Location & what to see

Da Higgins is located along Via Aurelia Ponente, the coastal road connecting Santa Margherita Ligure to the nearby villages, in a residential area a few minutes from the heart of the town and its seafront. The neighbourhood is quiet but well connected, with local shops, bars such as Sunflower and Bar Papiluc, and traditional restaurants such as Da Nello and Vittoria about 600-700 metres away.

The beach of Santa Margherita Ligure can be reached on foot in a few minutes, about 650 metres away, while Prelo Beach and San Michele di Pagana Beach are just over 900 metres away. The Santa Margherita Ligure-Portofino railway station is 600 metres away and connects in a few minutes to Rapallo and, with a change, to Genoa; Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 28 km away, just under an hour by car. The historic centre with its small harbour is a short walk away, as is the Flauto Magico Park at 550 metres.

Those staying here can dedicate the summer days to the sea and to boat trips towards Portofino, just a few kilometres away, or towards the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, which can also be reached on foot along the coastal paths in about an hour. In the cooler months you can walk the paths of the Valle dei Mulini or climb up to Castello Brown, above Portofino, for a panoramic view over the gulf.
