Top 21 things to do and attractions in Lavagna

(Translated by Google) Right next to the left side of Piazza Marconi where the Basilica of Santo Stefano overlooks, there is a beautiful work commissioned by the wealthy Nicola Brignardello who left a quarter of his assets, created in Chile, to build a portico with an overlying terrace for public use. Legend has it that the well-known lavagnino wanted to create a passage that would allow him to reach the cemetery without having to pass in front of the Basilica of Santo Stefano and had this portico built. The works began and ended between 1894 and 1898 The portico has one entrance to the south and two to the east. The portico space is currently used for cultural events such as concerts, plays, exhibitions and food and wine events. It certainly integrates with the square and makes it even more beautiful. Definitely worth seeing when you are in Lavagna. Highly recommended visit. Thank you For those who love Latin like me...... "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo" (Original) Proprio a fianco sinistro di piazza Marconi dove si affaccia la Basilica di Santo Stefano sorge una bellissima opera per voluta dal facoltoso Nicola Brignardello che lasciò un quarto del suo patrimonio, creato in Cile, per costruire un porticato con sovrastante terrazzo ad uso pubblico. La leggende narra che il noto lavagnino volesse creare un passaggio che gli permettesse di raggiungere il cimitero senza dover passare davanti alla Basilica di Santo Stefano e fece erigere questo porticato. I lavori iniziarono e terminarono tra il 1894 e il 1898 Il porticato ha un ingresso a sud e due ad est. Lo spazio del porticato viene attualmente usato per manifestazioni culturali come concerti, recite, mostre ed eventi eno-gastronomici. Sicuramente si integra con la piazza e la rende ancora più bella. Sicuramente vale la pena di vederlo quando siete a Lavagna. Visita molto consigliata. Grazie Per chi ama come me il latino...... "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo"

Surrounded by a beautiful garden, where you can visit a very particular nativity scene during the Christmas period, set up by Bronzino's friends*, with figurines sculpted and hand-painted by the sculptor-painter Roberto Folli.

Found this bay on the last morning of our stay in Sestri and had to stop and eat at a little osteria on the beach. It was so lovely and tranquil we ended up staying a lot longer than we had anticipated, but it was well worth it. Definitely worth a visit

Our agency didn't abandon us for a moment, it found us a studio apartment in centre, the flight has been postponed several times, reassured and followed up until your return.

Small sandy beach. Accessible public beach without hassle. Flanked by two equally small private areas where you may rent sun beds with parasols. Stay away from the nearby creek for health reasons. The water is not crystal clear, but OK. Great place for kids. Public shower available.

One of the best place of Liguria.

Amazing sight Italy's largest recreational boat port , supermarket & restaurants. available also boat repairs.

A lovely, sunny, winter's day on the beach. Beachcombing and bouncing stones into the sea.

Lovely, family friendly vacation spot on the Italian Riviera.

Ok.

Wonderfull

(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed visiting the Basilica of Sestri Levante. It is located in the historic center of the city. It is an imposing white building, easily spotted. Starting from the main square, walking a short distance you will find the Basilica of Santa Maria di Nazareth, dating back to the 17th century, when the small village decided to expand and take the form it has today . However, the facade as we see it now dates from 1837-1840 and was built in a neoclassical style, refined and linear, as was the art of the time. Only two bell towers remain from the original core, which, however, were only decorated later and therefore offer a very interesting mix of different eras. The history of the building is even older, as verified testimonies report that a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary was already there in 1368. I advise you not just to look at the exterior facade, but to cross the threshold and lose yourself in the splendor of the Interior, which also houses a famous wooden Pieta by Aton Maria Maragliano. I recommend this visit. I am attaching some photos. Please put a thumbs up, a smiley etc... under the review or photos. It's always nice to get nice feedback. Good ride. Eric Tison. F57 Féy (Metz. Moselle. France). (Original) J'ai bien aimé visiter la Basilique de Sestri Levante. Elle est située dans le centre historique de la ville. C'est un imposant bâtiment blanc, facilement repérable. En partant de la place principale, en parcourant une courte distance, vous trouverez la basilique de Santa Maria di Nazareth, datant  du 17e siècle, lorsque le petit village a décidé de s'agrandir et de prendre la forme qu'il a aujourd'hui. Cependant, la façade telle qu'on la voit actuellement date de 1837-1840 et a été construite dans un style néoclassique, épuré et linéaire, comme le voulait l'art de l'époque. Il ne reste que deux clochers du noyau d'origine, qui n'ont toutefois été décorés que plus tard et offrent donc un mélange très intéressant entre les différentes époques. L'histoire du bâtiment est encore plus ancienne, car des témoignages vérifiés rapportent qu'une chapelle dédiée à la Vierge Marie s'y trouvait déjà des 1368. Je vous conseille de ne pas vous contenter de regarder la façade extérieure, mais de franchir le seuil et de vous perdre dans la splendeur de l'Intérieur, qui abrite également une célèbre Pieta en bois d'Aton Maria Maragliano. Je recommande cette visite. Je joins en annexe quelques photos. Svp mettre un bravo, un smiley etc... sous l'avis ou les photos. C'est toujours agréable d'avoir des retours sympathiques. Bonne balade. Éric Tison. F57 Féy (Metz. Moselle.France).

