Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Embark on a picturesque journey from Finalborgo to the tranquil village of Perti, where the abandoned Castel Gavone stands as a testament to its rich history. Once serving as the grand headquarters of Marquis Del Carretto, this ancient landmark offers a captivating glimpse into the past. As you make your way through narrow cobbled streets and charming squares, be sure to explore other points of interest such as the convent complex of Santa Caterina and Castel San Giovanni.
Unfortunately it’s closed but it’s worth the hike up to see the old road that winds past it and to a small cluster of homes, restaurant and church.
Amy B — Google review
They wrote, the Castle is open every Day, but…Currently closed and no Information, when does the Castle open again😟
But the view up there is marvelous…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This place is closed.
But good hike..
If you can hike up 30 minutes. You can do this.
As every one said the castle is closed. But it has summer gude tours at night. I am looking forward for August 17th night tour. And up date my experience again.
The view and the great near by restaurant ( at night, don't miss this specialty dishes! ) it self was worth the trip. Italian does not put up ads at all. As if they try not to create too many visitors for the peaceful life styles. I do not blame them. I too, prefer not need reservation for food. :)
Everything around this castle is magic! Must go
The construction is exactly what you see on the photo, nothing more and is fully closed off by a gate. It was impossible to enter. The hike up was nice, but the castle itself was a disappointment.
The castle itself was closed but the walk, checking out the nearby cave and the overall view and scenery is worth the journey and view.
Great experience! Visit in summer by night or during the day on special Sundays over the year. Have just done the visit by night. Pure magic packed with interesting historical anecdotes. A must!

Archaeological museum
Museum
The Archaeological Museum of Finale, located in the heart of Finalborgo, offers a fascinating journey through the ancient history of the region. Housed in a 14th-century convent with a bell tower, this museum showcases prehistoric tools and artifacts dating back to 181 BC. Visitors can explore archaeological finds that tell the story of the area from 350,000 years ago. The exhibits include ancient civilization artifacts, bones, and medieval appliances. Touch screens provide detailed information about the displays.
Great place to become acquainted with the area’s history. Entry fee was 5 euros for adults and 3 euros for students which wasn’t too bad. The museum had a great audiotour, which was available in several different languages. The whole tour around the museum took us about 45 minutes. Not many other visitors so it was easy to move and see everything from close.
Oskari M — Google review
Great museum focused on liguria’history, including prehistory. Too bad that there is not enough of modern times, this would be very interesting especially as it is located in a beautiful medieval town. English french and german translations offered via scanning qr code
A well-organized museum, local in space, broad in time. The text is only in Italian, but the audioguide is very detailed, covers the whole exhibition ste-by step, and in several languages. It is also in a charming part of Finale Ligure.
A little joy in the middle age burg of Finalborgo. From Prehistory to Roman culture. Very nice and indispensable if you need to know better the countryside of this beautiful region
Worth it if you are interested in archeological history and chronological analysis of its evolution from ancient times to present
Very nicely organised museum with a lot of interesting material.
A beautiful place so glad we visited
Not good if you don’t speak Italian
Chiostri di Santa Caterina, 17024 Finale Ligure SV, Italy•
Perti is a charming hilltop village offering enchanting panoramic views of the Gulf. Visitors can explore the picturesque surroundings and admire the small church with five bell towers. The Osteria of Castel Govone provides a warm and rustic dining experience, serving the best Ligurian specialties. Perti Alta is a hidden gem, where every corner tells a story, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers with its diverse flora, captivating aromas, and breathtaking vistas.
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful village, you can breathe the old Liguria
The church with the 5 bell towers is a little gem. Even the parish church must be very beautiful internally but closed... the castle is an unknown, the only identified access is barred, we were not even able to see the outside
(Original)
Borgo molto bello, si respira la vecchia Liguria
La chiesa con i 5 campanili è un gioiellino. Anche la parrocchiale deve essere molto bella internamente ma chiusa ... il castello è una incognita unico accesso individuato sbarrato non siamo riusciti a vedere neppure l'esterno
Laura I — Google review
(Translated by Google) Nice panoramic, picturesque place.
Also worth seeing is the small church with 5 bell towers a little further on.
The restaurant has a really good dinner.
Be careful to park your car only beyond the white line: the fines given to tourists by the final police force are pouring in. . . One evening I counted 15 out of about thirty cars.
(Original)
Bel Posto panoramico, pittoresco.
Da vedere anche la chiesetta con 5 campanili poco più avanti.
Al ristorante si cena davvero bene.
Attenzione a parcheggiare l'auto solo oltre la linea bianca: fioccano le multe donate ai turisti da parte dei vigili di finale. . . Una sera ne ho contate 15 su una trentina di auto.
(Translated by Google) Perti Alta is not just a place to visit. It's a small wedding favor in which every corner tells something. For those who love nature it offers an infinite number of ideas: plants, aromas, trees of all kinds as well as a fabulous panoramic view. For those who love history it offers: a pre-Romanesque church, a castle (Gavone) symbol of Finale Ligure, the eighteenth-century parish church of Sant'Eusebio with an octagonal shape and the church of the Cinque Campanili built in the early 1500s. And much more. For those who love food: two restaurants that will amaze you with their genuine, typical and excellent cuisine. And if you want to walk a bit, from Perti there are paths for other "adventures" that you can only find in the Finale area!
(Original)
Perti alta non è solo un luogo da visitare. È una piccola bomboniera in cui ogni angolo racconta qualcosa. A chi ama la natura offre un infinità di spunti: piante, aromi, alberi di ogni tipo oltre.ad una vista panoramica favolosa. A chi ama la storia propone: una chiesa preromanica, un castello (Gavone) simbolo di Finale Ligure, la settecentesca parrocchiale di Sant'Eusebio a forma ottagonale e la chiesa dei Cinque Campanili costruita ai primi del 1500. E molto tro ancora. Per chi ama il cibo: due ristoranti che stupiranno per la loro cucina genuina, tipica, ed ottima. E se volete camminare un po' da Perti partono mai sentieri per altre "avventure" che solo nel finalese potete trovare!
(Translated by Google) You can enjoy a beautiful view of Finalborgo and Finalmarina. There are also two restaurants in the area and various paths (via del purchin, rocca di Perti, Grotta della Pollera, Pian Marino) the road is currently blocked immediately after the church due to a municipal ordinance (since there are few parking spaces in the area) you can reach Cianassi in about 25/30 minutes on foot
(Original)
Si gode di una bellissima vista su Finalborgo e Finalmarina. Ci sono anche due ristoranti in zona e svariati sentieri (via del purchin, rocca di Perti, grotta della Pollera, pian Marino) la strada al momento è interrotta subito dopo la chiesa per un'ordinanza comunale (poiché ci sono pochi parcheggi in zona) si può giungere ai cianassi in circa 25/30 Min a piedi
(Translated by Google) Well, nice, but nothing special!

Italian restaurant
Bar
Il Cappero Ristorante is a popular dining spot in Borgio Verezzi SV, Italy. It offers a wide range of cocktails and boasts an amazing view of the Ligurian coast, making it the perfect place for an aperitivo. While some visitors have praised the beautiful setting and professional staff, others have expressed disappointment with the lackluster menu options and underwhelming dishes.
Hands down one of the most beautiful (and delicious) restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food is fresh and simple yet elegant at the same time. The view and the interior of the restaurant itself is rustic and breathtaking. Each room is decorated slightly differently so each time you go it’s like a new experience. It’s lovely to walk around outside the restaurant before or after your meal. You’ll be immersed in hundreds of years of history. The service is friendly and attentive but not overbearing. 11/10 recommend!
Christine P — Google review
Really nice experience, it has like the best view of the area, is amazing on the bay of Borgio-Verezzi, just didn’t like so much that you had to take at least two dishes, for me doesn’t make any sense
Food was good. Slightly small portions compared to prices... it’s a restaurant with a view and not a Michelin restaurant. Give them some credit for the fact that we didn’t have a reservation in advance and they managed to scoop us in :)
Nice place to eat and drink (attached bar around the corner with even better view)
Authentic hidden gem in Borgio Verezzi. Proper local food. The drill is to go for happy hour on the terrace and later dinner. Trofie with pesto are 🚀
With no doubt the greatest value of this restaurant is the panorama. Great view. The waitress was not a nice person (seemed to be in bad humor). The food and dessert was good.
Want to impress your girlfriend / wife with some fancy good food and a nice view? Thats your place. Food is good but be prepared to spend about 100€+ and feast mainly on the foccacia they serve aside. They serve 2 or 3 plates but no matter what you order they dont make it a first and main dish - they are equaly sized. There is definitely better places around to get some nice Italian dinner.
Amazing view and a very wide range of cocktails available. The ideal place to have an aperitivo overlooking the ligurian coast.
Really good good no fantastic service. We have really enjoyed this restaurant.. romantic with a fantastic view, and the service was handled to perfection..

Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Grotte di Borgio Verezzi is a 5-kilometre system of underground caves and lakes, featuring colorful mineral deposits. The Cave di Verezzi crag offers 23 climbing routes of varying difficulty, while a running park caters to enthusiasts. Guided tours are necessary for access, with a break in service from 11:30 to 15:00. Visitors have praised the scenic beauty and informative guides, although some have noted language barriers during tours.
One of the most beautiful natural wonders by the sea. Amazing, knowledgeable guided experience in 2 languages, English and Italian. The story of the cave discovery and research is interesting and nice. I would come back any time - great enriching senses experience.
Back K — Google review
A wonderful cave full of surprises.
The tour was in italien language and we were onky max 10 people.
We had a very knowledgeable tour guide, she could answer all our questions 🙂 it was a fab experience and three cave is wonderful. You can buy tickets at the ticket office, though be mindful that the number of people can be limited to protect the cave.
Picturesque cave with several ~40 minute guided tours per day. In summer it's a good way to cool down (air temperature inside is around +16°C). Highly recommended, if you're in the area.
We arrived early by taxi, due to the heat. We sat under a welcome covered area before buying our tickets when the office opened after lunch at 14.45. The team of 3 were helpful, knowledgeable and the tour was brilliant. In Italian and English. Going from 32 degrees to 16 for the 45 minute tour was amazing and a very special experience. A lovely little gift shop added to the experience. With thanks for helping arrange a taxi back too. A great trip and great value for money. Thank you.
It's 100% worth seeing this natural beauty right inside the rock. To access the cave, there's a need to book a guided tour. There are plenty of tourists there, so you'll not be alone. One thing to consider is that during 11:30 - 15:00, there is no service there. If you come later than 11:30, you'll have to wait till 15:00 for the next tour. So plan your time with this in mind. It's also challenging to find any restaurants or things to do around to wait so much time in comfortable relaxing conditions, as most of the places in this area are closed during the same time. The caves are great and fascinating! It was cold inside (16 degrees Celcius), but it was OK for many people to be just in a T-shirt. Some worm cloth would add extra comfort.
The geology of the area of my home town was complex and interesting, so I studied Geology as a subsidiary subject in my first year at university. I've visited limestone caves in the UK and even the Grotte de l’Observatoire in Monaco, a little further west along the coast, but the grotte di Borgio Verezzi easily beats them all.
It's a surprisingly understated attraction considering the spectacular formations hidden underground, but once at the caves our guide and the other staff were all very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We were part of a tour group of around 15 people and a detailed summary of each section of the caves was provided in perfect English, enhancing the 'Wow!' factor.
It's extraordinary and fascinating what water, minerals, chemical reactions and millions of years can do - and at Borgio Verezzi they've produced the most colourful caves in Italy.
Fascinating walk through the caves. Refreshing to see caves lit properly, not using stupid colours. The beauty was more evident. Very interesting information from the tour guide.

Nestled in the heart of Finale Ligure, Spaghetteria Del Vicolo is a charming eatery that truly embodies the spirit of local dining. From the moment you step inside, it’s clear that this restaurant is a labor of love, with attentive staff who greet you like family. Diners rave about their delightful experiences here, often returning for more.
The homemade pasta is not to be missed. Highly highly recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant. We came several times, and it was consistently good.
The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
We tried the Trofie al Pesto, Fritto Misto (fried seafood), grilled Branzino, and Acciughe Impanate — everything was fresh and delicious. And we especially loved their Patatine Fritte (fried potatoes).
Thank you for the warm hospitality!
Super fast, nice staff and the ravioli with branzino and shrimp sauce is to die for.
Our dinner Today was more than delicious.Sad we didn't came here before. So friendly and attentive service. Fish and pasta and dessert 😋. Pity we have to live tomorrow.
Grilled tuna and Sea bas were very delicios and nutritional. Restaurant is minimalistic, but enough to be one of my favorurites in the Finale Ligure.
Bread could be more fresh.
Lovely lunch outside. Good pasta. Good fish. Thanks!
Do not recommend. Average service and average food for the price. The lobster tagliatelle had very little lobster and no tools were served with the lobster. The large bottled water was just tap water in an unsealed and unsanitary bottle - do not pay for this. Tourist trap.
Fantastic little restaurant where you can see that the locals really care. When we were looking for a dinner in Finale, we've found this place, the great reviews, the fact that it was open half an hour earlier than others and the fact that probably the owner stood there and waited for guests made us choose this one for our feast. And what a feast it was! Everything we've ordered was delicious, even my girlfriend who doesn't like sea food, couldnt get enough of the sepia gnocchi! Easily one of the best dinners I've ever had for a good price.

Bar Centrale is a delightful gem that truly stands out for its exceptional ice cream and welcoming atmosphere. Visitors rave about the gelato, with flavors like pistachio and dark chocolate earning high praise. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ready to guide you through their delicious offerings. Whether you're stopping by for a refreshing gelato after a day of exploring or enjoying a pre-ride snack of croissant and cappuccino, Bar Centrale provides an inviting space to relax.
Amazing gelato, we were coming here almost every day during our vacation. 5EUR for big cone and multiple kinds of flavor. Pistachio gelato was perfect and had it every time.

Amazing place. Super clean and with professional staff that make you feel welcome. I had a Maroccino, which looked and tasted great. Shame I did not snap a pic. The only thing that needs changing is to take down this horrible coffee menu off your coffee machine. You have a good-looking machine, but you spoil it with an ugly menu.
We had gelatos, coffee and cold drinks. Prices were normal for this area and everything tasted great! Service at the gelato bar very good.
Excellent ice cream! Really, really top taste. Dark chocolate and amarena were our favorites.
Perfect pre ride snack, croissant with chocolate and a cappuccino. Great location.
Ice cream is absolutely fantastic! The best in the area. Will definitely come back for more 👍🏻
Without exaggeration the best ice cream I had in my 40 year old life!
Chill place for apertivo. Great people bird dog watching. Also gelato

Bagni Vittoria Beach is a fantastic destination offering a memorable experience. The beach club provides exceptional service and amenities, including sunbeds, umbrellas, SUP, and kayaks. Visitors can enjoy the crystal-clear sea and beautiful scenery while indulging in delicious seafood at the nearby Muraglia restaurant. The beach is well-maintained with clean facilities such as showers, lockers, and toilets.
Our favorite beach during vacation in Finale. Probably the most expensive one, 30 EUR for full day per person for a spot with umbrella - but we found the price to be reasonable. Nice clean beach which is not packed, the amount of spots is limited so it is not overfilled with people. Staff was amazing and they remembered us when we returned, tried to find us a spot when we arrived later in the day. They are booked even a few days in advance so make sure to book your place too. You can order food and drinks via their QR code. Definitely recommend this beach.

This beach club is amazing, spent the day here and had a wonderful time. Service was exceptional. Price was very good and included sun bed, umbrella….and if you wish to use, SUP and kayak. Completely clean everywhere. Cold shower, hot shower, with shower gel. Individual locker/ changing room, toilets everything you need. The sand was nice, sea was crystal clear, the scenery was beautiful. Many nice people - families and couples. Life guard on duty. Ate in the restaurant too. The service there was also exceptional with the friendliest of staff. Menu was good and prices were reasonable. Best to make a reservation. Tried beef tartare, goats cheese salad and black pasta cuttlefish. All were delicious. Highly recommended
Everything you need for a day at the beach. Just bring towels but chairs, umbrellas with a curtain for shade, bar service and orders to your location, showers, canoe rentals included in service fee.
Very clean, warm shower, great service.
Very clean beach, spatious sunbed areas slightly devided in sunbeds for families with kids near playground and singles/couples on the other side of the beach - friendly staff! A bit expensive in comparison with surrounding beaches, but very lovely!
dog friendly place, good service , good prices, free wifi and great view
Fantastic service. I had a delicious panini.
Went last year and i miss this place 😭
It was a beautiful lunch with spritz 🍹
I hope to come soon :)

Nestled in the charming village of Finalborgo, the Chiostri di Santa Caterina boasts a rich history dating back to around 1360. Originally established as a family chapel for the Del Carretto lineage, this Dominican complex has undergone significant transformations over the centuries, including a period when it served as a prison from 1863 to 1964. Despite these changes, its stunning Renaissance cloisters remain beautifully preserved.
Perfect place to hold an outdoor concert, a beautiful setting!

Churches & Cathedrals
The Collegiata di San Biagio stands as the crown jewel of Borgo, showcasing a splendid example of Baroque architecture from the 17th century. Built upon the remnants of a medieval church dating back to 1372, it retains elements like the bold late Gothic octagonal bell tower, which leans slightly and features delicate bifore on each side.
The Collegiata di San Biagio in Finale Ligure is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture, with a history that spans centuries. Commissioned by the powerful Del Carretto family in the 12th century, the church served as both a place of worship and a symbol of their power. Over the centuries, the church has undergone numerous renovations and additions, blending Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles. Its imposing facade, adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures, is a testament to the craftsmanship of its builders. Today, visitors can admire the church's beautiful frescoes, explore the crypt, and climb the bell tower for breathtaking views of the city.

