Tailor-made
tours are perfect for groups of friends, families or colleagues.
No group size is too small or too large. You set your
own dates, decide where and how long you want to stay,
and how much or how little you want to do.
We offer the maximum amount of flexibility and cater for
every budget. Whatever you want to do in Liguria, physical
activity, mental activity or pure relaxation, the choice
is yours. You might choose an activity for every day of
your stay, or perhaps you prefer to simply relax, stroll
around the local markets or play a round of golf.
Below are few ideas and activities
that you can sample. Tours can be all-inclusive or designed
to suit your individual requests.

DISTILLING
LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL

and romantic setting for a farm holiday. In August, it is
possible to take part in the distillation process to produce
lavender essential oil carried out using antique stills
from the 1920's. On the farm, set near the city of Imperia
on the ‘Riviera dei Fiori‘, you can stay in
comfortable, rustic apartments, that are within a few minutes
of the sea and offer unique views of the wide green landscape.
