Self-catering holiday homes: Pietra Ligure

Pietra Ligure, Italian Riviera!

The town of Pietra Ligure is located on the beautiful Palm Coast of Liguria with its contrasts of mountain walks and sunny beach fronts, possibilities to relax and opportunities to experience energetic sports and great nights out.

Pleasingly, it is a holiday destination popular with Italians and not just a town that fills up in summer with foreign tourists.

The town does have a mix of lively modern resort style accommodation as well as quieter more relaxed areas excellent for chilling out and it is in one of these that the Residence Oleandro is located.

The highlight for many will be the beautiful main Piazza with its stunning church of St. Nicholas. The Piazza is the lively evening hub of Pietra Ligure with numerous restaurants and cafes which offer lovely well priced Ligurian cuisine, so if you like your fish cooked fresh from the sea, pesto from its’ Italian home area or just basic yet beautifully cooked pizzas and pastas, you will not be disappointed.

The Cafes are perfect places to sample and immerse yourself in the relaxed, social atmosphere that makes a holiday in Italy so special. Then there's the ice-cream! You have never truly had ice-cream until you have tasted the fresh, home made Italian variety, which can be sampled from many delicious Gelaterias.

Pietra Ligure’s location is also perfect if you want to explore medieval towns such as Noli or for the kids, the fantastic Parco Acquatico with all its thrilling water rides at Ceriale, both with in easy access by car or train. Flights into Genoa allow you to either hire a car or take the coastal train and reach Pietra Ligure within an hour.

What makes this part of Liguria so special is the people and it is so worth while to just take note of some simple greetings and questions in Italian as this is like opening a door to not just a great holiday but also a fantastic and historic culture.