(Translated by Google) We went for an aperitif (6:00 pm) on the 2nd June long weekend. Confusing staff and unkind treatment reserved for us.
Price of a cocktail €7, you can't complain about that but everything else is missing, including food, they had run out of everything.

Siamo stati a fare aperitivo ( ore 18:00 ) il ponte del 2 Giugno. Personale confusionario e trattamento poco gentile riservatoci.
Prezzo di un cocktail 7€, su questo non ci si può lamentare ma manca tutto il resto, compreso il cibo che avevano finito qualsiasi cosa.
(Translated by Google) Even under the previous manager, the bar wasn't great at anything, but since it was handed over to his nephew, things have gotten so bad that I've decided not to go there anymore. High prices, unfriendly service, unprofessional treatment, confusion, terrible cappuccinos and coffees, limited selection, and high demand for the prices.
If it weren't for its prime location on the beach, it would have closed a long time ago. How it can present itself to customers in such a ridiculous manner is beyond anyone's knowledge... NOT RECOMMENDED!
(Original)
Già con il precedente gestore il BAR non eccelleva in nulla ma da quanto è stato lasciato al nipote le cose sono peggiorate al punto che ho deciso di non entrarci più. Prezzi alti, antipatia, trattamento dei peggiori, confusione, cappuccini e caffè pessimi, poca offerta e tanta richiesta per i prezzi.
Se non fosse per la posizione privilegiata sulla spiaggia sarebbe chiuso da un pezzo. Come ci so possa poi presentare alla clientela in quella maniera ridicola non si sa... SCONSIGLIATO!
(Translated by Google) We are on the free beach San Donato, from the shoreline we head towards the bar of the San Donato bathing establishment, to have a drink, three meters from the entrance, the lifeguard stops us and tells us that we can only enter from the street, Via Aurelia. But do you realize! This is Ligurian hospitality.... Never again in this bar, which I strongly advise against. On the Riviera Romagnola they would have welcomed me differently, take example from you amateurs at random!

Siamo in spiaggia libera San Donato, dal bagnasciuga ci dirigiamo verso il bar del bagno San Donato, a bere un drink, a tre metri dall’entrata, ci ferma il bagnino che ci dice che possiamo entrare sola dalla strada, Via Aurelia. Ma vi rendete conto! Questa è l’ospitalità ligure…. Mai più in questo bar, che vi sconsiglio vivamente. Nella riviera romagnola mi avrebbero accolto diversamente, prendetene esempio dilettanti allo sbaraglio!
(Translated by Google) Today, more than ever, five stars for San Donato beach. Now that the beach has been restored to its former splendor after the devastating storm that destroyed the wooden walkway and damaged the beach clubs. Everything will be rebuilt, and next summer, San Donato will once again be a tourist destination, its sea offering recreation and pleasure to all. Nestled between two small rocky promontories, San Donato is a beach of light gray sand lapped by a crystalline sea. In addition to the two expensive and exclusive "bagni" (beach clubs), there are three beautiful, spacious public beaches with showers. Access to the sea is typical of much of the Ligurian Riviera: just a few steps and you're out of the water, but going for a swim is impossible. Some people complain about the lack of parking. True, but from Finale Ligure it's a ten-minute walk, and from Finale Ligure a little longer....
(Original)
Oggi più che mai cinque stelle alla spiaggia di San Donato. Oggi che la spiaggia risorge al suo antico splendore dopo la devastante mareggiata che ha distrutto la passerella in legno e danneggiato gli stabilimenti balneari. Tutto verrà ricostruito e la prossima estate San Donato sarà ancora meta di turisti e il suo mare offrirà svago e piacere a tutti. Chiusa fra due piccoli promontori rocciosi, San Donato è una spiaggia di sabbia grigia chiara su cui si infrange un mare cristallino. Oltre ai due "bagni" cari ed esclusivi quanto vogliono, ci sono tre bellissime ed ampie spiagge libere con docce. L'accesso al mare è tipico di buona parte della riviera ligure, tre passi e non si tocca più ma rinunciare al bagno è impossibile. Qualcuno lamenta la mancanza di parcheggi. Vero, ma da Finalpia si arriva in dieci minuti a piedi, da Finale Ligure un po' di più....

Historical landmark
Nestled in the picturesque Finale Ligure, the Grotta delle Arene Candide is a captivating cave that holds both natural beauty and archaeological importance. Surrounded by ancient dolmens and menhirs, this site offers a glimpse into prehistory for enthusiasts. The journey to the cave is accessible via a scenic path from Borgio Verezzi, taking about 30 minutes uphill, where visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the Ligurian coast along the way.
The guided tour was super interesting!the trail to get there is well displayed and quite easy, with stunning view down the Ligurian coast. Call to book in advance!

Amazing, awe inspiring place.
Monday closed - so I cannot vote really...
Ok
(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience. The path to reach the cave starts from Borgio Verezzi, the first part is on asphalt and then continues on dirt. The slope is gentle, which makes the visit accessible to everyone, even those like me who have knee problems. The view of the coast is beautiful. There are many wild flowers and aromatic herbs, such as thyme and rue, which make the air fragrant. 180 steps to go down to the cave. Silvia, the girl who accompanied us on the visit was really good, detailed and engaging. An immersion in our most ancient history to remember. The cave cannot always be visited, you must inquire at the Finale museum. Reservation required because only 30 people can enter.
(Original)
Bellissima esperienza. Il sentiero per raggiungere la caverna parte da borgio verezzi, la prima parte è su asfalto per poi proseguire sterrato. La pendenza è lieve, il che rende accibile atutti la visita, anche a chi come me ha problemi alle ginocchia. La vista sulla costa è bellissima. Ci sono tanti fiori selvatici ed erbe aromatiche, come timo e ruta, che rendono l'aria profumata. 180 scalini per scendere alla grotta. Silvia, la ragazza che ci ha accompagnato nella visita è stata veramente brava, dettagliata e coinvolgente. Un'immersione nella nostra storia più antica da ricordare. La caverna non è sempre visitabile, bisogna informarsi presso il museo di finale. Prenotazione obbligatoria perché possono entrare solo 30 persone.
(Translated by Google) Book a visit to the Finale museum. You pay for the ticket on site. Interesting. Prepare for access via path and stairs. Very panoramic place

(Translated by Google) A very interesting tour led by archaeologist Livia, whom we congratulate for her clear explanations and the engaging nature of the experience. No one knows it, but behind Borgio lies a rarity: a cave that reveals an uninterrupted stratigraphy from the Paleolithic to the Byzantine era, which European archaeologists consider a benchmark for dating artifacts. In that cave, they also raised animals and then lit small fires to sterilize the environment. Centuries later, we can still see black lines on the "Witnesses" that tell us about this phenomenon. The tour concludes with the discovery of the "Young Prince," discovered purely by chance during excavations during World War II. I hope the electricity will soon be restored—still connected to the now bankrupt Ghigliazza quarry.
(Original)
Visita molto interessante tenuta dall'archeologa Livia a cui vanno i nostri complimenti per la chiarezza delle spiegazioni e per il coinvolgimento che è riuscita a creare. Nessuno lo sa ma alle spalle di Borgio si nasconde una rarità: un grotta che ci restituisce una stratigrafia ininterrotta dal paleolitico fino all'età bizantina che gli archeologi in Europa considerano un punto di riferimento per la datazione dei reperti. In quella grotta vi allevavano anche animali e poi appiccavano dei piccoli fuochi per sterilizzare l'ambiente e a distanza di secoli noi possiamo scorgere delle linee nere sui "Testimoni" che ci raccontano questo fenomeno. La visita si conclude con la scoperta del "Giovane Principe" ritrovato per puro caso durante gli scavi della seconda guerra mondiale. Mi auguro che presto si possa ripristinare la corrente elettrica - collegata ancora alla cava Ghigliazza ormai in stato di fallimento.

Finalborgo, a stunning medieval village located in western Liguria, Italy, is often described as one of the most beautiful villages in the country. This small gem, situated just one kilometer from the sea, offers enchanting views and narrow streets lined with churches that house splendid sixteenth-century works.
One of the best surprises of the trip. An amazing small Pueblo full of bikers and climbers and lively plazas. Must see! Do yourself a favor and take a day or two to explore the history and vineyards.

Very nice little town center where you can find all types of shops, especially outdoor ones (climbing, biking, yoga, running, ect). Many options to eat something typical like pasta dishes or focaccia.
(Translated by Google) Typical medieval town well preserved, clean and very well kept. A total immersion in the typical atmosphere of the past with typical buildings and streets. Access prohibited to traffic, allowed only for loading/unloading luggage (you can only enter from Porta Reale), then the car can be left in one of the external car parks, some free along the river, the others for a fee. Advice to wear comfortable shoes due to the original flooring of the time

Carolina P — Google review
Pretty beach with nice views. If you’re not around I am not sure if it’s worth any effort to go there specifically.
Lill bit overrated. Just go 2 km more and you get better beach, less crowded
Wow. Just wow. Parking is very difficult. But if you can grab a spot it's amazing. Swimming with mask is like being in aquarium. Stones can be difficult to maneuver, 7€ shoes from Decathlon did a great job.
Nice beach, water is clear good for snorkelling. No very easy to park around, €15 (all day) on the back close to the mountain.
One of my all time favorite beaches in Liguria
From the top you have the best view ever...got in there is quite easy with an e-bike. Following the 24h Finale’s path is impossible to lose this spot
We loved it, even saw a squid swimming along a few steps into the water.

