I\u2019d like to start by saying that we absolutely love Framura<\/strong>! It\u2019s one of the places we choose to spend our free time and where we take friends<\/strong> who come to visit us. That\u2019s why we recommend it to all our guests. <\/p>\n\n

Framura is one of Italy\u2019s Most Beautiful Villages<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, and that alone is reason enough to visit: the historic center, consisting of four small villages perched along the hillside<\/strong>, has preserved the authenticity<\/strong> of traditional Ligurian villages, with their characteristic colorful facades and steep stairways winding through vegetable gardens and vineyards down to the sea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Along the coast, you\u2019ll find Il Porticciolo and the beaches of Torsei, Vall\u00e0, and Arena,<\/a> which can be reached by walking along a spectacular boardwalk over the rocks, the Via del Mare<\/a>. Access to all the beaches is free. <\/p>\n\n

How do you get to Framura?<\/strong> On foot<\/strong> along the hillside trails, by train<\/a><\/strong> (an 8-minute ride, \u20ac2.20 one-way, one train per hour), or by car<\/strong> (about 35 minutes): the road offers scenic views but is quite winding, and once you arrive, finding parking isn\u2019t always easy.<\/p>\n\n

We recommend cycling<\/strong> there along the Maremonti bike path<\/a><\/strong>, which connects Levanto to Bonassola and Framura. The route is about 6 km long and winds through old train tunnels, offering spectacular views of the sea<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Once you reach the end of the bike path<\/strong> and have secured your bike with the provided lock, you can head down to the small harbor<\/strong> via the elevator or the staircase. The Framura Harbor is the perfect spot for budding fishermen<\/strong> armed with a net and for parents<\/strong> looking to enjoy an aperitif with a view of the sea<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

If you don\u2019t want to miss out on Framura\u2019s historic center<\/a><\/strong> but don\u2019t feel up to tackling a steep climb, we recommend taking the bus<\/strong> that departs from the station square (ticket price: \u20ac1.50; tickets can be purchased at the ticket machine in the waiting area or at the tourist information desk on the first platform). In just 10 minutes<\/strong>, you\u2019ll arrive in Costa<\/strong>, Framura\u2019s highest and most scenic village.<\/p>\n\n

From there, you can walk down a series of stairways that connect the villages<\/strong> until you reach the sea (it will take about an hour without stopping).<\/p>\n\n

From Costa, head down to Setta and Ravecca<\/strong>; among ancient towers and colorful houses, you can enjoy truly enchanting views of the sea. In Setta, I recommend an aperitif or dinner <\/strong>at the bar in the Piazzetta or at the deli Le Cose Buone<\/a><\/strong> (true to its name!), which offers traditional Ligurian dishes<\/strong> to enjoy outdoors on the terrace<\/strong> across the way, surrounded by trees and with a view of the local church. Parents<\/strong> can relax over dinner while the kids run free through the village<\/strong> (there are no cars) discovering countless hidden corners\u2014fun for the whole family! <\/p>\n\n

From Ravecca, the road descends to Anzo and finally to the sea.<\/p>\n\n

The historic center<\/strong> will amaze you with its tranquility<\/strong> (Framura is less well-known than the Cinque Terre but just as beautiful) and the authentic atmosphere<\/strong> you can feel around every corner.<\/p>\n\n

There are plenty of other things to do in Framura, such as wine tastings<\/a> in the vineyards, e-bike<\/a> tours, boat trips, stand-up paddleboarding, or jet-skiing (which can be rented at the Porticciolo<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n

Finally, we\u2019d like to highlight the summer events calendar<\/a><\/strong>, which is carefully curated and packed with activities (theater, literature, film, and music). The summer concludes with the Festa del Turista (the last Saturday in August), a walking dinner through the streets and small squares of the historic center, where you can sample traditional Ligurian dishes at each stop. <\/p>\n\n