(Translated by Google) This basilica is located in the center of Sestri and not far from the sea. After the neoclassical touch of the facade, inside - richly decorated - baroque prevails and there are some paintings worth considering (one by Fiasella). (Original) Questa basilica si trova in centro a Sestri e a poca distanza dal mare. Dopo il tocco neoclassico della facciata, all'interno - riccamente decorato - prevale il barocco e sono ospitate alcune tele da considerare sicuramente (una del Fiasella).

(Translated by Google) A beautiful neoclassical church on the outside, Baroque on the inside, filled with remarkable paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries. The altar carving is beautiful, but at the time of writing, the wooden Christ is on display in the diocesan cathedral for the 2025 jubilee. (Original) Bellísima iglesia neoclásica por fuera, barroca por dentro, llena de pinturas apreciables de los seiscientos y setecientos. La talla del altar es bellísima, pero al momento de escribir estas líneas, el Cristo de madera se encuentra expuesto en la catedral de la diócesis por el jubileo del 2025.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful corner. Clean, warm water. In December, people bathe. Sestre Levante. (Original) Piękny zakątek. Czysta, ciepła woda. W grudniu się ludzie kąpią. Sestre Lewante.

(Translated by Google) Stunning example of neoclassical with baroque decorative signs. The church is located at the end of the typical alleyway of Sestri Levante, overlooking a square with a view of the splendid Baia del Silenzio. Inside there are beautiful frescoes and an altar by master sculptors of the eighteenth century. (Original) Stupendo esempio di neoclassico con segni decorativi baroccheggianti. La chiesa si trova alla fine del tipico carrugio di Sestri Levante, affacciata su una piazza con vista sulla splendida Baia del Silenzio. All'interno bellissomi affreschi e un altare opera di maestri scultori del Settecento.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful basilica where the paintings and illuminations are sublime. (Original) Une très belle basilique où les peintures et enluminures sont sublimes.

We enjoyed a guided tour around this small charming house where the Carbone family lived from the late 1800's. During the summer they also offer prosecco, wine, Bellini's to buy and enjoy the charming garden on Tuesday and Friday evenings. National Trust and FAI members get in free.

Great visit, really interesting house in the middle of Lavagna. We had a knowledgeable English speaking guide who showed us around, making sure we didn't miss things. I would highly recommend a visit.

Super

(Translated by Google) It is a house museum managed by the FAI, which cannot be visited every day, but only on weekends and holidays, through a guided tour of about an hour. The part open to the public is that of the first floor (hall, lounges, dining room, kitchen and two bedrooms) and the part of the ground floor, originally a garage, renovated by FAI itself. The spaces are quite narrow, so you can only visit in small groups. There are no objects of exceptional value, however it is always pleasant to enter a historic home, furnished as the owners wanted and where it seems that time has stopped. The small internal garden is also lovely, the only survivor of a much larger green area that surrounded the building, complete with an olive grove, which has now disappeared. (Original) Si tratta di una casa museo gestita dal FAI, non visitabile ogni giorno, ma solo nei we e nei periodi festivi, attraverso una visita guidata di circa un'ora. La parte aperta al pubblico è quella del primo piano (sala, salottini, sala da pranza, cucina e due camere da letto) e la parte del pian terreno, originariamente un garage, risistemato dallo stesso FAI. Gli spazi sono abbastanza stretti, quindi si visita solo in piccoli gruppi. Non sono presenti oggetti di eccezionale valore, tuttavia è sempre piacevole entrare in una dimora storica, arredata così come volevano i proprietari e in cui sembra che il tempo si sia fermato. Grazioso anche il piccolo giardino interno, unico superstite di una ben più vasta area verde che circondava la palazzina, con tanto di uliveto, oggi scomparso.

