The Millenary Church of Ruta is a national monument.

The Millenaria di Ruta is a church that has shaped the history and landscape of the Eastern Ligurian Riviera. Founded in the 12th century along the ancient Via Aurelia, at an altitude of approximately 270 meters, it served as a rest stop and transit point for merchants and pilgrims heading to Genoa. Its strategic location, in the heart of the Portofino Natural Park, offers breathtaking views stretching from Camogli to the Golfo Paradiso. This simple and sober stone church housed for centuries an altarpiece by the Flemish painter Joos van Cleve, a masterpiece brought to Liguria thanks to Genoa's flourishing trade. The original work, for safety reasons, was removed and is now housed in the Galleria Nazionale di Palazzo Spinola in Genoa. Today, the Millenaria is not only a historical but also a naturalistic landmark, serving as the starting point for numerous trails that wind through the Portofino promontory, offering visitors the opportunity to explore a unique landscape of Mediterranean scrub and breathtaking views.

This must be the cliché image of the Italian Riviera. It has everything!

Great trattoria, back garden. Old fashioned cooking!

Our tour of the Ligurian Levante makes a short stop in Rapallo to dust off old memories and then continues towards Recco through an internal road full of ups and downs but which allowed us to discover some enchanting small villages

The Spinarola Pass connects the area of Recco, Avegno and Uscio with the Val Fontanabuona and over the centuries has been the first crucial point of passage from the coast to the hinterland in this area of the Levant. Today it also represents the starting point for many beautiful excursions on the ridge of the first band of mountains of the Apennines that run parallel to the coast, with open views both of the sea and of the subsequent curtains of mountains towards the interior. The pardonal bridge was recently reopened thanks to the restoration work carried out by a group of volunteers, who named it after the unforgettable actor Aldo Fabrizi, who used to holiday in the nearby Colonia Arnaldi.

The Portello Pass is located at 1040m above sea level and connects the upper Trebbia Valley with the Fontanabuona Valley. From the pass you can enjoy an open view which, sweeping over the mountains, reaches all the way to the sea.
