Borgio Verezzi is located on the hill between Pietra and Finale Ligure, on the Italian Riviera. I often spent my holidays in this area, but I discovered this picturesque town recently. You have to take the road to the mountains to reach this city, which is only a few kilometers from the Aurelia coastal road.

Borgio Verezzi is famous for its caves, which can be visited by boat, but the locals had advised us, to continue the road always towards the top, where the city is located medieval.

We left and found two medieval neighborhoods above the current city. One is beautifully restored, with alleys and arches, and many small bars. The other, which I liked most, is located on the top of the mountain, and remained more original.

The whole city looks like it would be uninhabited, but you can see that some buildings are still inhabited. We went through the city, until we arrived near the church that was built on top of the mountain. In fact, there are three churches that were all built at different times, and the oldest one was turned into a restaurant.

After dinner in the church-restaurant, where typical dishes from the Ligurian hinterland served, we took a short walk in the woods, where wild boars live . We also had great views of the bay. When it started getting darker and we were afraid of wild boars, we went to the car, which we had parked at the gates of the city.
