Liguria is a very scenic region of North West Italy that is bordered by France to the west, Piedmont to the north, Emilia Romagna and Tuscany to the East and a small section to the sea. Steep cliffs line the coastline as well as some gorgeous little fishing towns like Portovenere and Sanremo tucked into crevices along it. There are four provinces in Liguria; Imperia, Savona, Genoa and La Spezia.

Visitors have a vast choice of luxury holiday villas in Liguria to choose from where they can experience a lovely relaxing stay away from the stresses of modern life!