"La Ruggia" is a beachfront bar, restaurant, and resort that offers a wonderful experience. The top floor bar provides a fantastic atmosphere to chill and enjoy drinks with superb service. The restaurant serves gourmet fresh food, making it a fantastic place for dining. While the Poke Bowls are not recommended due to the use of American fish and bland flavors, overall the food is mostly of good standard. The location itself is described as wonderful, with a nice beach adding to its appeal.
Amazing sea view. Perfect place for aperitivo or a dinner. Good food, beautiful view and fair prices.
Claudio R — Google review
Amazing location looking over and almost on top of the beach. The staff were very friendly and not overly attentive- good knowledge of local wines, which was great. The food did not disappoint at all, delicious pasta, fresh fish, and tasty home made desserts.
La Ruggia is a fantastic spot for fish lovers – so good that we came back a second time during our stay in Varigotti. The mussels were outstanding, full of flavor, and the burrata-stuffed anchovies were just as impressive. The tuna tartar tagliolini was out of this world, and the devil fish was also excellent.
On our second visit we had to order the mussels again, and also enjoyed the fried calamari with carrots and zucchini, which were light and delicious. For the main course we shared the catch of the day (dorado) for two, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The meal was rounded off beautifully with a tiramisu that was excellent. Both the beer selection and the white wine we had were also very good and paired perfectly with the dishes.
The setting couldn’t be better – right on the beach, with the sound of the waves and a view of the sunset. Service was friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. Truly a memorable dining experience and highly recommended.
At La Ruggia, we enjoyed one of the most memorable happy hours of the trip. The terrace, with its breathtaking ocean views, set the stage for a truly elevated experience. We sipped hand-crafted cocktails that were as beautiful as they were delicious, made by bartenders who were both professional and genuinely friendly. The vibe was relaxed yet refined , a five-star experience in every sense, where the service, setting, and drinks all came together in perfect harmony.
The place is wonderful, nice beach and there is also a nice bar/restaurant/beach resort "la Ruggia" just in front of the sea! Wonderful!
Very enjoyable experience at La Ruggia! Amazing food! We have tried multiple dishes and EVERYTHING tasted perfect 👌 Extremely friendly and very accommodating staff 🫶
Will definitely be back when in the area ☀️
Very unfriendly and unprofessional staff. We've never got a table here even everything was empty. Even though we were asking for any time to return until midnight they didn't offer anything. Foreigners should definitely stay away from here, seems to be gatekeeped for locals. Even of the people who have been here, I have not heard much good.
To start the view and the people were amazing. They serve a lightly fried bread with veggies in it before bringing out the meal. We had the mussels and a pasta. These were amazing and we did not leave a drop as everything was incredible. We stopped on a road trip. Definitely worth it!!!

The staff is very friendly and offers amenities like free Wi-Fi, device charging, and beach volleyball. This spot is perfect for dog owners as it provides facilities such as dog showers, drinking bowls, shade, and poo bags.
This is the best dog beach we found in Liguria. Extremly friendly staff, free gift at the entrance everytime (dogtreats, bowl, towel for dogs), free dogbowls with unlimited clean water, showers (for doggies also), free Wi-Fi. Toilets were a little quetionable. They desinfected and cleaned the beach multiple times a day. Sun umbrella is 10 euro a day (required for entrance) + sunbeds 20 euro for 2 people (not required). A few times they gave us sunbeds even for free! Very good food and drinks at the bar. Free parking is possible at white lines on the side of the road by the exit of the village, sometimes full, better to arrive early morning (8:00) especially on the weekend. Overall highly recommend!

We went to the Dog friendly part of the beach and only had to pay a Fee for the Umbrella and the lounge chairs! They had a Shower for the Dogs and plenty of Water Bowls for them. The Staff was very helpful and friendly, we also got some good drinks at the Bar!
All in all a very nice experience!!
Really welcoming, friendly and amazing staff. The prices were fair and you'll get a lot for you and your dog in exchange. We've never had a better dog beach yet.
Best free beach around! Friendly staff, lots of amenities, and great volleyball court.
Very well organized and clean beach👍🏻 It’s the best dog-friendly beach in the area 🐶
This is a dog beach created by dog lovers! You have to pay but only a few euros for an umbrella, but you get dog shower, human shower, dog drinking bowls and shade. Plus poo bags and everything else for furry friends. This is the best dog beach I’ve been to!
Awesome pebble beach with very friendly staff! Many services for good price like free wifi, possibility to charge your device, beach volleyball etc. Dog friendly. I have been there for two consecutive years with my gf and friends and we were always satisfied. Totally my favourite place in Liguria!
Almost everything was great except one single problem. The beach was clean, beautiful and well organized. The problem is the parking posts. There not enough parking for all the tourists there, get there early enough to find one.

Spiaggia del Malpasso in Liguria is a remarkable beach that offers an exceptional experience. The water is remarkably clear and transparent, providing a stunning view. It is not overly crowded, making it a peaceful destination to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Moreover, it is reasonably priced for visitors with only a small fee of 5 per person required. The beach is well-maintained and clean, ensuring a pleasant environment for everyone.
One of the best beaches in Liguria! The entrance costs 5 eur. Everything's super organised. You can stay on your towels or you can take the sunbeds and an umbrella. There's also a nice bar. Drinks, ice cream food, anything you want. Water is magical! Super clear! The only problem is the parking. You have to be there really early in the morning to find a spot. There's a big parking in 3 min walk and it costs 12 eur I think for the whole day. But you have to come early! Or on a helicopter 😂
Alexa M — Google review
We came early because we are from Valle d'Aosta, this picture was taken 3rd week of June 2025,
Everything was perfect when you early the parking was free in front of the entrance,
They open at 8am, you can bring your umbrella and bed or food or you can rent,
Remember their SHOWER Not allowed to use shampoo or any soap JUST RINSE
Beautiful place, sea water are cristal clear. Clean and well maintained beach. You can park along the road, or park with payments secure.
Uncrowded in early June, water is still a bit cold but refreshing. Parking in front but it was easy to find it since it was low season. Entrance is 5 euro per person, you can bring your own blanket and umbrella if you don't want to rent. If you go from around 3:30, they don't collect fees. If you don't want to hear the bar music, go to the far left side. More peace and quiet there.
When I come to Liguria, this is a must-visit place to spend a whole day ... Everything is very organized and clean.
Thank you for a wonderful stay 😉
PS: please help to put the umbrella up if necessary, I'm smaller than the umbrella, so how can I put it in …? 🙏🏻
PPS: the beach staff does everything but not protect guests in the water... It's a pity, I would like to feel safe in the water…
I mean, this is as good as it gets! For Liguria at least! Incredible transparent water, not so busy, not so expensive, although you do have to pay 5€ per person. It is worthy.
Crystal clear waters (blue flag standard), still half wild, not commercialised but with an option of umbrellas and sunbeds rent, not placed permanently on the beach but on request for clients to place independently. All services available (parking, bathrooms, shower and bar / restaurant as well as kayak, paddling and pedalo rent) all with modest prices comparing to the beaches in the zone. Highly reccomended.
You need to go early for parking, otherwise you won't find any parking. very nice beach ⛱️⛱️⛱️

Alberto F — Google review
Hi, I hate to give rates, so I do it only when it’s too much. When your wife came few minutes ago and was told there was space for 60 euros for one pair of long chairs, so you come and suddenly there is no space available with no explication. It was literally few minutes after and there was plenty of spaces available. The waitress told me exactly this before her manager the rude bold guy arrives and gives another version and reject us even if we were ready to pay 60 euros for 2 hours stay in your incredible private little beach.
You are lucky this city is beautiful enough to cover your bad behaviour.
To be honest and I could have argue with you in front if I didn’t have my too little babies burning under the sun.
We bought a parasol and we had a wonderful time but this has to be said.
Thanks to the young waitress for their honesty, don’t lose yourself like the old bold guy.
PS : I gave 2 stars because the city is really wonderful !
Rude. We came in for an afternoon coffee by the sea and to get some shade. Owner told us we could sit but would need to leave if the lunch rush came, as it was close to 13:00. We understood and happily agreed (and did finish up promptly). Tried to be respectful and quiet for the brief time we were there.
Then they insulted us for no apparent reason. Perhaps assuming we would not understand. Or they are just shameless enough not to care. The coffee was nice enough, but certainly left a bad taste in my mouth.
We walked down the beach and found a very friendly place to spend the afternoon instead.
We love this little beach and the staff is great
Great place with lovely people. Love it! 💛💛💛

The Arch dedicated to Queen Margaret Theresa of Spain, known as the Triumphal Arch, stands proudly in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, a charming square by the sea. Erected in 1666 and designed by architect Sebastiano Bocciardo, this stunning monument commemorates the young queen's passage through Finalmarina on her way to marry Emperor Leopold of Austria. The square itself is a delightful spot for enjoying gelato on warm days or savoring dinner with picturesque views.

