The best areas to stay in Valle Santa are Chiavari for its historic centre and seaside promenade, or the more secluded areas towards the hills for a tranquil retreat.


Chiavari is the main town in Valle Santa and offers a blend of historic charm and coastal relaxation. Its pedestrianised historic centre, known as the "Carrugi," is lined with arcaded walkways, artisan shops, and traditional Ligurian restaurants. The Lungomare, or seafront promenade, is superb for evening strolls and offers views of the Ligurian Sea. You'll find a good selection of quality accommodation here, from boutique hotels to well-appointed apartments.


For couples, Chiavari provides a delightful base. You can enjoy romantic dinners in the historic centre, explore the local market for fresh produce, or simply relax on the beach. The town is also well-connected by train, making day trips to nearby Portofino or the Cinque Terre straightforward.


Alternatively, for those seeking a more tranquil and secluded experience, consider staying in the smaller hamlets and hillside villas just outside Chiavari's main town. These areas offer stunning views of the valley and sea, often featuring private gardens and swimming pools.

The best time to go to Valle Santa is during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, and September to early October.


During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty without the intense heat or larger crowds of mid-summer. You'll find comfortable temperatures for hiking along the coastal paths, exploring the hilltop villages, and relaxing by the sea.


Couples seeking a romantic getaway will particularly appreciate the quieter atmosphere of these times. You can enjoy strolls through the olive groves, leisurely meals at local trattorias, and the stunning sunsets over the Ligurian Sea with more tranquillity. The cultural experiences, like visiting the historic churches and local markets, are also more enjoyable without the peak season bustle.


For travellers interested in outdoor activities such as cycling or walking, these shoulder months offer superb conditions. The paths are less crowded, and the mild temperatures make physical activity much more enjoyable.
