Villa rentals in Liguria, Italy

The province of Liguria sweeps across the northwestern coast of Italy in a thin ribbon connecting the French Riviera with the northern reaches of Tuscany. It is one of Italy's smallest regions, though not its least exciting by any measure. Both Christopher Columbus and pesto were born here, in the hillside city of Genoa. While Genoa is ripe with art and history, most villas in Liguria are nestled on a stretch of Riviera on either side of the city. Glamorous Liguria villas by the seaside attract a crowd similar to the ones that gather at Cannes and Monte Carlo, who indulge in its string of beaches and trattorias, where seeing and being seen is the order of most days. Villas in Liguria can be found in both of the Riveria's two distinct sections - the Riviera di Ponente in the west and the Riviera di Levante in the east, bounded on one side by the Cinque Terre ("the Five Lands"), a set of five secluded fishing villages clinging precariously to the spectacular coastline.

Liguria villas mimic the style of the region - elegant and picturesque, with charms hidden around every corner. You can sip espresso in the morning and amaretto in the evening on your Liguria villas private terrace, people-watch or star-gaze from your Liguria villas pool, or wander the cobbled streets in the villages just outside your Liguria villas door. Most villas have a personal staff to keep your holiday care free, an easy task where the attitudes impersonate the lazy bobbing of yachts in the harbor.
