Toirano Cave is a captivating show cave that offers guided tours showcasing prehistoric human footprints and cave paintings. The tour, led by knowledgeable guides, lasts about an hour and covers stunning formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, calcite, and aragonite flowers. Visitors can also marvel at a small lake inhabited by transparent and blind crustaceans as well as bear bones and human/bear prints.
Wow, the caves are amazing! Our guide was excellent, very informative, and spoke English as well as Italian. There is so much history in the caves. You probably need to visit it 2 or 3 times to take it all in. You have to make a reservation for a specific guided tour departure time.

Fascinating underground tour of the caves. Guide spoke good English as well as Italian (obviously!). Tour took about 1 hour. Ring up to book a space on the tour in advance then pay on arrival. Tickets include museum entry in local town but it was closed on the day we went. Steep walk up to the start of the tour and steps throughout the cave, then steep decent back down to the car park after. Bear that in mind. Toilets and restaurant on site.
Tom R — Google review
Nice place to visit especially when it is hot outside in the cave the temperature of air is around 15. Interesting to learn how stalactites, stalagmites and columns are created. It 7s interesting for kids as well.

I love caves and this one certainly didn’t disappoint. Stalactites, stalagmites, columns, calcite and arganite “flowers”, a little lake with transparent and blind crustaceans, bear bones and human / bear prints. The guided tour takes around an hour and you have to climb some steps, so not suitable for those with reduced mobility. Inside it’s just cool, rather than cold, so no need for thick jumpers. But you have to wear “proper” shoes; flip flops are not allowed. You can take photos without flash. You need to book your tickets in advance, either personally or by phone. You pay when you collect them - we paid 80 euro for 4 adults and 3 children. The entrance to the cave is 300m up so arrive 10 min early to collect your tickets and go up. There is sufficient, free parking on site and a little gift shop. There is also a café, which was unfortunately closed. At the time of writing this (Aug 2021), Green Passes for adults and masks inside the cave were required.

Amazing place that must see. Pre-book will be much easier this way. Also it is cold in the caves so bring a sweater with you. The entire trip is 1h .
Andrew A — Google review
I highly recommend this place to visit. It’s really incredible how everything is formed inside by nature. For visitors it’s better to reserve specific time in advance in order to avoid waiting time. However if it’s not reserved there is a good cafe with a nice team on site.

The rupestrian church dedicated to S. Lucia, located near the renowned Toirano caves, offers a unique and mystical experience. By deviating slightly from the main path, visitors can embark on a short climb that leads them to this historical site. Operated by dedicated volunteers, the shrine is open for visits on Sundays and provides an opportunity to immerse oneself in its rich history. Recently restored by the templars, this ancient church is accompanied by informative narratives detailing its significance and past contributions.
If you want nice panoramic view, only from there! 2 min up from grotte, nice old church with priest who say stories about church

(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience, with the narration and extraordinary courtesy of the Templar, guardian of the Sanctuary. From the parking lot, after a short and picturesque uphill walk, with a splendid view of the village of Toirano, you reach the Sanctuary of Santa Lucia, nestled in the rock. The Templar offers a comprehensive and interesting historical explanation for adults and children alike. I highly recommend a visit! (Original) Bellissima esperienza con la narrazione e la straordinaria cortesia del templare, custode del Santuario. Dal parcheggio, dopo una breve e pittoresca passeggiata in salita , con splendida vista sul borgo di Toirano si raggiunge il Santuario di Santa Lucia, incastonato nella roccia. Per la spiegazione storica , il templare offre una completa e interessante spiegazione per adulti e piccini. Consiglio la visita !!!!
Piero C — Google review
(Translated by Google) Impressive little cave church. The church is a small electoral church with an impressive history. The church was built into a steep rock face with a hill behind it. Former pilgrims could sleep there, fortify themselves in the small kitchen, and then move on. A very friendly church caretaker looks after the church today and tells you all there is to know about the church. The climb is possible from the car park of the stalactite cave, leading up the mountain on a paved path which is very steep in the last section and made of cobblestones. Once you reach the top, in good weather, you are rewarded with a magnificent view far into the valley. It is also worth exploring the church itself and stopping by. The church may be closed, but it has somewhat unusual opening times. Look out for the towel with the inscription SANTUARO APERTO (in English: Sanctuary Open) (photo 2) on the large outer wall. Then it is definitely open, or ask at the kiosk down by the car park. (Original) Beeindruckende kleine Hölenkirche. Die Kirche ist eine kleine Wahlfartskirche mit einer beeindruckenden Geschichte. Die Kirche wurde in eine steile Felswand mit dahinter liegender Höhe gebaut. Die ehemaligen Pilger konnten dort übernachten sich in einer kleinen Küche stärken und danach weiterziehen. Ein sehr freundlicher Kirchenwart kümmert sich heute um die Kirche er erzählt alles wissenswerte über die Kirche. Der Aufstieg ist vom Parkplatz der Tropfsteinhöhle aus möglich führt über einen geteerten Weg den Berg rauf der dann im letzten Stück sehr steil ist und aus gepflasterten steinen besteht. Mann wird oben angekommen bei schönen Wetter mit einem herrlichen Blick weit ins Tal belohnt. Auch die Kirche selbst erkunden ist es sehenswert dort vorbeischauen. Kann sein das die Kirche aber verschlossen ist diese hat etwas eigenwillige Öffnungszeiten. Ausschau nach dem Handtuch mit der Aufschrift SANTUARO APERTO (auf deutsch Heiligtum geöffnet) (Bild 2) auf der großen Außenmauer halte dann ist auf jeden Fall offen oder unten am Parkplatz im Kiosk fragen.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church in a cave. Closed on Sundays from 10:30, but if you hang a towel on the walls, it's open. Bring binoculars 😁 for those who only go to church, so they don't have to make an unnecessary trip. (Original) Bellissima chiesa in una grotta. Chiusa la domenica dalle 10:30, ma se appendete un asciugamano alle pareti è aperta. Portate un binocolo 😁 per chi va solo in chiesa, così non deve fare un viaggio inutile..

