La Camogliese is by far my favorite restaurant in Liguria.

Bagni Lido lights up during sunset in the beautiful village Camogli.

Take the ferry from Camogli to San Fruttuoso, a secluded bay that is only reachable by boat.

The beautiful 10th-century Romanesque monastery that sits directly on the pebbly beach of San Fruttuoso is a must-visit.

Casa Pernice, located one hour from Camogli, is the loveliest small design hotel in the area (@casapernice).

Closer to Genova, the hotel Capitolo Riviera is a modern haven of luxury and wellness (@capitoloriviera).

Staying at Capitolo Riviera means free access to Bagni Medusa. Or rent a day bed by yourself (@bagnimedusaofficial).

The restaurant of Bagni Medusa, with an amazing view and delicious seafood on the menu, is even better (@bagnimedusaofficial).

Ending with a classic ristorante. Cucu in Camgoli is a traditional place that you want to come back to (@ristorantecucucamogli).
