Description

Photo taken from a boat on the Italian Riviera of the Miramare Hotel in Santa Margherita, Ligure. It is a commune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Genoa in the Italian region Liguria, located about (22 mi southeast of Genoa, in the area traditionally known as Tigullio. It has a port, used for both tourism and fishing activities. Located in the Italian Riviera just past Rapallo and just before Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure is a little known hidden gem! It is an easy 45 minute ride from Genoa by car. The busy waterfront area has many beautiful hotels, nice restaurants (many with alfresco dining) and some high end shops. It is home to a small port with ferry service to Portofino and San Fruttuoso. It is also possible to charter a boat to Cinque Terre.. As you gaze out into the sea, you can watch sailboats and yachts, one bigger than the next, coming and going throughout the day. Santa Margherita is a great place to explore on its own or in conjunction with the neighboring towns!
