Hotels in Italian Riviera, Italy

The Italian Riviera stretches along the Ligurian Sea in northwest Italy, famous for its pastel-colored cliffside villages like Cinque Terre and Portofino. With mild winters around 50°F (10°C) and warm summers averaging 80°F (27°C), spring and fall are perfect for hiking the Sentiero Azzurro trail between Riomaggiore and Manarola, while summer invites swimming at Camogli's sandy beach. In winter, you can explore Genoa's medieval old town and sample fresh pesto for fewer crowds and lower prices.
