Holiday Rentals in North Italy, visit Liguria

Chances are, you’ll be unfolding your own red, white, and blue umbrella, pitching it into the white, powdery sand and sipping a lime daiquiri or refreshing white Italian wine while staring off into the charming sea. Liguria is one of the most stylish and extravagant yet relaxing beach destinations in Italy, they don’t call it the “Italian Riviera” for nothing. When in Liguria, live like the Ligurians and settle in for a while. Apart from just lounging in the sun on the beach and watching the beautiful waves splash the sand, there are a variety of fun and exciting things to do here. Genoa is the capital of the region and it is a classy and cosmopolitan capital at that. It is also less packed out by tourists making a visit more relaxed.
