Die 5 schönsten Orte in Ligurien: Wo man leben, besuchen und investieren kann
Ligurien ist eine Region mit bunten Küstenstädten, mittelalterlichen Dörfern, Olivenhainen und spektakulären mediterranen Ausblicken. Vom französischen Grenzgebiet bis zum Golf der Poeten hat jeder Teil der Region seinen eigenen Charakter und bietet eine andere Art, das italienische Leben zu erleben. Aber welche sind die schönsten Orte in Ligurien? Für einige ist der perfekte Ort eine lebhafte Küstenstadt mit Restaurants, Stränden und allem, was man braucht, in der Nähe. Für andere ist es ein kleines historisches Dorf, umgeben von Natur, wo das Leben langsamer verläuft. Wir haben fünf Orte ausgewählt, die einige der verschiedenen Seiten Liguriens einfangen – darunter drei Standorte, an denen Sie derzeit Immobilien auf Zoulou finden können.
1. Sanremo – Elegant Mediterranean living
Known as the City of Flowers, Sanremo is one of the most famous towns on the Ligurian Riviera. Its mild climate, palm-lined waterfront and elegant atmosphere have attracted visitors from across Europe for generations.
The town combines beaches, restaurants, cafés and shops with the character of its historic centre, La Pigna. Sanremo is also famous for its casino and the annual Sanremo Music Festival, giving the town a lively cultural calendar throughout the year.
For those looking for a property in Liguria, Sanremo offers plenty of variety. You can choose the convenience of being close to the centre or look towards the surrounding hills for more space and panoramic Mediterranean views.
A sea-view penthouse in Sanremo
One example is this fourth-floor penthouse with lift, located approximately 2 km from the sea. The apartment is in excellent condition and is sold furnished, offering two bedrooms, a living room with open kitchen and a beautiful 60 m² terrace with sun awnings.
The property also benefits from independent heating, air conditioning and communal parking spaces. For anyone dreaming of outdoor living in Liguria, the large terrace and sea-facing position are particularly appealing.

2. Rapallo – Life on the Gulf of Tigullio
On the eastern Riviera, Rapallo combines the atmosphere of a traditional Ligurian seaside town with the convenience of a lively year-round community.
The town's waterfront and harbour are at the heart of local life, while the historic centre is filled with restaurants, cafés and shops. Its position on the Gulf of Tigullio also makes it an excellent base for exploring nearby Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino.
For those considering living in Liguria, Rapallo offers an appealing balance between coastal beauty and everyday practicality. You can enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle while having the services and connections of a larger town.
A bright renovated penthouse with a large terrace
A particularly interesting example is this renovated four-room penthouse, located on the third floor of a building without a lift.
The bright apartment has three bedrooms, a study with walk-in closet and three bathrooms, together with an open-plan living area and kitchen. Parquet flooring, designer frosted-glass doors and double-glazed aluminium windows give the interior a modern feel.
The highlight is the approximately 70 m² terrace, equipped with a wooden canopy and roller blinds, creating a comfortable space for outdoor lunches and relaxing in the open air. Several rooms also have small balconies.
The property includes a private garage with an area in front, as well as a communal parking space, and has independent heating.

3. Tellaro – A hidden gem on the Gulf of Poets
At the eastern end of Liguria, Tellaro is a small seaside village overlooking the Gulf of Poets. Colourful houses, narrow lanes and rocky coastline create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from larger Riviera towns.
The village is known for its traditional fishing heritage and the Church of San Giorgio, which stands directly beside the sea. Its intimate atmosphere makes Tellaro particularly appealing to those looking for tranquillity without giving up the beauty of coastal living.
Tellaro is also ideally positioned for exploring the Gulf of Poets, with Lerici and other beautiful coastal destinations nearby.
A renovated apartment with a private sea-view garden
Just a short distance from the marina, this recently renovated apartment occupies the ground floor of a small building and has been redesigned by an architect using high-quality materials.
The property has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, together with a kitchen and living room opening directly onto a 140 m² private garden.
The garden is one of the property's defining features. It provides generous outdoor space and beautiful sea views, creating an ideal setting for enjoying the Mediterranean climate.
The apartment also has two separate entrances and comes with a private parking space — a particularly valuable feature in a small coastal village where parking can be limited.

4. Finalborgo – Medieval charm in Savona province
The beauty of Liguria is not limited to the coast. Just inland from Finale Ligure, Finalborgo offers a completely different experience.
Surrounded by medieval walls, the historic centre is filled with stone buildings, narrow streets and charming squares. Historic churches and elegant buildings reflect the village's long history, while cafés and restaurants bring life to its streets today.
The surrounding landscape is equally attractive, with green hills, forests and trails offering opportunities for walking and cycling.
Finalborgo is a reminder that some of the most beautiful places in Liguria can be found away from the sea, where history and nature become an important part of everyday life.
5. Apricale – A peaceful village in the Ligurian hills
In the hills of western Liguria, not far from the French border, Apricale is a small medieval village surrounded by olive groves and green valleys.
Stone houses and narrow caruggi follow the hillside, opening onto small squares and viewpoints across the surrounding landscape. The village has preserved much of its traditional character while remaining a living community.
The atmosphere here is very different from the larger coastal towns. Life is slower, the surroundings are quieter and the connection with traditional Ligurian life is particularly strong.
For those looking for an authentic village experience surrounded by nature, Apricale is one of the most beautiful places in Liguria to discover.
Finding your place in Liguria
What makes Liguria so special is the variety of lifestyles available within a relatively small region.
Sanremo offers elegant Mediterranean living, while Rapallo combines the beauty of the Gulf of Tigullio with the convenience of a lively town. Tellaro provides a more intimate seaside experience, where the village and the sea are closely connected.
Further inland, Finalborgo and Apricale reveal another side of Liguria, characterised by medieval architecture, green landscapes and a slower pace of life.
Whether you are looking for a sea-view penthouse, a home with a large private garden or a property in a historic village, exploring the different towns and landscapes of Liguria is the first step towards finding the right place for you.
