Last week we went to visit the Ligurian coast or the Italian Riviera. We've heard that it is the best time to see it in March as it gets overly crowded during summer and neither of us likes that.

After a short stop in Savona, we headed to the picturesque village of Portofino where we decided to stay overnight on land in the wonderful Hotel Splendido.

The weather was great and I must say that out of all coasts, the Ligurian one is the most beautiful to admire from the sea. It has lush vegetation, great mountains and colorful villages pecked on its coast.

Our boat is still there, although now we took a pause but we will return next week to travel to Sardegna and on the Adriatic afterwards.
