Here, you can relax as you stroll up the charming narrow streets to the Madonna della Ceriola monastery, where you’ll be treated to a magnificent view of the vast surrounding countryside. A drive along the winding, rocky coastal roads to charming historic towns such as Lovere and Sulzano is also highly recommended for culture lovers.