(Translated by Google) After seeing the caves, we climbed up to see the church. They were closing it, and we only managed to glimpse inside for a moment. Carved into the rock, it has no particular decorations, but it's very solemn, and it exudes the sense of peace one must experience inside a church. I don't know when they'll open it, but I think it's easier to find it closed. More opportunities should be given to see such symbolic places. (Original) Dopo aver visto le grotte siamo saliti sopra per vedere la chiesa. La stavano chiudendo e siamo riusciti per poco a vederla all'interno. Ricavata nella roccia non presenta particolari decorazioni ma è molto solenne e traspare il senso di pace chi si deve avere all'interno di una chiesa. Non so quando la aprano ma penso sia più facile trovarla chiusa. Si dovrebbe dare più opportunità per vedere luoghi così simbolici.

(Translated by Google) The sanctuary's custodian was very knowledgeable and friendly, and offered a free explanation. It's worth stopping by after visiting the caves. (Original) Custode del santuario molto preparato e gentile, con spiegazione gratuita. Vale la pena farci un salto dopo la visita alle grotte.

The Municipal Ethnographic Museum is a fascinating place to visit. If you head to Grotte di Toirano, you can receive a complimentary ticket for admission. This museum may be small in size, but it is packed with captivating exhibits. The entire tour takes no more than 15 minutes, and if you choose to visit after exploring the Grotte, entry is free of charge. It's truly an astonishing attraction that shouldn't be missed out on!
Small, but delightful and interesting museum that takes you back in time. Knowledgeable and engaging staff. Recommend!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful. A faithful historical reconstruction of life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tickets are included with visits to the Toirano Caves, but it's worth purchasing the €2 supplement to visit the historic noble residence of the Marquises Del Carretto. (Original) Bello. Una fedele ricostruzione storica della vita a fine 800 e primi 900. Biglietto incluso nelle visite alle grotte di Toirano, ma vale acquistare l'integrazione di 2€ per visitare la dimora storica nobiliare dei Marchesi Del Carretto.

Castles
Castello dei Doria is a private castle in Loano, known for its stunning views of the sea and its well-preserved authenticity. It is the ancestral home of the Doria family, who were the lords of Loano. The castle dominates Borgo Castello, an original settlement in Loano. Although not open to the public, it can be visited with a Fai card on specific days.
(Translated by Google) I was in Loano, where the sea and the alleyways are well known. This ancient part of the place remains secluded, but definitely worth seeing. The castle is private, it seems only Fai opens the doors. But the surrounding village and the nearby Monastery must be visited (Original) Sono stata a Loano, del quale si conoscono il mare e i carrugi. Questa parte antica del posto resta appartata, ma decisamente da vedere. Il castello è privato, pare solo il Fai ne apra le porte. Ma il borgo intorno ed il vicino Monastero vanno visitati

