Visit the Lighthouse of Genoa and the Via Garibaldi
Start your trip with a visit to two amazing venues in Genoa. The famous Lighthouse of Genoa is easily located as it looms 76m tall over the Bay. This stone tower has Medieval origins and you can stroll around the Museum. Drive to the famous Via Garibaldi, this historic street is a UNESCO listed site and features palatial residences, museums and magnificent Renaissance palaces.
Set off to Rapallo on the scenic coastal road
Head out of Genoa on a 30km drive along the A12 to Rapallo. Enjoy the plush, quiet interior of your Mercedes GLS which creates a sense of calmness and tranquillity. Children will love the easy-to-use Infotainment system and the driver feels totally at ease with a host of Driver Assist Features and Safety Features at his fingertips.
Stop in Rapallo and enjoy brunch at Bansin, specialising in traditional Ligurian comfort food. Try the spinach-stuffed pasta with walnut sauce. After your meal explore the famous Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montallegro. This iconic religious site features a shrine that was built in the 1500’s. It can be accessed by cable car or an old mule trail if you are fit! Drive to the Castello Brown, a 16th century castle and museum with a stunning view. Wander around and admire the rare art and antiques.
Continue to Sestri Levante
Continue your drive to Sestri Levante, a lovely seaside village. Stop at Spiaggia Baia del Silenzio, a small bay beach where you can take a dip in the ocean to cool off. Then relax on the sand on beach chairs under a colourful umbrella and enjoy the views. After your rest on the beach, stroll around the walled Old Town. It is famous for its olive groves and olive production and you can buy a bottle of extra virgin olive oil to take back with you.
See the stunning villages of Cinque Terre
Your drive continues to Cinque Terre, a unique landscape with five ancient fishing villages perched at breathtaking heights on the cliffs overlooking the azure blue ocean. The buildings seem to hang tenuously off the rocks and are painted in colourful pastel shades. The best way to explore this UNESCO heritage site is to park your car and stroll down to the waterfront. Take a trip on a boat with a local fisherman and see the breathtaking sights from the water. A camera is a must!
When you arrive back on land, you are sure to be hungry. Set off to Enoteca Dau Cila in the village of Riomaggiore. They offer speciality dishes made of locally sourced ingredients like fish, lemons, homemade pasta and herbs. Relax on the patio and be inspired by the charm of the region and the amazing water-side views.
Stay overnight at the Hotel Cinque Terre, a relaxed establishment in the village of Monterosso. Drive back to Genoa in the morning in your Mercedes GLS. We can collect your rental whenever you are ready to return home. We can also arrange to collect your car in another city of you are continuing to Milan or Bologna. We fit in with your itinerary.
