Excursion to the Punta Manara Promontory
Discover the authentic beauty of the Ligurian Riviera with a scenic two-hour walk to the Punta Manara Promontory, a protected natural reserve accessible only on foot. The trail, mostly straightforward with some steep sections, starts and ends in the heart of Sestri Levante, just a few steps from our hotel.
Leaving the Hotel Grande Albergo, you can easily reach Via XXV Aprile, the town’s main street, where you’ll find the sign marking the start of the “Salita Mandrella” trail.
Immerse yourself in the scents of the Mediterranean scrub, among maritime pines and cork oaks, as you climb to the top of the promontory, where breathtaking views open onto the famous Baia del Silenzio and the ruins of the Saracen tower, 140 meters above sea level.
An authentic experience of nature, history, and sea — perfect for those who wish to explore Liguria at a slow pace with a curious eye.