(Translated by Google) A wonderful medieval village in Liguria. It dates back to the 12th century, but in 1270 it was purchased by the Doria family, who transformed it into a large fortress. In 1744, it was bombed, leaving it in ruins. After extensive restoration, the castle is now open to the public. Visits are available for a fee. (Original) Meraviglioso borgo medievale della Liguria. Risale al XII secolo, ma nel 1270 fu comprato dalla famiglia Doria, che lo trasformò in una grande fortezza. Nel 1744 subì un bombardamento che lo rese un rudere. Dopo un lungo restauro, oggi il castello è aperto al pubblico. Si possono visitare i suoi spazi a pagamento

Diego — Google review
(Translated by Google) The village is beyond disappointing; it has nothing ancient about it; it has been renovated, preserving almost nothing of the original. As for the castle, it was not possible to visit because it is closed, but from what we could see from the outside, it seems to have been abandoned for years, with a neglected garden. No one answers the bell at the gate! I later discovered it is a FAI site, fortunately the other sites are not in such a state of neglect. I can't say anything about the interior. A real shame after the walk required to get there; finding at least two signs from the entrance would be helpful. (Original) Più che deludente sia il borgo che di antico non ha nulla, ristrutturato non mantenendo quasi nulla dell'originale . Per quanto riguarda il castello, non è stato possibile visitarlo poiché chiuso, ma da quello che si è potuto vedere esteriormente sembra che sia abbandonato da anni, giardino trascurato. Alcampanello posto dal cancello nessuno risponde!! Scoperto poi che è sito FAI,x fortuna gli altri siti non sono in queste condizioni di trascuratezza. Dell'interno non posso dire nulla. Un vero peccato dopo la camminata necessaria x arrivare, trovare almeno due indicazioni dallingresso è utile trovare.

(Translated by Google) Doria Castle ..via del Borgo Castello ...Loano. This property dates back to the early 13th century, and is still in excellent condition today and still retains its beauty and charm of a medieval castle. Its interiors still make it unique in its being, and inside it is furnished ..with furniture still from those eras and has a surface area as far as I could understand of 4840 square meters. The entire castle is made up of 3 floors ..with 30 rooms ..11 bedrooms ..8 bathrooms ..a beautiful billiard room ..a large hall ..plus the family chapel ..inside there are also the ancient prisons, and a spacious and very interesting service area. The entire property is completely surrounded by a large park ..plus a small medieval village still very well maintained. We can say that we are... inside a true piece of history in Western Liguria... immersed in tranquility, with a breathtaking sea view... and very close to the city center.

Tutto il castello e fatto su 3 piani ..con ben 30 locali..11 camere ..8 bagni ..una bellissima sala da biliardo ..un grande salone ..più la Cappella di famiglia..al suo interno si trovano anche le antiche carceri , ed una spaziosa e molto interessante zona di servizio . Tutta la proprietà e completamente circondata da un grande parco ..più un piccolo borgo medioevale ancora molto ben tenuto .

Nestled near the stunning caves, Bar-Pizzeria Le Grotte da MaMa' is a delightful spot to satisfy your cravings after exploring the natural wonders. This charming eatery offers an array of mouthwatering meat dishes and pizzas that are sure to impress. The highlight here is undoubtedly their burgers, particularly the carbonaro—a creative twist on the classic pasta dish that’s simply unforgettable.
The absolute juiciest hamburger in the world! We tried the carbonaro and the black angus. Both amazing. The carbonaro is the burger version of the famous pasta, what’s not to like? But how they implemented it is nothing short of spectacular. They serve also other dishes and they all look really good. In the evening there is also pizza. Great friendly service. They are the real attraction, the caves are secondary! We live on the eastern side of Liguria but we will have to come back often just for the food.
Sergio A — Google review
We were confused by the positive feedback and came here for lunch. Well, I DON’T recommend this place. The hamburgers were very average if not bad, simple chicken nuggets were probably the worst I have tried - grey meat and awful taste. Hot dogs were NOT good. Maybe the dinner menu is better, but for lunch - absolute no go.