(Translated by Google) I think the "evening aperitif" is a wonderful initiative. It allows for a relaxing moment in a quiet and very charming place. The welcome is very warm. The appetizers could be improved. (Original) Trovo che " l'aperitivo serale" sia una bellissima iniziativa. Consente un momento di relax in un posto tranquillo e molto suggestivo. Molto calorosa l'accoglienza. Migliorabili gli stuzzichini dell'aperitivo.

(Translated by Google) Yes, visit the apartment on the first floor, really nice, and furnished with original furniture. It can be visited independently in about 20 minutes (entry 5 euros) or with a guide (40 minutes with an addition of 4 euros). (Original) Sì visita l’appartamento al primo piano, davvero carino, e arredato con mobilio originale. È visitabile in autonomia in circa 20 minuti ( ingresso 5 euro) oppure con una guida ( 40 minuti con aggiunta di 4 euro).

(Translated by Google) Beautiful guided tour organized by FAI. A unique example of its kind to come into contact with the habits and customs of the Ligurian bourgeoisie of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. 9 euros well spent! (Original) Bellissima visita guidata organizzata dal FAI. Un unicum nel suo genere per entrare a contatto con gli usi e i costumi della Borghesia ligure di Ottocento e Novecento. 9 euro ben spesi!

(Translated by Google) A visit to the park of the same name is recommended. The palace hosts an exhibition on the ground floor and numerous rooms furnished with period furniture. The 19th-century kitchen is particularly interesting. (Original) Da visitare in abbinamento al parco omonimo. Il palazzo ospita una mostra al piano terra e numerose stanze arredate con mobilio d'epoca. Molto interessante la cucina ottocentesca.

(Translated by Google) «It is the most important museum in the city. The container itself represents an element of interest, because Palazzo Rocca Costaguta is an architectural treasure: a historic residence that became the heritage of the Municipality of Chiavari at the beginning of the twentieth century. The palace was built starting in 1626 on commission from the Marquis Achille Costaguta who gave the official commission to the architect Bartolomeo Bianco. It was then purchased by the Grimaldis, the Pallavicinis, and finally in 1903 by Giuseppe Rocca, who took care of having it renovated and modernized, also annexing the still existing botanical park. Rocca then left it to his fellow citizens. The main floor of the building, used as a Civic Gallery, presents a collection of art objects, local craftsmanship and textile wallpapers that are significant and characteristic of the taste of living at the beginning of the 20th century. The picture gallery of the palace is, however, almost entirely seventeenth-century, with paintings from the Genoese and Flemish schools, with artists such as Orazio De Ferrari, Jan Roos and Domenico Piola. The Baroque is present with some great names who frequented the Republic of Genoa and worked for the most important families: Strozzi, Valerio Castello, Grechetto. The Museum boasts a considerable number of "chiavarine", the famous chairs from Chiavari. One floor of the building is dedicated to temporary exhibitions." 𝓚.𝓢 😊 💕 (Original) «È il museo più importante della città. Già il contenitore rappresenta un elemento d'interesse, perché Palazzo Rocca Costaguta è un tesoro d'architettura: una dimora storica divenuta patrimonio del Comune di Chiavari all'inizio del Novecento. Il palazzo venne costruito a partire dal 1626 su commissione del marchese Achille Costaguta che diede l'incarico ufficiale all'architetto Bartolomeo Bianco. Venne poi acquistato dai Grimaldi, dai Pallavicini, e infine nel 1903 da Giuseppe Rocca, che si occuperà di farlo ristrutturare e ammodernare, annettendogli anche il parco botanico tuttora esistente. Rocca lo lasciò poi ai suoi concittadini. Il piano nobile dell'edificio, adibito a Galleria Civica, presenta un insieme di oggetti d'arte, di artigianato locale e parati tessili significativi e caratteristici del gusto dell'abitare degli inizi del XX secolo. La Quadreria del palazzo è, invece, quasi interamente seicentesca, con tele di scuola genovese e fiamminga, con artisti come Orazio De Ferrari, Jan Roos e Domenico Piola. Il barocco è presente con alcuni grandi nomi che frequentarono la Repubblica di Genova e lavorarono per le più importanti famiglie: Strozzi, Valerio Castello, il Grechetto.

