This visit was a good respite to the cold and rainy weather in Florence. Due to the exceptional sunny weather in march, many locals and tourists were out there enjoying the warmth and wonderful sights of the sea. Though we were there for only a few hours, we loved this place and will encourage anyone visiting Italy to drop by... More

Wonderful place! Absolutely worth a visit. Just a couple of kilometres from the city centre (nice walk along the seaside) this area is a little fishing village out of time. You can seat on the beach staring at the sea and enjoying a good ice-cream or loose yourself in the narrow streets and stairs between the colorful houses. Very romantic... More

I did not have time to visit Cinque Terre as it was too far from Genoa, so I went to Boccadasse instead. I am glad I went because it didn't disappoint me! This place could easily be reached by bus from the centre of Genoa. It is a small village with old but colourful houses. I find it really special... More

When I saw Boccadasse on photos back at home, I was truly stunned. But now in reality, the buildings are very old and there is an odd smell on the so-called beach. Nevertheless the crystal clear water will astonish you. Maybe I have a different view on beaches and relaxation :)

A little bit if the Cinque Terre in Genoa..... So quaint, so happy... children playing, lovers loving and old guys playing bocci and cards - maybe it was the time of day (early evening) that I was there but it was so very entertaining, licking my devine icecream and just taking in all the atmosphere of Italians doing what Italians...

It is surrounded by modern boroughs so it's really difficult to let your imagination fly, but it's still a nice place for a short walk and have an ice-cream.

A tiny fishing village very picturesque with its colorful old houses. Makes for excellent photo ops. It's name derives from Bocca (mouth) d'Asse (the old river Asse which used to flow into the sea at this location) There is a nice Gelateria or ice cream shop and one of Genoa's most famous restaurants Vittorio al Mare the food is excellent...
