Some 30 km from Genova, eastward, the Portofino Mountain is a fantastic resort for likers of free walking in the nature.

The wonderful environment of the mediterranean thicket allows the discovery of enchanted points of view over the gulfs on the two sides of the mountain: the Paradise gulf and the Tigullio gulf.

There, famous, worldwide known sea resorts lie, as Camogli, Santa Margherita, Rapallo. Since all of them are easily reachable by train you may want to find your hotel there, instead than in Genova itself.