The ticket doesn't cost much and it's worth it for what you will see. Have a good visit While we briefly retrace the history of this palace, it was owned by the Costaguta family, then sold to the Grimaldi family and then ended up in the hands of the Ranieri family. In 1900 it was resold to the Rocca family who in turn donated it to the municipality of Chiavari who opened it first as a museum and then expanded visits to tourists who still appreciate its beauty today.

(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed visiting the Fascie Rossi Palace in Sestri Levante in Liguria (Italy). It's impossible not to notice this palace when passing by! It is a distinctive red structure, striking for its unusual shapes inspired by Genoa's Mackenzie Castle, which in the early 1900s was a real landmark for those who wanted to build modern buildings with a recognizable style. Today it occupies two rather prestigious foundations, that of the civic library, which houses ancient and modern volumes, and that of the Musel Civic Museum, which tells the history of the city since the prehistoric era and partly of the region. by presenting many decidedly interesting objects from the excavations. We will note some very pretty old photographs of people and informative films on the evolution of the region. I am attaching some photos.

Elle occupe aujourd'hui deux fondations plutôt prestigieuses, celle de la bibliothèque civique, qui abrite des tomes anciens et modernes, et celle du Musée Civique Musel, qui raconte l'histoire de la ville depuis l'ère préhistorique et en partie de la région en présentant de nombreux objets résolument intéressants sortis des fouilles.

In Lavagna I got married at the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora del Ponte and then right at Palazzo Franzoni A little history.... Palazzo Franzoni in Lavagna was built in 1696 and today is the seat of the Town Hall of Lavagna. Left neglected, it was purchased at the beginning of the twentieth century by an Argentinian emigrant returning to Lavagna In 1907 it became a hotel and only in 1931 was it purchased by the municipality of Lavagna which made it its headquarters I love this beautiful palace and I have had the opportunity to visit it several times....Some rooms are fantastic Now from time to time I go there for work or for personal documents I highly recommend visiting it Convenient paid municipal parking and many disabled spaces From here you then enter the historic center of Lavagna up to Santo Stefano... Very highly recommended Thank you (Original) Sono ormai quasi 30 anni che vivo a momenti alterni a Lavagna Ho la mia Casa a Livorno in via degli Scarronzoni proprio in faccia ai due Comandi....La casa è di due piani e dalla parte più alta vedo la Torre della mia Folgore e il mare Ma a Lavagna viveva quella che è diventata mia Moglie....A Lavagna mi sono sposato al Santuario di Nostra Signora del Ponte e poi proprio a Palazzo Franzoni Un po' di Storia.... il Palazzo Franzoni di Lavagna è stato costruito nel 1696 e oggi è la sede del Municipio di Lavagna. Lasciato è trascurato fu acquistato agli inizi del novecento da un emigrato in argentina di ritorno a Lavagna Nel 1907 divenne un albergo e solo nel 1931 fu acquistato dal comune di Lavagna che ne fece la Sua Sede Amo questo bel Palazzo e più volte ho avuto occasione di visitarlo....Alcune stanze sono fantastiche Ora di tanto in tanto ci vado per Lavoro o per documenti personali Consiglio vivamente di visitarlo Comodo parcheggio comunale a pagamento e molti posti disabili Di qui si entra poi nel Centro storico di Lavagna fino a Santo Stefano...

Worth a couple of hours visit. Not all beach is for dogs, only the corner of it. Water warm, 'rolling stone' type of beach. The best of it, is for free. Downside, no toilets nearby.

