Hiking with Kids in Liguria: Valloria to Tavole
Painted doors, hidden works of art, enchanting little alleyways and an ancient woodland trail connecting two of the loveliest villages in the hills behind Imperia.

Caffè Piccardo in Imperia – A Coffee House Full of Stories
Right in the lively center of Oneglia, beneath the arcades of Piazza Dante, sits a café you shouldn't simply walk past. Caffè Pasticceria Piccardo is far more than a bar for a quick espresso.

Ristorante U Titti, Lingueglietta – a place worth making the trip for
There are restaurants you visit. And there are restaurants you set out for. U Titti belongs firmly in the second category. High up in the Ligurian village of Lingueglietta, far from the noise of the coast, what awaits you is not a culinary spectacle but something far rarer: stillness, depth and a kitchen with both talent and conviction.
