The territory
The Petronio-Valley, situated behind the coast which stretches out from Sestri Levante to Moneglia, offers fascinating mountain landscapes and at the same time, along the paths which are trailing between pines and chestnut trees, stunning views of the Tigullio Gulf. The walking paths extend for more than 90 km, some of them follow antique „Conci“, the medieval lanes which in former times were Roman routes.