One of the few beaches in the area where dogs are allowed. Therefore quite busy as the area is not too big. There where a lot of dogs so I think our little friends like it most here as they can play around constantly... it was a bit hard to fiend but thanks to Google we found it :-)

It's a nice place to spend at the sea with your 🐕. There is only one thing..it is really small. There is not enough space for all the people who want to come to the beach. But!!!!! It's good to have at least such place coz in Liguria its hard to find a dog friendly beach

not so suggested to go for the seaside, not so beautiful in this part of Liguria

Winter picnic on the beach. Lovely!!

The sea here is very clean and the views are stunning.

(Translated by Google) A small and pleasant Ligurian village in the summer, it offers few services in other periods of the year. Compared to other nearby areas, prices are significantly lower. Well served by public transport, if you want to avoid using the car, given the shortage and cost of parking.

Rispetto ad altre zone limitrofe, i prezzi sono sensibilmente più contenuti. Ben servito dai mezzi pubblici, se si vuole evitare di utilizzare l'auto, data la penuria ed il costo dei parcheggi.

(Translated by Google) A very small, cute town without any major attractions. It's great for swimming and visiting the surrounding towns. It's well connected by bus and train. It's nice that you mostly meet Italians here. There are no high-rise hotels. There are nice restaurants and small shops. However, you can't go on a big shopping trip here. We found it very cozy. (Original) Sehr kleines, niedliches Städchen ohne große Sehenswürdigkeiten. Schön zum Baden und die umliegenden Städte zu besuchen. An Bus und Bahn gut angebunden. Schön ist, dass man hier vor allem Italiener trifft. Keine Bettenburgen. Nette Restaurants und Miniläden. Großeinkauf geht hier allerdings nicht. Wir fanden es sehr gemütlich.

(Translated by Google) Small quiet village with equipped beaches and restaurants a little expensive, but where you eat well. The hinterland offers beautiful vegetation with walkable paths with wonderful glimpses of the sea. (Original) Piccolo borgo tranquillo con spiagge attrezzate e ristoranti un po' cari, ma dove si mangia bene. L'entroterra offre una vegetazione bellissima con sentieri percorribili con scorci di mare meravigliosi.

(Translated by Google) A small seaside village suitable for families with children, traffic is limited. There are excellent restaurants, such as Raieú Cà Melia and Melograno, but you can also dine overlooking the sea at Bagni Mignon, Giovanni, and Annamaria. The village has a long beach, partly sandy and partly pebbly, served by five facilities with lifeguards, umbrella and lounger rentals, canoes, and SUPs. It's a very quiet place, although it comes alive with festivals and concerts during the summer months. The sea is crystal clear (Blue Flag), and water aerobics and swimming lessons are available. (Original) Piccolo borgo marinaro adatto a famiglie con bambini, il traffico nel borgo è limitato, vi sono ottimi ristorantini.come Raieú Cà Melia e Melograno, ma è possibile cenare vista mare ai bagni Mignon, Giovanni e Annamaria. Il borgo possiede una lunga spiaggia in parte sabbiosa e in parte di ciotoli servita da 5 strutture dotate di sorveglianza di salvataggio, noleggio ombrelloni e lettini canoe e sup. Località molto tranquilla anche se nei mesi estivi è animata da sagre e concerti. Il mare è cristallino (bandiera blu) ed è possibile praticare acquagym e corsi di nuoto.

(Translated by Google) A great place by the beach where you can enjoy delicious food and drinks. With a variety of dishes to choose from, there's something for everyone. They haven't forgotten about children, with a menu for them as well. Best regards to the entire team from Poland; we'll definitely be back. (Original) Fajne miejsce przy plaży gdzie można dobrze zjeść i napić się co kto lubi. Różne potrawy do wyboru, każdy cos wybierze dla siebie. Niezapomniano też o dzieciach, dla nich również jest menu. Pozdrowienia dla całego zespołu z Polski na pewno wrócimy.

