Location & what to see

Un coccodrillo a FrAsSiNo is located in Calizzano, a small town in the inland area of Savona surrounded by woods and Apennine hills, in a quiet residential area far from coastal traffic. The property’s garden and terrace overlook a hilly landscape that makes the stay suitable for those seeking a slower pace, away from the summer crowds of the Ligurian coast.

For those traveling by car, Giogo di Toirano is about 5 km away, while the Toirano Caves are about 27 km away and Baia dei Saraceni about 31 km, just over half an hour’s drive toward the sea. In the immediate surroundings, within 1-1.5 km, there are a few restaurants such as La Verna and Pizzeria Ristorante Odissea, convenient for dinners without needing a car. The nearest railway stations, Priola and Pievetta, are about 8-9 km away, while those arriving by plane can rely on Riviera Airport, about 20 km away, or the Cuneo-Levaldigi and Genoa-Sestri airports, both over 50 km away.

In winter, the area is suitable for walks and hikes on the first Apennine heights, with Giogo di Toirano as a reference point for trekking enthusiasts. In summer, the proximity to the sea allows visitors to alternate days in the hills with day trips to the beaches of the Riviera delle Palme and the famous Toirano Caves, a classic destination for families and those curious about speleology. The area thus proves versatile, able to combine the quiet hinterland with the livelier Ligurian coast.
