トルノロの洞窟・トップ4

A beautiful village perched in the Ligurian Apennines. It's worth stopping to see the well-preserved walls of the Malaspina Fieschi Doria Castle, for an excellent coffee at Bar Leon D'oro, and especially for the "Gobeletti" pastries from the Chiesa pastry shop.

Stunning views and panoramas

The historic center of Varese Ligure is truly surprising in its urban structure, to the point of deserving the nickname Borgo Rotondo. The medieval building plan, which is due to the Fieschi, had a defensive purpose. In the center is the castle, with its high and sturdy walls. Around it, the houses are arranged in rows following the round curvature of the square, with porticos on the ground floor that allowed access to the shops and warehouses (some of which have now been transformed into public places). Also very interesting are the recently restored eighteenth-nineteenth century buildings with polychrome facades, which recall the pictorial decorations of the past. Furthermore, Varese Ligure is at the center of the Val di Vara biodistrict.

The Malaspina-Doria castle is probably the most beautiful castle in the Aveto valley. Located in Piazza del Popolo in the center of Santo Stefano d'Aveto, it belonged to the Malaspina family and Admiral Andrea Doria.

Located in the characteristic village of Compiano, this fortification dating back to the 9th century can only be visited on certain days of the week.

Point from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of a country that blooms again in summer. The Apennine peaks, including Monte Crociglia, stand out in the background.

Fantastic village, with its fabulous castle. To visit absolutely
