This province, located about 35 km from Genoa, is surrounded by hills, covered with Mediterranean foliage. Santa Margherita Ligure boasts a variety of beaches: sand, stone and pebble, picturesque coves and welcoming private bathing areas. Santa Margherita Ligure is that wonderfully old-fashioned kind of Riviera resort where palm fronds wave along the esplanade and foreign visitors spend a week or two out of season, enjoying the balmy climate, attractive views and comfortable long-established hotels. There are wide ranges of hotels and restaurants, and a selection of good daytrips to make if you get tired of pottering along the laidback seafront. Bars, cafes, gelaterie and restaurants are spread along the seafront.
Good daytrips from 'Santa' include Portofino, the picturesque San Fruttuoso Abbey, the resorts of Camogli and Rapallo, Genoa and the Cinque Terre.
Paraggi is a small bay in the greenery at few minutes from Portofino, that is possible to reach by walk. It is a natural harbour where right on its white sand is possible to have Your wedding dinner and Your symbolic ceremonies
