Synopsis

This up-to-the-minute new edition of Cadogan’s guide to a dazzling part of Europe includes a brand new section on Piemonte. Elegant Turin and the alpine landscapes of the Valle d’Aosta are also covered for the first time, in engaging detail. The Italian Riviera offers a vast range of attractions from lounging on glamorous beaches and visiting the casinos of San Remo to seeking out the delights of Genoa’s medieval quarter. The guide gives the lowdown on how to get where you want to be, with great tips on avoiding the crowds.

Specially selected listings of over 200 places to stay and over 180 restaurants, bars and cafes make finding the most charming hotels and stylish tables a breeze. A full touring map section and 18 town and site plans help you find your way around, and a full colour photo section makes a beautiful introduction to the guide.

From the Publisher

Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls’ understanding of Italy speaks through every page of this facinating new edition. They are experts on Italian culture, art and architecture, and highly entertaining essays complement the invaluable practical information the guide has to offer.

Dana and Michael lived in Italy for many years, and have written all of Cadogan’s Italy series. They know the region they write about intimately, and can take you behind the tourist facades to family tavernas, little-known villages and breathtakingly secluded landscapes.