(Translated by Google) We weren't expecting such a great meal in this location! The restaurant gives the impression of a typical snack bar serving guests of a tourist attraction. Far from it! The Burger Carbonaro burger is a flavor explosion, the wraps are large and delicious, the focaccia is imaginative and tasty, and the calzone is well-filled. It's definitely worth going there for dinner! And while you're there, you can also check out the grotto (and it's best to make a reservation in advance). (Original) Wir hatten ein so tolles Essen an dieser Stelle nicht erwartet! Das Lokal erweckt den Eindruck, ein typischer Imbiss zu sein, der die Gäste einer Sehenswürdigkeit bedient. Weit gefehlt! Der Carbonaro-Burger Bürger ist eine Geschmacksexplosion, die Wraps gross und gut und die Focaccia ideenreich und schmackhaft und die Calzone gut gefüllt. Zum Essen hinfahren lohnt sich auf jeden Fall! Und wenn man schon mal da ist, kann man sich auch noch die Grotte ansehen (und die Grotte dann am Besten noch vorab reservieren)

(Translated by Google) As others have noted, the restaurant is located in the square of the famous caves, so parking is very convenient and the view is beautiful. Outdoor seating is also available in the summer. Excellent, easily digestible pizzas. The meat is also very good, and the desserts are exquisite. Efficient and friendly service. It's a shame about the "music," which isn't just background music, but actually disrupts conversation; I find it completely annoying. Furthermore, I don't really understand its purpose: people go to restaurants to eat, enjoy themselves, and converse. If I wanted to be bombarded by sound, I'd go to a nightclub. (Original) Come scritto da altri il locale si trova sul piazzale delle note grotte, quindi molto comodo il parcheggio e buon panorama. In estate anche tavoli all'aperto. Pizze ottime, ben digeribili. Molto buona anche la carne e squisiti i dolci. Servizio efficiente e cordiale. Peccato per la "musica" che non fa solo da sottofondo, ma disturba addirittura la conversazione; per me assolutamente fastidiosa. Per di più non ne capisco proprio l'utilità: nei ristoranti ci si và per mangiare, star bene, conversare. Se volessi essere martellato dai suoni andrei in discoteca.

We walked in and were lucky to be seated right away. We had a pizza and langustine and shrimps pasta and some great house wine. Food was delicious but the service was even better. Got 2 shots of their home made Amaro for dessert on the house. Definitely recommend but you should be making reservations.

Very good pizza in an amazing location. The outdoor garden is immersed in the green, even the parking lot (with good capacity for the restaurant) is covered by beautiful olives trees. The pizzas we had were all excellent, fresh and good quality toppings, and the dough is very particular (almost not pizza) but excellent. Perfect service, young waiters that know what they are doing. The desserts are okay (it's probably the only thing they could do better). Pizza + beer + dessert, we spent about 17€ per person, that is quiet cheap in this area. I definitely suggest it.

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is housed in an old stable. There's plenty of parking under the olive trees. Good service. Paper tablecloths and napkins are provided, and bread is available upon request. €66 for Angus beef with potatoes, pizza, a plate of trofie, two beers, a dessert, and a cover charge. Overall, good. (Original) Locale ricavato in una vecchia stalla. Parcheggio grande sotto le piante di ulivo. Buon servizio. Tovaglia e salvietta in carta, pane a richesta. 66 euro per Angus con patate, pizza,piatto di trofie, due birre un dolce e coperto. Buono nel complesso.

(Translated by Google) I've been going to this place for years now. I'll gladly go back. The place is very welcoming, wonderful in summer when you can sit outside. Very good farinata. I really like pizza because it is particular, the excellent ingredients, the thin and light dough (so if you like it thick and thick it is obvious that it might not meet your tastes) I love it for this very reason because it is thin and very digestible . Top the "star pizza" try it! (Original) Frequento questo posto ormai da anni. Ci torno volentieri. Il luogo è molto accogliente, stupendo in estate quando si può stare nel dehor. La farinata molto buona. La pizza a me piace molto perché è particolare, gli ingredienti ottimi, l'impasto sottile e leggero (quindi se vi piace spessa e alta è ovvio che potrebbe non incontrare i vostri gusti) io la adoro proprio per questo perché è sottile e molto digeribile. Top la "pizza a stella" provatela!

Day 2

West side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the west side side of town. Start the day off with San Giovanni Battista, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Museo del Mare. All together, your day would be filled with about 3 hours of non-stop fun.

San Giovanni Battista

4.5
(292)
Catholic church
Church
San Giovanni Battista is a must-see in Loano, with its main highlight being the Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista. The church, also known as the Duomo or Cupolone, features a decagonal plan and a striking bronze dome reaching 50 meters in height. Inside, visitors can admire impressive works of art. While the exterior may not be as beautiful, the interior is definitely worth exploring.
Wonderful architecture
Serena F — Google review
A very unique and interesting church in the centre of Loano. It is dedicated to San Giovanni Battista. It is very large and has a unique shape- not many churches are shaped like this one. It has a beautiful interior too!

