliffs overlooking the sea, ancient forests, clear streams, and villages where time seems to stand still. Local guides offer themed tours to discover the biodiversity, the history of the area, and the remnants of ancient civilizations that once inhabited these lands.

Varazze, only a 10-minute drive or a short ride on the complimentary shuttle provided by the facility, is a lively coastal town boasting a charming historic center, sandy beaches, coves, and cliffs. Its promenade is vibrant with cafes, artisan shops, and restaurants serving local cuisine, where visitors can savor the catch of the day and the aromas of Ligurian tradition. Nearby, there are also affiliated beach clubs and free beaches framed by maritime pines and Mediterranean scrub.

The region is also a strategic base for those wishing to explore the western Ligurian coast: in no time, one can reach Arenzano, Cogoleto, Celle Ligure, or venture inland to Sassello, a town renowned for its amaretti cookies and woodland walks. Genoa, with its historical heritage, the Old Port, and the Aquarium, is only 40 km away and easily accessible.

Here, the landscape changes with the seasons, and each time of year offers different emotions: from spring blooms to summer swims, autumn walks in the woods to the clear skies of winter. It’s a place that invites contemplation and discovery, capable of blending wellness, culture, and nature into a complete and rejuvenating travel experience.
