Nestled on the western stretch of the Italian Riviera, Pietra Ligure is a delightful seaside town that captures the essence of Liguria. With its palm-lined promenade, colourful houses, sandy beach and relaxed atmosphere, it offers a wonderful balance between Italian coastal life and a rich cultural heritage.
The historic heart of Pietra Ligure is a maze of cobbled streets and pretty squares, dominated by the striking 12th-century Basilica of San Nicolò. Wandering here, you’ll discover family-run shops, traditional trattorias and cafés serving fresh focaccia, pesto dishes and, of course, Ligurian wines. The town takes its name from the great stone fortress (“pietra” in Italian), built in Roman times and later strengthened as a medieval castle, which still watches over the old centre today.
Beyond the town itself, Pietra Ligure makes a perfect base for exploring the wider Riviera di Ponente. The coastline is blessed with golden beaches and dramatic cliffs, while inland you’ll find olive groves, terraced hillsides and timeless villages. This is Liguria at its best – a region celebrated for its natural beauty, mild climate and delicious cuisine.
Whether you choose to relax by the sea, stroll along the elegant promenade, or take short trips to nearby gems like Finale Ligure, Alassio or Savona, Pietra Ligure is a place that embodies the slower rhythms of Italian coastal life. For those looking for a mix of sun, history and authentic flavour, it is a destination that charms at every turn.
