“Sestri Levante, a pearl between two bays”

In the heart of the Italian Riviera, Sestri Levante enchants visitors with its unique position: a jewel suspended between the famous “Bay of Fables”, so loved by Hans Christian Andersen, and the magical “Bay of Silence”, a true corner of poetry.

Here, every day offers a new experience.
It’s the energy of water sports, the thrill of free climbing on the majestic cliffs of Riva Trigoso, and the lively nightlife of the trendy venues along the charming “budello”.
It’s tradition, reborn in local festivals, colors, and scents that fill the city’s streets.
It’s the peace of the natural harbor of Portobello, nestled among olive groves and Mediterranean scrub.
It’s the wonder of Punta Manara, where nature embraces the sea in breathtaking harmony.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find in Sestri Levante the perfect starting point for excursions to Punta Manara, Punta Baffe, or along scenic trails leading to the Portofino Natural Park and the iconic Cinque Terre, easily reachable by train or boat during the summer season.

Throughout the year, the town comes alive with events for every taste:

• The Blues and Soul Festival on May 1st,
• The “Johann Sebastian Bach” Piano Competition,
• The world-famous Andersen Award, dedicated to children’s literature,
• The spectacular Barcarolata, a parade of illuminated boats in the Bay of Silence,
• And the traditional Sagra del Bagnun, featuring free tastings of the typical local dish made with fresh sardines and tomato.

For art and culture lovers, Sestri Levante offers a journey through time: the Church of San Nicolò, the Basilica of Santa Maria di Nazareth, the Capuchin Monastery with its permanent nativity scene, Palazzo Fasce (now the city library), the Rizzi Art Gallery, and Palazzo Cambiaso, often hosting exhibitions and cultural events.

Once again awarded the Blue Flag, Sestri Levante is synonymous with crystal-clear waters, sustainability, and quality of life.
Pedestrian areas, cycle paths, lush green spaces, and top-quality hospitality make every stay an experience of wellbeing and harmony.

And for shopping lovers?
Between elegant boutiques and artisan workshops in the historic center, every stroll becomes a pleasure.
Just a short drive away, Brugnato Outlet Village and Serravalle Designer Outlet complete the perfect mix of sea, relaxation, and style.

Sestri Levante: a continuous emotion of sea, nature, culture, and taste.
Come and discover the pearl between two bays.