(Translated by Google) The Triumphal Arch was erected in 1666 in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II and designed by the architect Sebastiano Bocciardo. It commemorates the passage through Finalmarina of the seventeen-year-old Margherita Teresa, daughter of Philip IV of Spain and sister of Charles II, while she was going to Vienna as the bride of Emperor Leopold I of Austria. The arch was ordered by Diego Alverado, Knight of the Order of Calatrava and Governor of the Marquisate of Finale under the rule of King Charles II of Spain. During the day the square is deserted especially if the temperatures are high and if it is high season. In the evening it becomes crowded as there are various activities and clubs.

L'Arco Trionfale viene eretto nel 1666 in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II e disegnato dall'architetto Sebastiano Bocciardo. Ricorda il passaggio da Finalmarina della diciassettenne Margherita Teresa, figlia di Filippo IV di Spagna e sorella di Carlo II, mentre si stava recando a Vienna come sposa dell'imperatore Leopoldo I d'Austria. L'arco fu ordinato da Diego Alverado, Cavaliere dell'ordine di Calatrava e Governatore del Marchesato di Finale sotto il dominio del Re Carlo II di Spagna. Durante la giornata la piazza è desertica soprattutto se le temperature sono elevate e se si è in alta stagione. Alla sera si popola in quanto si trovano varie attività e locali.

Il personale è molto gentile ed attento. Vi consigliamo un pranzo fronte mare con i piedi nella sabbia in questo lido, se passate da Finale.
(Translated by Google) We had lunch after a morning on the beach. The staff very courteous and helpful. Everything was very clean, tidy and well organised. As a first course, cuttlefish ink tagliolini with prawns and cherry tomatoes. For the second course, fried fish. Exceptional anchovies. You can taste the sea. Excellent quality/price ratio. We recommend it.
(Original)
Abbiamo pranzato dopo una mattinata in spiaggia. Il personale molto cortese e disponibile. Tutto molto pulito, curato e ben organizzato. Come primo tagliolini al nero di seppia con gamberi e pomodorini. Per secondo fritto di pesce. Le acciughe eccezionali. Si sente il sapore del mare. Ottimo il rapporto qualità/prezzo. Lo consigliamo.

Caprazoppa is a historic fort located on the Gottaro hill, strategically positioned to oversee the coast from Caprazoppa to San Donato Cape. Dating back to the 14th century, this star-shaped building has undergone various reconstructions and alterations. It stands close to Finale, offering stunning views at about 26 meters above sea level. While access to the turret may be limited, visitors can still enjoy breathtaking views of the promontory from above or along the Aurelia.
Perfect buy not for everyone.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful tower and beautiful promontory. It's a shame that the turret is not accessible as all the paths are closed by the quarry gates. Visible from above (there is a path that passes over the quarry) otherwise visible from the Aurelia
(Original)
Bella torre e bel promontorio. Peccato che la torretta non sia accessibile poichè tutti i sentieri sono chiusi dai cancelli della cava. Visibile dall'alto (c'è un sentiero che passa sopra la cava) altrimenti vedibile dall'aurelia
(Translated by Google) The beach adjacent to the rocks, which border the camper area, is free!!
During the quieter periods of the year we walk with our dogs, always on a leash, along the shoreline which is splendid!!! Watch out for the zebra mussels, this year very present all along the shore!! I haven't tried it firsthand, but they say it's stinging😬 the rest of the beach, which is very large, is mostly characterized by fairly fine sand.
(Original)
La spiaggia adiacente agli scogli, che costeggiano l'area camper, è libera!!
Noi nei periodi dell'anno più tranquilli passeggiamo con i nostri cani, sempre al guinzaglio, lungo il bagnasciuga che è splendido!!! Occhio alle cozze zebrate, quest'anno molto presenti su tutta la riva!! Non ho provato in prima persona, ma dicono essere urticanti😬 il resto della spiaggia, molto vasta, è caratterizzata per lo più da sabbia abbastanza fine.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately it is not possible to reach this point, not even the small tower of the lame goat, the ancient Napoleonic road has been closed with gates and not even making other paths, I have followed some paths in the area but there is a risk of getting lost, the paths are poorly marked or not even marked. Bad experience.

Purtroppo non è possibile raggiungere questo punto , nemmeno la piccola torre della capra zoppa , l'antica strada napoleonica è stata chiusa con cancelli e nemmeno facendo altri sentieri , ho percorso qualche sentiero in zona ma si rischia di perdersi , i sentieri sono mal segnalati o addirittura nemmeno segnati .Pessima esperienza.

The pathway leading to the shoreline presents a moderately challenging route, necessitating appropriate footwear and utilizing ropes for descending. During the summer season, these beaches are bustling with activity; however, in the early spring, they transform into serene and breathtaking landscapes devoid of crowds. A stunning nudist beach can only be reached through a combination of hiking, climbing, or swimming. Punta Crena winery can be described as an exquisite establishment known for its vineyards and wine production.
Wonderful.The road down to the beach is a medium plus difficulty, you need shoes and a descent on the ropes.
Алексей К — Google review
Those beaches are full on summer time, and on early spring it's emty and gorgeous
Best bit of beach we found! Fantastic climb down!
If you dont like hights, best put your stuff in a drybag and swim from the pier.
If you dont like naked people... best find another beach
Beautiful nudist beach accessible only by hiking+climbing or swimming.
All the pics from late summer
Crazy adventure beach
I have been here through the immensely human wine of this family! Let me add to Ernesto's list of Punta Crena wines: Colline Savonesi Rosso "Cruvino." These are extraordinary "everyday" wines to share at your table.

Ottima esperienza in questi bagni liguri! Gentili e cordiali, disponibili. le proposte della giornata per il pranzo sono differenti e validissime. Complimenti ai bagnini della spiaggia sempre pronti a tenere sotto controllo la situazione.
(Translated by Google) The best beach in Finale Ligure, or rather, in Liguria. We had a wonderful time there again this summer. The people are really polite, the staff is super helpful, and everyone is very kind, both the lifeguards and the bar staff. Daniela was wonderful, she helped me after I was stung by a wasp. The coffee cream was excellent. Thank you all, and see you soon!

Il migliore Lido di Finale Ligure anzi della Liguria, anche quest’estate siamo stati benissimo.

Splendida Daniela che mi ha soccorso dopo esser stata punta da una vespa. Ottima la crema al caffè. Grazie a Tutti ed a presto 🤗
(Translated by Google) The food was excellent, but the courtesy was lacking.
I didn't have change, and to avoid paying for a €1 bottle of water with my debit card, I asked to pay for it after I'd eaten lunch. Note that the day before, I'd spent a considerable sum on two portions of calamari...
I was told they couldn't offer credit. I was on the beach with an umbrella...I wasn't going to run away for a euro.
I didn't eat lunch that day, and they lost a customer.
(Original)
La cucina ottima, la cortesia manca.
Non avevo spicci e per non pagare una bottiglia di acqua da 1 euro con il bancomat ho chiesto di pagarla quando avessi fatto pranzo. Notare che il giorno prima avevo speso una bella cifra per due porzioni di calamari....
Mi é stato detto che non potevano fare credito. Ero in spiaggia con l'ombrellone...non scappavo per un euro.
Non ho fatto pranzo la quel giorno e hanno perso una cliente.

La Fortezza, a restaurant located in a stunning position with panoramic vistas of the mesmerizing ocean, offers an array of delectable dishes that have consistently received high praise. The exceptional service provided by the friendly staff is always accompanied by well-matched wine recommendations that enhance the dining experience. This establishment, situated within a charming castle featuring a cafe and restaurant, provides guests with an enchanting view of the seaside.
We hosted a wine tasting here last summer, which was an absolutely fabulous experience. Location is awesome of course, but also the hosts were super accommodating, friendly and went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. Aperitif and dinner was outstanding, as always in La Fortezza. Complimenti!
Manuela G — Google review
This place is truly beautiful, and we were excited to stop in for a drink. However, we were disappointed to learn it's dining only, especially since the vast majority of tables were unoccupied. It felt like a missed opportunity for both us and the establishment.
Made a reservation for 7, arrived a bit early, unfriendly lady just says "nothing before 7:30". Never again
Superb hotel, the restaurant was one of the best, with excellent cuisine, extensive wine list. The staff were superb, breakfast was simple but elegant. Highly recommend a stay here.
The dinner was simply sublime.
We had mainly fish based dishes.
They are also gluten free friendly
Beautiful castle with free concert during summer time, fantastic view and how lucky to be here !!
There's a great view of the seaside from the castle, a quaint hotel with a café and restaurant. It's lovely.
Great location. Excellent food and wine.