(Translated by Google) A small, welcoming village just steps from the sea (Original) Un piccolo borgo accogliente a due passi dal mare

(Translated by Google) I live alternating months or years in other cities in Italy or abroad in Lavagna, where my mother-in-law bought a house over 25 years ago. The house was a villa, which at the time was in the countryside, less than 2 km from the sea. Now divided into three floors plus a roof terrace with a shared tower, it's just a few dozen meters from the Maddalena Bridge. The Maddalena Bridge is over the Entella River. It connects Chiavari and Lavagna and is 250 meters long with six arches. When it was built, it was made of wood and had 33 arches. It was dedicated to Saint Erasmus, patron saint of sailors, and was called the "Ponte del Mare" (Sea Bridge). The stone bridge was built in 1210 by Ugone Fieschi. It is said that Dante Alighieri crossed the bridge on his way to Lavagna and described it in the Divine Comedy, "Between Siestri and Chiaveri flows a beautiful river" (Purgatory, XIX, 100-101). The bridge owes its new name to the Chapel of the Magdalene on the Chiavari side, where the bridge begins. It has stood the test of time and is now accessible by car and on foot. A must-see. Highly recommended. Thank you. (Original) Vivo a momenti alterni con mesi o anni in altre città in Italia o Estero a Lavagna dove mia Suocera ha comprato Casa da oltre 25 anni. La casa era una villa, che ai tempi era Campagna a meno di 2 km dal mare ora divisa in tre piani più la terrazza sul tetto con la torretta comune, a poche decine di metri dal ponte della Maddalena Il ponte della Maddalena è sul fiume Entella Unisce Chiavari e Lavagna ed è è lungo 250 metri su sei archi Quando lo hanno costruito era in legno e aveva 33 archi. Era dedicato a S.Erasmo patrono dei marinai e si chiamava "Ponte del mare Il ponte in pietra è stato costruito nel 1210 da Ugone Fieschi. Si narra che Dante Alighieri in cammino verso Lavagna percorse il ponte e lo descrisse nella Divina Commedia “Intra Siestri e Chiaveri s'adima una fiumana bella” (Purgatorio, XIX, 100-101). Il ponte deve il suo nuovo nome alla cappella della Maddalena sul lato di Chiavari da dove inizia il ponte Ha resistito negli anni ed oggi è percorribile in auto ed a piedi. Una tappa da non perdere. Molto molto consigliato Grazie

(Translated by Google) A historic bridge where Dante Alighieri passed, in fact in the center there is a plaque with the writing Intra Sïestri and Chiavari is a beautiful river Dante (Original) Un ponte storico dove è passato Dante Alighieri infatti al centro c'è una targa con scritto Intra Sïestri e Chiavari s'adima una fiuma bella Dante

(Translated by Google) This bridge is certainly more durable than the modern one. (Original) Sicuramente regge più questo ponte che quello di fattura moderna

(Translated by Google) The arcades of the historic center are beautiful. Clean. Tidy. Ohhh finally a town that takes care of its historic center, well done! It's worth a trip to Chiavari. (Original) Belli i portici del centro storico. Puliti. Ordinati. Ohhh finalmente una cittadina che cura il centro storico, bravi! Merita un giro a Chiavari.

(Translated by Google) Liveable, clean, something completely different from big cities. (Original) Vivibile, pulito tutt'altra cosa delle grandi città.

(Translated by Google) I would describe it as an elegant city, with its beautiful porticoed buildings, its clean and tidy streets and squares, its majestic Cathedral, the historic Palace of Justice in Piazza Mazzini, where the daily food market takes place, and the Villa Rocca Park. (Original) La definirei una città elegante, con i suoi bei palazzi coi portici, le stradine e piazzette tutte pulite ed ordinate, la maestosa Cattedrale, lo storico Palazzo di Giustizia in Piazza Mazzini, dove si svolge il quotidiano mercato alimentare, il Parco di Villa Rocca..

They are so greedy that they won't even let you take a photo on their beach.

Traditional lido beach. Crowded on week end. Bar and restaurant.

Unfriendly staff

(Translated by Google) This is the second year that we go there, we had a very good time on both occasions, the beach is tidy and quiet, the beach is very well kept and the spaces are large (for being in Liguria). Very kind and friendly staff, truly beautiful sea. Valid! (Original) Questo è il secondo anno che ci andiamo, ci siamo trovati molto bene in entrambe le occasoni, lido ordinato e tranquillo, la spiaggia è tenuta molto bene e gli spazi sono ampi (per essere in liguria). Personale molto gentile e cordiale, mare veramente bello. Valido!

