Spring in Liguria

What an explosion of colors and scents is Springtime in Liguria!
A special season to fall in love with this region with a rough but generous character, which gradually reveals itself to those who can appreciate its perched villages, the paths overlooking the sea, its simple and genuine cuisine. Don’t be in a hurry, get lost among the creuze, the ancient paths that lead from the hill to the sea, explore the coast and the hinterland, look for old botteghe and trattorie, let yourself be bewitched by its luminous beauty.
Whatever your interests, culture, nature, gastronomy, Liguria will surprise you, and at Villa Paggi you will find a welcoming refuge for a break of escape and relaxation. Immerseded in a green and peaceful setting, surrounded by a flowery garden, this bright apartment is at your disposal, equipped with every comfort, a kitchenette and a large sunny terrace overlooking the sea.
If when thinking about holidays the first image that jumps to your mind is boots and backpack, here is an idea for you: an excursion with Wildhorsewatching. What is it about? It is a unique opportunity to observe, accompanied by an environmental guide and expert naturalist, a herd of wild horses that live in the Aveto Regional Park and have had no contact with humans for generations.

Art addicted cannot miss the exhibition on Monet at the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, with exceptional works from the Marmottan Museum in Paris, which houses the largest collection of paintings by this great impressionist artist. Some of his most famous masterpieces will be present, including the famous Ninfee (1916-1919) and Le rose (1925-1926), which the painter never wanted to sell, but always kept with him in his house in Giverny.