Fortress
Forte San Giovanni, located in the historic center of Finalborgo, offers a spectacular view of the coast and surrounding area. The fort is easily accessible with a short hike from Finalborgo and is free to visit. Although there are few signs explaining its history, the well-renovated fort allows for free exploration. The hike up to the fort is not too strenuous but it's advisable to bring water on warm days.
A great hike to get there, not too hard but definitely bring water with you if you’re going in warm/hot weather. The fort is free to visit and there are views of the valley from all sides. Not accessible for wheelchair/any mobility equipment.
Dimitarz — Google review
Difficult hike if you are sore. Took us 20 min to reach the top. Worth the walk.
It’s really nice walk up through the old town to the Forte, once up there you have fantastik view.
There is no fee to enter, the guides there are very friendly and knowledgable.
Free historical fort to explore. Simple hike up. Lots of history to experience. Must see. Views to the sea are spectacular.
The hike up is not so bad - and it’s free entry so its worth the trip. Pretty nice view from the top. The hostess is also really friendly and will provide some helpful information about the place.
I was here last year and it beautiful, views and such; HOWEVER it is currently temporarily closed until 20 July. An extra sign before the begining of the Castle path would be appreciated.
Nice walk up to the castle with great view over Finalborgo, Finale Ligure and the see. Romantic during the night even though the past has no public lighting.
Nice view but very expensive

Abbazia dei Padri Benedettini is a stunning Benedictine abbey located in Finale Ligure, Liguria. It has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was originally a chapel dedicated to the Madonna. Over the centuries, it underwent expansions and renovations, with the interior showcasing extensive and high-quality art including a 16th-century tabernacle and the Madonna with Child.
Such a magnificent place!

Merita una visita, soprattutto l' attigua abbazia. Con un appuntamento si può visitare l'interno con i suoi 2 chiostri ed il giardino. Molto disponibili e gentili i religiosi presenti.
(Translated by Google) In the photo section you will find numerous images of the exterior and the wonderful interior, truly large and solemn.
In short summary, a chapel dedicated to the Madonna existed since 1140/70
In 1446 it became an enlargement of the Olivetan Benedictines, was rebuilt in 1724 and restored for the last time in 1951. The art inside is extensive and of very high quality, such as the 16th century tabernacle and the Madonna with Child.
I can assure you that the photos do not convey the magnificence and beauty of the interior, it is not just art, it is faith, some images and statues really convey emotions and messages.
(Original)
Nelle sezione foto troverete numerose immagini dell' esterno e del meraviglioso interno, veramente ampio e solenne.
In breve sintesi, esisteva dal 1140/70 una Cappella dedicata alla Madonna
Nel 1446 divenne ampliandosi dei Benedettini olivetani, fu ricostruita nel 1724 e restaurata per ultima volta nel 1951. L' arte al suo interno è tanta e di qualità altissima, come il tabernacolo del XVI secolo e con Madonna con Bambino.
Vi posso assicurare che le foto non rendono la magnificenza e la bellezza dell interno,, non è solo arte è fede,, alcune immagini e statue trasmettono proprio emozioni e messaggi.

Beach
Spiaggia libera attrezzata in Finale Ligure is a wonderful and safe beach with calm waters, making it perfect for spending the whole day. Visitors recommend bringing conditioner to combat the salty water's effects on hair. The beach offers free areas as well as options to rent umbrellas and lying benches for a more relaxing experience by the sea. Additionally, there are manned parking areas available for added security at a small cost.
I visited Finale Ligure in 2020 with my friends, we were living in Torino at that time and what a wonderful experience!
The water is amazing, but reallllyyy salty! So i recommend bringing conditioner for after, cuz the hair ends up really dry.
I loved the calmness of the beach, its really safe and really good to be all day!
We arrived at 10 am and left at 5 pm! We brought sandwiches and sangria to enjoy! Only stoped to the supermarket to get some more snacks!
At first i was hesitant to leave my stuff unsupervised to go on the beach but nothing happened and everybody was just minding their business! Bring an umbrella! Since the sun hitss realllyyyy hardddd that it hurts lol so dont forget your sunblock too to reaply.
I’ll definitely go back once i’m in Italy again!

Beautiful sea, perfect temperature way too crowded and little to no parking but stunning views of the coast
Beach is wonderful, staff service-minded. There are free areas along the beach. But if you like to enjoy the sea and waves with a relaxing manner, better to rent an umbrella with lying benches. We stopped our car at the manned parking area for security reasons at a small cost.
Dogs allowed ans very beatiful beach close to shopping and restaurants. Beatiful to walk around.
Comfortable place. Both public and private beach are available in the area.
Well, just normal. I think it's better to pay a few euros and get some comfortable place on the private beach.
Very nice place! We always stop to have a good coffee at the quiosque
Soooo many people.

Monument
Porta Reale serves as the grand entrance to Finalborgo, a charming village steeped in history. Dating back to the late 17th century, it replaced the older Porta Carretta and showcases an intriguing blend of architectural styles. The gate is adorned with a faux 19th-century design featuring the Savoy coat of arms and an image of Madonna, symbolizing protection over this ancient settlement.
One of the best panoramic views are outside the gate.

Bellissima porta di accesso a Finalborgo, insieme a Porta testa sono le due principali vie di accesso al borgo.
(Translated by Google) An ancient gateway to the city, this gate is a well-preserved jewel of medieval architecture, as well as the ideal starting point for exploring Finalborgo. Once crossed, you will be immersed in a labyrinth of cobbled streets, artisan shops, restaurants and cafés. It is a perfect place to walk and immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of a medieval village.

Antico accesso alla città, questa porta è un gioiello ben conservato di architettura medievale, nonché il punto di partenza ideale per esplorare Finalborgo.

Beautiful building
(Translated by Google) Built in the 13th century, it was the palace where the Marquises Dal Carretto (who lived in the nearby Castel Gavone) administered justice.
It remained the seat of the court until a few years ago.
The "Baba Yaga" association organizes guided tours inside.
It is located in the small square of Finalborgo from which the Strada Beretta starts, an ancient military road that leads first to Castel S.Giovanni, then to Castel Gavone.

Costruito nel XIII secolo, era il palazzo dove i Marchesi Dal Carretto ( che risiedevano nel vicino Castel Gavone) amministravano la giustizia.

Si trova nella piazzetta di Finalborgo da cui parte la Strada Beretta, antica strada militare che porta prima a Castel S.Giovanni, poi fino a Castel Gavone.
(Translated by Google) It is an important historical landmark for Finalborgo. Built in the 14th century, it was the administrative and judicial center of the Marquisate of Finale. During its existence it was remodeled several times: in 1462 it was renovated in late Gothic style by Giovanni I del Carretto; in 1781 the internal rooms were renovated at the behest of the governor of the Genoese Republic; finally in 2011 the regional superintendency restored the facade, adding the Renaissance style pictorial decorations that can be admired today.
(Original)
Si tratta di un importante punto di riferimento storico per Finalborgo. Eretto nel XIV Secolo, era il centro amministrativo e giudiziario del Marchesato di Finale. Durante la sua esistenza fu rimaneggiato più volte: nel 1462 fu ristrutturato in stile tardo gotico da Giovanni I del Carretto; nel 1781 vennero rinnovate le sale interne per volere del governatore della Repubblica Genovese; infine nel 2011 la sovrintendenza regionale ha restaurato la facciata, aggiungendo le decorazioni pittoriche in stile rinascimentale che si ammirano oggi.

Una perla, uno spazio dedicato all'arte, in ogni sua sfumatura. La sua struttura, non molto ampia comprende 70 posti a sedere e permette di vivere le performance degli artisti con grande trasporto e ottima visibilità. Un gioiello in un Borgo fantastico!

(Translated by Google) Small theater in the heart of Finalborgo. Fascinating place with many testimonies of the past, mostly frescoes. A little jewel where you can spend beautiful evenings; there are many activities dedicated to children in the morning and afternoon. Only drawback: architectural barriers for disabled people in wheelchairs.
(Original)
Piccolo teatro nel cuore di Finalborgo. Luogo affascinante con tante testimonianze del passato, per lo più affreschi. Un piccolo gioiello dove trascorrere delle belle serate; molte le attività dedicate ai bambini in orari mattutini e pomeridiani. Unico inconveniente: barriere architettoniche x disabili in carrozzella.
(Translated by Google) Must see. Nice museum complex like all of Finalborgo.
(Original)
Da vedere . Bel complesso museale come tutta finalborgo.
(Translated by Google) The Aycardi theater is a jewel that we hope can be used as soon as possible without too many complications due to bureaucratic paranoia about "security".

Il teatro Aycardi è un gioiello che speriamo possa essere utilizzato al più presto senza troppe complicazioni dovute a paranoie burocratiche sulla "sicurezza".

