The village of Deiva Marina is splendidly located half way between Portofino and the Cinque Terre, in a gorgeous setting among the Mar Ligure, the Apennines and the valley of the torrente Castagnola. The settlement is made up of two parts: the historical centre (whose first core was built in the Early Middle Ages), dominated by the parish church and traversed by narrow carruggi, and the Marina, a more recent district by the sea.
Everywhere, the style of the Genoese architectures rule - colourful façades dotted by lively windows boast their trompe l’oeil character. Highlights feature the widest beaches (sand and cobbles) of Liguria and a sea of blue, awarded FEEE Blue Flag more than once.
The landscape is the triumph of Mediterraneity, a breathtaking alternation of promontories and inlets, steep cliffs and tiny bays. Thus, seaside relaxation and water sports meet trekking and excursions in the verdant entroterra, through a maze of creuze crisscrossing the flanks of the hills – discover an uncontaminated habitat cherished by the scent of lemons and the whisper of trees. This unique mix of sea and mountains, forged through the centuries, and the mildest of climates define the guidelines of a healthy life style, respectful of nature, which finds its truest expression also in a hearty cuisine du terroir (a blend of sea , orchard and forest produce).
Linked to the main resorts of the Riviera by an effective transportation network and endowed with tourist services and facilities, Deiva Marina is the ideal destination for a “discovery holiday” – and the perfect starting point for excursions throughout Tuscany and Liguria, always far from the madding crowd.
In this enchanted village Liguria shows its range of colours, scents and atmospheres – not to forget the opportunity of practising an array of sports activities (from water sports to MTB, climbing, tennis and horseriding) and a cornucopia of cultural events. Definitely, a pleasant lively vacation!>
