Borgio
Verezzi is a treasure trove of uncontaminated habitats (sea,
olive groves, vineyards, almond trees) and listless
artistic resources. Borgio is the coastal settlement,
its narrow alleys coiling up to the beautiful 18th
century church of San Pietro, whereas Verezzi is set
high on the hillside (200 mts.), a Saracen defensive
hamlet boasting the most scenic of views (a 5-minute
drive along sharp hairpin bends from the sea) and (since
1967) a renowned Summer Theatre Festival. Miss nots
include the intriguing caves of the Rio Valdemino,
explored in 1933 by three young locals who left their
signature on the grotte’s walls.