Historical landmark
Palazzo Ricci is an elegant aristocratic palace that offers stunning views of the charming Piazza Santa Caterina. The palace exudes a sense of grandeur and history, making it a must-visit for those interested in experiencing the opulence of bygone eras. Additionally, Casa Cavasola boasts a romantic balcony, adding to the allure of this picturesque location.
Nestled amidst the picturesque Ligurian hills, Finaleborgo is a charming medieval village steeped in history. Once a fortified town, Finaleborgo offers visitors a glimpse into the Middle Ages. Its narrow, winding streets, lined with colorful houses and ancient palaces, create a magical atmosphere. The village's strategic location made it a target for numerous invasions over the centuries, leaving behind a rich tapestry of architectural styles. Explore the historic center, visit the castle, and wander through the ancient walls to experience the authentic charm of this medieval gem.

Church
Nostra Signora di Loreto, also known as the church of the five bell towers, is an elegant Renaissance church located in a picturesque setting surrounded by green and rocky landscapes. It can be reached via a path from Perti Alta or a mule track from Finalborgo, offering impressive views over the mountains and sea along the way. Although it is almost always closed, its unique architecture makes it worth a visit.
(Translated by Google) It is a magical place that exudes beauty and history. Its typical architecture with five bell towers recalls the Portinari Chapel of the Church of Sant'Eustorgio (in which Foppa, who also worked a lot in Liguria, worked) as proof of the link between the Del Carrettos and the Sforzas. It was built around 1480 on the occasion of the marriage between Alfonso I and Peretta Cubo Usodimare (granddaughter of Pope Innocent VIII) in fact this marriage was celebrated in Rome in the Vatican. I remember that the predecessor of Innocent VIII was Sixtus IV della Rovere (Franciscan), from 1471 to 1484, who was succeeded by Innocent VIII, from 1484 to 1492, followed by Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia, actually Borges as he was Spanish) 1484-1492 , then Tedeschini Piccolomini of Siena from 1492 to 1503 and from 1503 to 1513 a della Rovere returned, the great Warrior Pope Julius II to whom we owe the "features" of the current and majestic Church of Rome.
The world is really small... but beautiful!
The retaining wall now requires major restoration, as can be seen from the cleaning and deforestation that we were asked to carry out together with our colleagues from the AIB of Finale Ligure to facilitate operations. We hope for an excellent outcome. The church deserves it!
(Original)
È un luogo magico che trasuda bellezza e storia. La sua tipica architettura con cinque Campanili ricorda la Cappella Portinari della Chiesa di Sant'Eustorgio (in cui lavorò il Foppa che lavorò molto anche in Liguria) a riprova del legame tra i Del Carretto e gli Sforza. Fu costruita intorno al 1480 in occasione del matrimonio tra tra Alfonso I e Peretta Cubo Usodimare (nipote di Papa Innocenzo VIII) infatti questo matrimonio si celebrò a Roma in Vaticano. Ricordo che il predecessore di Innocenzo VIII fu Sisto IV della Rovere (Francescano), dal 1471 al 1484, cui successe appunto Innocenzo VIII, dal 1484 al 1492, seguito da Alessandro VI (Rodrigo Borgia, in realtà Borges in quanto spagnolo) 1484-1492, poi Tedeschini Piccolomini di Siena dal 1492 al 1503 e dal 1503 al 1513 tornó un della Rovere, il grande Papa Guerriero Giulio II a cui dobbiamo le "fattezze" dell'attuale e Maestosa Chiesa di Roma.
Il mondo è davvero piccolo... ma bellissimo!
Il muro di contenimento ora necessita di restauri importanti, come si evince dalla pulizia e disboscamento che con i colleghi dell'AIB di Finale Ligure siamo stati chiamati ad eseguire per facilitarne le operazioni. Speriamo in una ottima riuscita. La chiesa lo merita!

Beautiful view. Unfortunately the church is closed.
(Translated by Google) A 30-minute walk from Finalborgo, this unique little square church is a shame you can't visit inside, but you can peek through the holes in the door. Trees surrounding the church and a bench offer a moment's rest.
(Original)
Camminata di 30 minuti da Finalborgo, chiesetta quadrata particolare, peccato non si possa visitare all'interno, ma si può spiare dai buchi nel portone. Alberi intorno alla chiesa e una panchina permettono di riposarsi un attimo.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful little church, also known as the church of the five bell towers. Unfortunately it is almost always closed. It can be reached in a few minutes on foot from Perti Alta or via a mule track from Finalborgo in about half an hour (the path is a little steep in some places). The road shortly after the Perti church is closed to traffic (except residents) by a recent municipal ordinance.
(Original)
Bella chiesetta, nota anche come chiesa dei cinque campanili. Purtroppo è quasi sempre chiusa. E' raggiungibile in pochi minuti a piedi da Perti alta altrimenti attraverso una mulattiera da Finalborgo in ca una mezzoretta (sentiero in alcuni punti un po' ripido). La strada poco dopo la chiesa di perti è interrotta al traffico (eccetto residenti) da una recente ordinanza comunale.
(Translated by Google) Church almost hidden, there are no signs, the only road to access it is marked as a private road... the little church is closed, the interior suggests it is not very well cared for, adding some signs about if and when it can be visited wouldn't be bad. (September 2021)
(Original)
Chiesa quasi nascosta, non ci sono indicazioni, l'unica strada per accedervi è segnalata come strada privata... la chiesetta è chiusa, l'interno fa immaginare non sia molto curata, aggiungere qualche cartello sul se e quando può essere visitata non sarebbe male. (Settembre 2021)
(Translated by Google) Nice place. Nice, basic church.
Due to someone's rudeness, the surrounding area is a bit unclean.
Be careful where you park: the Finale police are happy to give fines to tourists if a car wheel is on the white line (when you can see it) that delimits the road.
(Original)
Bel posto. Chiesa carina, essenziale.
Per la maleducazione di qualcuno è un po' poco pulito il circondario.
Attenzione a dove si parcheggia: i vigili di Finale regalano volentieri multe ai turisti se una ruota dell'auto è sulla riga bianca (quando si vede) che delimita la stradina.
(Translated by Google) Nice little church, very isolated and closed, avoid going there in the evening, given the low traffic.
You can get there practically by car following from Finalborgo and continuing towards Perti Alta, there is a free car park nearby... the view is beautiful, there is also the very small village of Perti Alta, nothing more than a church, four houses and 2 cultivated fields.
(Original)
Chiesetta carina, molto isolata e chiusa, evitate di andarci di sera, dato lo scarso passaggio.
Potete arrivarci praticamente in auto seguendo da Finalborgo e proseguendo per Perti Alta, c'è un parcheggio nelle vicinanze non a pagamento ... bello il panorama, sempre li c'è il piccolissimo Borgo di Perti Alta, nulla di che' una chiesa, quattro casette e 2 campi coltivati.
(Translated by Google) It is a small church (I think disused) which is located in a very panoramic position in the Finale area. The architecture is very particular and for this reason it is illuminated at night with photoelectric lights and can be admired from the village area. However, it is worth a walk (half an hour from the village walking calmly) to be seen up close.
(Original)
È una piccola chiesetta ( penso in disuso) che si trova in una posizione molto panoramica del finalese. L'architettura è molto particolare e per questo la notte viene illuminata con le fotoelettriche e la si può ammirare dalla zona del borgo. Merita comunque una passeggiata (mezz'ora dal borgo camminando in tutta calma) per essere vista da vicino.

(Translated by Google) Finale Ligure is a town on the Riviera delle Palme that offers many ideas to those who are not satisfied with just sun and sea. Given its important history as the capital of a marquisate, the town presents many historical and architectural testimonies of that glorious period, and one of these is certainly Palazzo Buraggi. It is notable because it stands right on the seafront, next to the famous Arco di Margherita, and like the latter it was built at the time of Spanish domination of the area between the 17th and 18th centuries. On the facade - which presents a rather sober architecture - stands out the painted coat of arms of the family that owns the palace
(Original)
Finale Ligure è una località della Riviera delle Palme che offre molti spunti a chi non si accontenta solo di sole e mare. Data la sua importante storia come capitale di un marchesato, la cittadina presenta molte testimonianze storiche ed architettoniche di quel periodo glorioso, ed una di queste è sicuramente Palazzo Buraggi. Si nota perché sorge proprio sul lungomare, di fianco al famoso Arco di Margherita, e come quest'ultimo è stato edificato all'epoca del dominio spagnolo sulla zona tra 17emo e 18emo secolo. Sulla facciata - che presenta una architettura piuttosto sobria - spicca lo stemma dipinto della famiglia proprietaria del palazzo

