One of the most beautiful coastal regions in Italy, stretching between Monaco and Tuscany and with a dramatic range of mountains as its backdrop, Liguria is also one of the least visited. Our new tour has been planned to introduce the region and its main city Genoa to new visitors. Genoa was a great maritime centre which was ruled by powerful Doges for five hundred years. It became one of the wealthiest cities in Europe and this legacy is apparent today in its historic centre with its magnificent palaces built for fabulously rich and powerful families. We will take time to explore the rugged coastline and go to the area known as le Cinque Terre – the five villages. There will also be time to relax and enjoy the pretty harbour town of Rapallo overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio. We stay in the centre of this picturesque town at the elegant 5 star Hotel Excelsior Palace. The palm trees, pastel-coloured villas and beautiful gardens of this stretch of coastline make it one of the most exotic and opulent in the entire Mediterranean.

Overlooking the colourful marina and just 500 metres from the centre of picturesque Rapallo and its beach, the Excelsior Palace is the grandest hotel in town.