(Translated by Google) Friendly and helpful staff, nice place, good food. (Original) Personale simpatico e disponibile, posto bello, cibo buono.

(Translated by Google) Very kind and attentive staff, good food. Highly recommended. (Original) Personale gentilissimo e attento, buona la cucina. Consigliatissimo.

(Translated by Google) €60/day = 2 sunbeds + 1 umbrella low season price, new management! (Original) 60€/giorno = 2 lettini + 1 ombrellone prezzo bassa stagione, nuova gestione !

(Translated by Google) Bath a stone's throw from the pine forest, with a volleyball court in the sea, rocks where you can dive and an enchanting place with crystal clear water. You can eat from starters to sandwiches or enjoy an aperitif with friends at sunset. Average prices for the period and place, I don't know the prices of the stay. I recommend it even just to spend a day of pure relaxation. (Original) Bagno ad un passo dalla pineta, con campetto di pallavolo nel mare,scogli dove ci si può tuffare e posto incantevole con acqua cristallina. Si può mangiare dai primi ai panini oppure godersi un aperitivo in compagnia al tramonto. Prezzi nella media del periodo e del luogo,non conosco i prezzi del soggiorno. Consiglio anche solo per passare un giorno di puro relax.

(Translated by Google) We discovered this beautiful beach by chance. It stands out from the others because, for us, the location is special—there aren't 500 loungers lined up in a row. The staff and owners are very friendly. They accommodate their guests, and if you only want to lie on the beach for 1 to 2 hours, the price is reasonable. While at almost all other beaches, you feel like you're being ripped off. (Original) per Zufall haben wir diesen schönen Strand entdeckt. Hebt sich ab von den anderen, da für uns die Lage besonders ist, nicht 500 Liegen in einer Reihe stehen. Sehr freundliches Personal/Inhaber. Hier kommt man den Gästen entgegen, wenn man nur 1 bis 2 Stunden am Strand liegen möchte ist der Preis günstig. Während man bei fast allen anderen Stränden das Gefühl hat abgezockt zu werden

(Translated by Google) Unlike the presentation of the bathroom which makes you not want to enter (lots of signs listing a lot of prohibitions) The aperitif isn't bad, a bit lacking in appetizers. No table service. Beautiful view of the sea. (Original) Al contrario della presentazione del bagno che fa passare la voglia di accedere (un sacco di cartelli che elencano una marea di divieti) L'aperitivo non è male, un po' scarno di appetizer. Nessun servizio al tavolo. Bella la vista sul mare.

(Translated by Google) Sunbeds without sunshades, on the strait. Minimal shower. Fair prices. Access to the sea either from a small beach or from a walkway over the rocks. The sum ..... (Original) Lettini senza para sole, sullo stretto. Doccia minime. Prezzi corretti. Discesa a mare o da spiaggetta o da passerella sopra i massi. I somma .....

(Translated by Google) quiet, with bar and buffet. a little spartan. the umbrellas are too close together, there isn't even room to pass. the (cold) showers are reserved for seasonal workers and there are only 2 for the entire establishment, furthermore one of them almost never works and they are also a little dirty.😕 I confirm, the cold showers this year are truly indecent, one doesn't work and 10 minute queues form for a shower that lasts 15 seconds (Original) tranquillo, col bar e buffet. un po' spartano. gli ombrelloni sono troppo vicini fra loro,non c'è nemmeno il posto per passare. le docce (fredde) sono riservate agli stagionali e sono solo 2 per tutto lo stabilimento inoltre una di queste non funziona quasi mai e sono anche un po sporchine.😕 confermo, le docce fredde quest anno sono veramente indecenti ,una non funziona e si formano file di 10 minuti per una doccia che dura 15 secondi

(Translated by Google) 17 euros for two loungers, OK, that's normal. But paying extra for showers? No, it's included at most other beaches. Otherwise, top-notch. (Original) 17Euros für 2 Liegen, ok ist Normal. Aber fürs Duschen nochmals bezahlen? Nein, ist bei den meisten anderen Stränden inbegriffen. Sonst Top

(Translated by Google) Great waitresses. Nice place to relax and good beer. Beach services are great and cheap! (Original) Brave le cameriere. Bel posto per rilassarsi e buona birra. I servizi in spiaggia sono ottimi ed economici!
