Italian Riviera

If you're searching for holidays to the Italian Riviera, Liguria is a spectacular location to head for. Liguria is a crescent-shaped region nestled between the sea and mountains and offers one of the steepest and most dramatic coastlines in Italy; the area is awash with colourful fishing villages, peaceful sea hamlets and quaint valleys full of character and history - and with the glitz and glamour of chic coastal towns Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure thrown in too, it has something for everyone.

We have a superb selection of accommodation types dotted across this Italian Riviera resort and the surrounding area - including Cinque Terre, Rapallo, Alassio, Finale Ligure or further - whether you're searching for a stylish apartment with sea views for two or something more central for the whole family.

While you're here, you must spend a day (or two) on one of the beautiful Liguria beaches - and since the Italian Riviera has over 200 miles of coastline, you shouldn't have any trouble finding one! A few of our favourites include Varigotti, Balzi Rossi, Bergeggi and The San Fruttuoso Bay, covering everything from paradise sands and crystalline waters to enchanting bays backed by grand architecture. When you're not lazing on the sands, wander the capital and largest city of Genoa (which is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus), where you can soak up sights and admire Art Nouveau buildings, historic abbeys and churches - sure to satisfy any history buff.

If you want to lap up the luxury while you're here, visit the famous fishing village of Portofino - a hot spot for a string of celebrity guests who could often be found drinking cocktails at the iconic Hotel Splendido. Or perhaps you'll prefer the laid-back seaside town of Portovenere, complete with a row of rainbow-coloured waterside houses, a small golden beach and a UNESCO World Heritage status? Wherever you go, our selection of Liguria villas are sure to welcome you home after a day of exploration.