Giuseppe E — Google review
(Translated by Google) But how beautiful it is! It's a must see! The feeling that comes out when you enter is truly special... it's a wow! Or an ah though! I can't explain it in words... the sensations... the emotions... you have to feel them! And then outside there is a fantastic Christmas tree and a play of lights on the external floor which has a unique effect! (Original) Ma che bella è! È da vedere assolutamente! È davvero particolare la sensazione che si sprigiona quando entri... è un wow! Oppure un ah però! Non riesco a spiegarlo a parole... le sensazioni... le emozioni... bisogna provarle! E poi fuori c'è un fantastico albero di natale e un gioco di luci sul pavimento esterno che ha un effetto unico!

Piazza Italia di Loano

4.9
(9)
Piazza Italia di Loano is a beautiful and spacious square featuring the stunning San Giovanni Battista church, the oratory of Nostra Signora del Rosario, and the Town Hall. This scenic square showcases two churches, the town hall, and a tower, serving as an excellent example of seventeenth-century urban planning.

Museo del Mare

4.5
(129)
Museum
Nestled along the picturesque seafront promenade, Museo del Mare is a hidden gem managed by dedicated volunteers from the Lodanum association. This charming museum offers free entry, inviting visitors to explore its extensive collection of naval models, diving suits, photographs, and various nautical artifacts. Even during evening strolls, you might stumble upon this delightful spot—like many who have walked past it without noticing its allure. The atmosphere is vibrant; on occasion, dance lessons fill the corridors with energy.
(Translated by Google) We decided to enter by walking along the seafront. Even though it was evening, it was around 8pm. it was free access also because a dance lesson was taking place in the corridor. We were not able to visit the museum but we will certainly do so as soon as possible because we consider it interesting also from a cultural and historical point of view we will confirm this opinion or not. (Original) Abbiamo deciso di entrare passeggiando sul.lungomare . Pur essendo sera circa le 20. era libero accesso anche perché nel corridoio era in corso una lezione di danza. Non abbiamo potuto visitare il museo ma sicuramente lo faremo appena possibile perché lo riteniamo interessante anche da un punto di.vista storico culturale e confermeremo o meno questa opinione .

Ristorante pizzeria bar San Pietro a Toirano (SV)

Permanently Closed
Mediterranean restaurant
The Ristorante pizzeria bar San Pietro a Toirano (SV), an establishment famous for its Mediterranean cuisine, offers guests a pleasant dining experience characterized by delightful dishes and warm service. The staff members are friendly and attentive, ensuring that customers feel welcomed and satisfied throughout their visit. This charming restaurant is known for its excellent food quality, providing patrons with delicious options that showcase the diverse flavors of the Mediterranean region.
(Translated by Google) I have had the opportunity to eat there several times and I must say that I have never been dissatisfied, the first and second courses are plentiful, the pizza is well-stuffed without being heavy and I have tasted particular desserts that surprised me. At the table I always found hand sanitizer to disinfect myself and a basket of bread while waiting for the dishes. The owner is delightful and accepts suggestions in order to improve the quality of service, which is rare given that in other restaurants the customer always seems to be wrong. The value for money is much more than satisfactory. 5 stars for the experience, I will continue to go there (Original) Ho avuto modo di mangiare varie volte e devo dire che non sono mai rimasta insoddisfatta, primi e secondi sono abbondanti, la pizza è bella farcita senza risultare pesante e ho assaggiato dolci particolari che mi hanno sorpresa. Al tavolo ho sempre trovato igienizzante mani per disinfettarmi e un cestino di pane in attesa dei piatti. La proprietaria è deliziosa e accetta suggerimenti al fine di migliorare la qualità del servizio, cosa rara dato che in altri ristoranti il cliente sembra avere sempre torto. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è molto più che soddisfacente. 5 stelle per l'esperienza, continuerò ad andarci

(Translated by Google) Let me start by saying that I'm sorry to give this review, because the owner is very nice and kind, but poor food, tasteless fried fish, poor and poor despite being expensive, not even a slice of lemon, not a wipe to clean yourself after eating, not a plate to store the scraps, they charge a cover charge and they didn't even bring a piece of bread, breadsticks, nothing at all, the only good thing was the pizza. not recommended. (Original) Premetto che mi spiace dare questa recensione, perché la titolare è molto carina e gentile, però cibo scadente, fritto di pesce sciapo, scarso e povero pur costando caro, nemmeno una fetta di limone, non una salvietta per pulirsi dopo aver mangiato, non un piatto per riporre gli scarti, fanno pagare il coperto e non hanno portato nemmeno un pezzetto di pane, dei grissini, niente di niente, l'unica cosaacosa buona e stata la pizza. sconsigliato.
