The Italian Riviera is a beautiful stretch of coastline in the northwest of Italy, stretching from the French border round to Tuscany. It’s home to stunning scenery and chic resorts, which you’ll explore during a series of day trips from your lovely four-star hotel. There is so much to discover, from the region's remarkable history and wonderful landscapes to fabulous beaches and delicious food and wine. The highlights of your holiday are sure to be the exclusive resort of Portofino and the breathtaking beauty of the Cinque Terre, and we’ve also included a fascinating trip to a shimmering marble quarry. Everyone’s idea of a perfect holiday is different, so we’ve built plenty of free time into the itinerary too. Time for you to head off and enjoy a quiet drink or a leisurely stroll in a different part of town. We have even set aside several days for relaxing by the pool or on the beach, however, if that’s not for you, our optional excursions give you a chance to explore even more.
