Sanremo Food Tour
A 3-hour walk through the caruggi, the narrow alleyways in La Pigna, Sanremo’s old town, to discover the tastes, scents and flavours of the western riviera and Sanremo’s specialities. Who would have thought that just a stone’s throw from the Ariston there is an incredible world of flavours, stories and traditions with sites of historical-artistic interest and street food that our guide will make even more interesting. A Sanremo made up of unexpected glimpses that make this experience more than just a food and wine tour.
Experience Tour of the “Prea Runda”
An E-Bike excursion starting in Sanremo with a route that will take you the short distance from the coast of Sanremo to the hilly and mountainous area of Pigna in the Nervia Valley, following a path that encompasses the splendid villages of Bajardo and Castelvittorio, two small jewels of the far western Ligurian coast. With its old mule tracks and narrow roads, the route is of a length and difference in altitude that can be tackled by everyone, even novices and families.
Chef for a day in Sanremo
Become a chef for a day in the City of Flowers: what a dream! Supervised by a professional chef, you will prepare your own dish, choosing between pesto and tiramisu. Your guide will stay by your side during preparation, giving you tips and tricks to prepare a delicious dish. Once finished, you can enjoy a three-course lunch (starter, main course and dessert), accompanied by drinks and coffee.
Sanremo Golf Experience
Play golf in Sanremo, at one of the oldest, most prestigious clubs in Italy, the Circolo Golf degli Ulivi, founded in 1932. And when you’ve hit the last ball on the green, the Royal Hotel Sanremo, which opened back in 1872, awaits you in a prime seafront location, just a few steps from the sandy beach, the Casino and the city centre. There, a true ‘Royal Wellness’ awaits you with numerous relaxing and beauty treatments, a true paradise for body and mind! At the Royal you can also enjoy a relaxing, elegant beach holiday…
Discovering Bussana Vecchia, the ghost village
Just outside Sanremo there is a place where time has stood still. In 1887, a severe earthquake destroyed almost all the houses in Bussana, an ancient Ligurian village, and claimed many victims among the worshippers gathered in the church for a religious service. For about 70 years, the old village was abandoned and was rebuilt further down the valley, Bussana Nuova. However, in the 1960s, a community of artists and craftsmen from all over Italy and Europe renovated some of the buildings and their studios can still be found there today. A trip to Bussana Vecchia is a plunge into the village’s memory, providing continuous surprises with artistic installations and corners full of mystery and charm.
