Bagni Porticciolo

Tucked into a sheltered bay beneath the historic Villa Porticciolo, this small beach resort keeps things refreshingly tidy — think manicured parasols arranged on a solid masonry platform rather than a sandy scramble. Buoys ring the swimming area to hold boat traffic at bay, so the water stays calm and clear for a proper swim. It's an intimate, well-kept spot that feels a cut above your average Ligurian beach setup.
