Italy is a stunning holiday destination with many regions to explore, history to learn and culture to get to know - not to mention the authenticity of its food.  The Mediterranean country welcomes millions of tourists every year - but many tend to explore the beaten path, heading to the more famous holiday hotspots such as Rome, Florence and Milan. 

However, the country also hides gems waiting to be discovered by those seeking a quieter, more authentic experience. One such hidden gem is located in Italy’s picturesque Liguria region, offering breathtaking sea views and pristine pebble beaches. Liguria is also famous for its rich culinary culture, with unique dishes such as pesto, corzetti, pansotti, and trofie.