Cultural landmark
Nestled in the picturesque region of Manie, Cave Arma delle Manie offers a delightful blend of history and natural beauty. This charming cave is not only a historical site where oil was once produced from a unique plant, but it also showcases ancient tools that tell the story of hard work before tourism took hold. The idyllic setting, reminiscent of Provence's mountains with the sea just nearby, makes for an enchanting visit.
Awesome timeless and unique place, great for checking out some Caves and doing some rock climbing. Id love to go back and go deeper inside the trails. Good shoes are needed, and also a lack of fear 😂
Davide B — Google review
Hi,
It was a really nice experience. I got to go to a hidden cave and find out some historical information.You can easily explore with kids and get some fantastic pictures
There's free parking, and the nearest restaurant serves some delicious food.
Nice place. Not a big Thing but nice when you're there anyway
(Translated by Google) Historical site where in days gone by oil was produced from a special plant. The plant also grows there.
There are some ancient devices on display. Interesting how people here had to work hard for a living before tourism and progress.
There is a restaurant above the grotto where you can eat and drink.
(Original)
Historische Stätte wo in vergangenen Tagen Öl aus einer besonderen Pflanze hergestellt wurde. Die Pflanze wächst auch dort.
Es sind ein paar Uralte Gerätschaften ausgestellt. Interessant wie die Leute hier vor dem Tourismus und Fortschritt ihren Lebensunterhalt hart erarbeiten mussten.
Es gibt über der Grotte ein Lokal wo man essen und trinken kann.
(Translated by Google) The setting is idyllic. The sea is very close, it's like the mountains of Provence. There really is everything on site. The owner is super nice and very attentive. We were extremely well received. Nothing to complain about. It was perfect.
(Original)
Le cadre est idyllique. La mer est tout près, est c'est comme les montagnes de Provence. Il y a vraiment tout sur place. La propriétaire est super gentille est très prévenante. On a été extrêmement bien accueilli. Rien à redire. C'était parfait.
(Translated by Google) This is not just a site of oil mills, it was a prehistoric shelter because as I had already said, Liguria is a very important site of prehistoric finds like this one, the white arenas and more.
By parking on the road you can walk for half an hour to get to the cave but you have to be careful to turn at the right time, that is, where the church is, turn right towards the trattoria the cave which is perched on the cave.
It's best not to go at sunset, it's very isolated and there is almost no phone signal
Of course, for those who didn't go after dark as I intended, they don't know what it means
The nearby car park is small and it is not possible for many to go
(Original)
Questo non è solo un sito di frantoi è stato un riparo preistorico perché come avevo già detto la Liguria è un importantissimo sito di ritrovamenti preistorici tipo questo, le arene candide e altro.
Parcheggiando sulla strada si può camminare una mezz oretta per arrivare alla grotta ma bisogna stare attenti a girare al momento giusto cioè dove c e la chiesa girare a destra verso la trattoria la grotta che sta arroccata sulla grotta.
È meglio non andarci al tramonto è molto isolato e non c è quasi segnale del telefono
Naturalmente per chi non c' è andato dopo il tramonto come intendevo io non sa cosa significa
Il parcheggio a ridosso è piccolo e non è possibile andare in tanti
(Translated by Google) Truly very beautiful, suggestive, easily accessible place, of certain interest
(Original)
Veramente molto bella, suggestiva, luogo facilmente accessibile, di sicuro interesse
(Translated by Google) Small grotto directly under the restaurant... ideal for children to play but also for parents.

Historical landmark
Castrum Perticae is a fascinating site with ruins of an ancient fortress and an adjacent deconsecrated church, offering a mix of history from Roman times to the present day. The breathtaking views of the sea and mountains make it a pleasant discovery, despite the lack of maintenance and underdevelopment for tourism in the area. Although the structures are in a state of disrepair, visiting this evocative place is still worthwhile due to its historical significance and spectacular surroundings.
(Translated by Google) A trail that combines nature, history, and spectacular views. The central section requires some effort and suitable footwear! Perfect for those who love scenic trails.

Roberta — Google review
(Translated by Google) Ancient ruins of this fortification of early medieval origin (probably Byzantine) on the top of this hill, now surrounded by vegetation. The Chapel of Sant'Antonino also stands nearby, dating back to the year 1000. All of this can only be reached with beautiful hiking routes through the bushes of the area.
(Original)
Antichi ruderi di questa fortificazione di origine altomedievale ( probabilmente bizantina ) sulla sommità di questa collina , ormai avvolti dalla vegetazione . Nei pressi sorge anche la Cappella di Sant' Antonino , riconducibile all' anno 1000 . Il tutto è raggiungibile solo con bei percorsi escursionistici tra le boscaglie della zona .
(Translated by Google) The five stars are neither for the ruins of the castle nor for the adjacent ancient deconsecrated church. Unfortunately both have been left completely abandoned and are now practically ruins. The atmosphere is truly evocative, you can sense the passage of time, but the state of the two structures is unfortunately terrible. However, going up there is absolutely worth it for two reasons. The first is the path, a very narrow semi-mule track which in many places overlooks the valley and therefore you can admire some truly breathtaking views (but be careful: the ground is strewn with leaves and very slippery stones; it is not difficult to slip and get hurt; the best thing is to equip yourself with suitable shoes, such as trekking, with a good non-slip sole and if possible even ankle-high). The second is the view from the top, next to the church, because from there you can see the entire valley, up to the sea. It feels like admiring the infinite and you feel connected to nature on a very deep level. I stopped to eat something sitting on the edge of the cliff and I can assure you that it was a very spiritual experience.
(Original)
Le cinque stelle non sono né per le rovine del castello né per l'adiacente chiesa antica sconsacrata. Purtroppo entrambi sono stati lasciati completamente all'abbandono e ormai sono praticamente dei ruderi. L'atmosfera è davvero suggestiva, si percepisce il passare del tempo, ma lo stato in cui versano le due strutture purtroppo è terribile. Salirci comunque merita assolutamente per due motivi. Il primo è il sentiero, una strettissima semi mulattiera che in molti punti è a strapiombo sulla valle e quindi si possono ammirare dei panorami davvero mozzafiato (però, attenzione: il terreno è cosparso di foglie e di pietre molto sdrucciolevoli; non è difficile scivolare e farsi male; la cosa migliore è attrezzarsi con delle scarpe adatte, tipo trekking, con una buona suola antiscivolo e se possibile anche alte alla caviglia). Il secondo è il panorama dalla cima, di fianco alla chiesa, perché da lì si vede l'intera vallata, fino al mare. Sembra di ammirare l'infinito e ci si sente in connessione con la natura ad un livello molto profondo. Io mi sono fermato a mangiare qualcosa seduto sul ciglio dello strapiombo e posso assicurare che è stata un'esperienza molto spirituale.
(Translated by Google) The place is spectacular, a few more indications wouldn't hurt, the first time I was there I passed by without even realizing it. Unfortunately, few ruins remain of the ancient castrum, however very suggestive and a short distance away there is the beautiful little church of Sant'Antonino, with a very suggestive Romanesque crypt and complete with cave (suitable only for expert personnel)
(Original)
Il posto è spettacolare, qualche indicazione in più non guasterebbe, la prima volta che ci sono stato sono passato oltre senza neanche accorgermene. Purtroppo dell'antico castrum rimangono pochi ruderi, comunque molto suggestivi e a pochissima distanza c'è la bella chiesetta di sant'antonino, con cripta romanica molto suggestiva e con tanto di grotta (adatta solamente a personale esperto)
(Translated by Google) Ruins of this ancient fortress are very characteristic and picturesque. Immediately nearby is the characteristic Chapel of Sant'Antonino. It's a shame that the area is, in general, underdeveloped for tourism... if there were a couple more signs it wouldn't hurt. In any case, the path to get there is well traced and the visit is worth it!
(Original)
Ruderi di questa antica fortezza molto caratteristici e pittoreschi. Subito vicino si trova la pure caratteristica Cappella di Sant'Antonino. Peccato che la zona sia, in generale, poco valorizzata turisticamente... ci fossero un paio di cartelli in più non guasterebbe. In ogni caso il sentiero per arrivarci è ben tracciato e la visita merita tutta!
(Translated by Google) Maybe it's because I like urbex, maybe it's because I like exploration and history, but honestly it was a pleasant discovery. A mix of history starting from the Romans up to more recent times, breathtaking views towards the sea and the mountains, easy to reach with a half hour's walk or little more. It's a shame that some maintenance is lacking and the bush vegetation has taken over. Personally it was a pleasant afternoon entertainment.
(Original)
Sarà che mi piace l'urbex, sarà che mi piace l'esplorazione e la storia, ma onestamente è stata una piacevole scoperta. Un intreccio di storia a partire dai romani fino ad epoche più mlrecenti, vista mozzafiato verso il mare e verso i monti, facile da raggiungere con una mezz'oretta di cammino o poco più. Peccato che manchi un po' di manutenzione e la vegetazione della macchia abbia preso il sopravvento. Personalmente è stato un piacevole svago pomeridiano.
(Translated by Google) Remains of an ancient medieval fortress. Difficult to reach due to an arduous path, but upon arrival it appears wonderful. Hard work is satisfying when it ends.
(Original)
Resti di un'antica fortezza medievale. Difficile da raggiungere a causa di un sentiero impervio, ma all'arrivo appare meraviglioso. Le fatiche fanno soddisfazione quando finiscono.
