- Camogli, Italy stars in this travel vlog about the Italian Riviera and one of Liguria’s prettiest villages along the coast near Genoa and Portofino. Camogli Italy on the Italian Riviera will charm you with its beauty and dreamy setting by the turquoise sea. Camogli is a small coastal village with a history intricately tied to the sea.
This Italy travel guide takes you to Camogli’s location on a pebbled beach between Genoa and Portofino, where its dramatic position hugs the Portofino National Park. Pretty Camogli, Italy is a secret that Italians have kept to themselves. You don’t see too many foreign tourists on this part of the Italian Riviera. Unlike Santa Margherita and Portofino, there are no designer stores, celebrities, or super-yachts. Camogli is decidedly low key in a very charming way.
Camogli Italy translates to houses of wives - a meaningful name for a village where women ran the village while their spouses were out for long periods at sea on naval missions or fishing industry.
In Camogli, the tall, colorful homes at the seafront across from the beach reach taller and stack closer than the buildings in most Ligurian villages. So, it was easier for the Italy Riviera villagers to spot the of sails of the boats returning home.
Our absolute favorite restaurant in Camogli is ‘La Camogliese’. The restaurant rises from the beach on a tall pedestal and looks out over the sea. Try the swordfish and pistachio pasta. Or the octopus salad. Or the fried anchovies. We asked Maurizio, the owner and manager, to tell us the story of this marvelous place on the Italy riviera.
Charming Camogli’s small harbor is home to many traditional Ligurian fishing boats, called gozzos. The wooden gozzo arrived in Liguria Italy several centuries ago, introduced from the east into the Mediterranean by the Arabs. Local builders perfected the construction of the gozzos along the Liguria Italian coast to reflect the characteristics of local fishing.
Another way to describe Camogli is vertical. A steep staircase connects the promenade and the next street over. Camogli’s hamlets and neighboring villages link together by a cross-cross of steep footpaths. This means Camogli is a great place to find amazing views out into the Golfo Paradiso - Paradise Bay. In this travel guide we’ll give you to a few of the best views on the Italian Riviera that you can reach from Camogli. Including the views from San Rocco and Panorama point.
Our travel vlog also takes you to the pride of Liguria, Pasta Fiorella across from the beach on the main walkway in Camogli. The fresh pasta shop is named after the owner, Fiorella, who has owned this shop since 19XX and has been making the amazing pasta ever since. Fiorella runs the fresh pasta shop with her children and her sister. They are open 364 days a year, closing only on the day after Xmas for a family meal. Fiorella also serves to-go pasta meals.
From this tiny, but hard working Liguria harbor, the ferry departs for Liguria San Fruttuoso, a beautiful abbey set in a secret bay on the Italian Riviera. San Fruttuoso Italy Riviera is one of the best things to do in Liguria a definite top ten of Italy.
As we walk past the harbor after the ride to San Fruttuoso Italy toward the lighthouse, we see a bit of Liguria Italy fishing history. In this travel guide, you’ll visit the defunct public cauldron that was once used to dye fishing nets made from cotton fibre.
We’ll end our quick tour of this pretty little fishing village with a visit to the Focacceria Revello. Revello’s focaccia is among the best in Liguria. Focaccia is a staple of Liguria Italy and always better when it’s still warm. So our advice is to only buy focaccia if it’s just out of the oven. Ask for a ‘focaccia appena sfornata’.

We are leaving Camogli in the morning. Have been here one full week and loved every minute thanks to you guys. Camogli would have never been on our radar as a place to stay and this place fit us perfectly. Hiked where you hiked, ate where you ate. We have been in Europe for five weeks- this week and our seven days in the Dolomites ( thanks to your videos) have been the greatest surprise love fest. ❤❤❤
Wonderful! We're so happy to hear your story! Thank you for watching our videos!!!!😊
🙋🏼♀️ Greetings! I just found your videos today, the 24th of June in 2024. I think I've seen all based on Liguria. The perspectives you show help me see the towns, and the people! Apologies, but here I go high context. Redirect me if necessary! I'm hoping for help deciding where to stay in 2026. A place to call home for two weeks or more. I love the promenades and palm trees but, wow, it looks like cars are strolling along just as much as people! Oof, that's changed my thoughts looking for a home base place, originally Rapallo. Explore the towns by day and settle in evenings with a view. Couple constraints: all by train & on foot, really can't stand seafood. Love a sense of place, color & alley ways. Spring or September? Need sun!
Grazie!
Camogli is a magical place, still off the beaten track, at least for foreign tourists, and the pasta (pansotti with walnut sauce in particular), pesto and focaccia are something to die for!
Thank you for watching! Any other places off the beaten track. that you would recommend?
@@happygoluckytravel Well, there are so many little villages worth to be visited more or less off the beaten track, some of them are interesting alternatives to now overcrowded Cinque Terre, like Portovenere (quite famous to be honest) or Lerici, Tellaro and Sestri Levante.
But just to remain in Liguria, on the western coast (Riviera di Ponente) nice places to discover are Final Borgo, Bussana Vecchia (a former ghost town now inhabited by artists), Apricale, Dolceacqua, Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena, Cervo, Borgio Verezzi, Montalto Ligure and many others. These just in Liguria, but there are so many more in the other regions of Italy!
Thank you so much for all these wonderful tips!
@@happygoluckytravelTo be traveled at least once in a lifetime is the legendary international railway called "del Colle di Tenda" which connects Ventimiglia with Cuneo passing through Breglio and Tenda. The branch coming from Nizza Marittima joins in Breglio, but in my opinion the most spectacular stretch is the one along the Val Roja, in particular the spiral stretch after the station called Fontano - Saorgio.
@@happygoluckytravelThe Val Roia (Roia Valley, also known by the spelling Val Roja, in French Vallée de la Roya, in Roiasco/Brigasco/Intemelio Val Röia, in Ligurian Val Reuia, in Occitan Val de Ròia) is a 59 km long valley divided between Italy and France, which takes its name from the river Roia which runs entirely through it to its mouth in Ventimiglia.
In my opinion, the most beautiful in Liguria
Visiting camogli and loved your reccomendations. Thanks for the tips! :)
Thank you for watching and very happy to hear your had a nice visit!
What a stunning waterfront location. It looks like an awesome part of Italy to enjoy and explore.
It really is. We love Camogli and this part of Liguria. Thanks for watching.
It was magic so unspoild!
So happy you enjoyed!
Beautiful panoramic view thanks for sharing ❤🎉👍👏
Thanks for visiting, glad you enjoyed! We love Camogli!
My daughter and I are going to Camogli in May. Your video has made us even more excited, thank you! ❤
How wonderful! Thank you for watching our Camogli video and have a fabulous time! You will be near Portofino, Santa Margherita and not too far from Bogliasco if you haven't seen those videos yet😀
Well, my first tip is to come to visit Camogli and Portofino from May to mid July, or in September, avoiding the second half of July and August, when most of the Italian people is on vacation and Camogli, San Fruttuoso di Camogli, Portofino, Santa Margherita are very crowdy. Second tip: avoid to travel to Portofino or Camogli in the week-ends for the same reason; if you want to appreciate these beautiful villages the best hours are in the morning, before the arrival of the tourists, or in the evening, when tourists are gone. The Portofino peninsula is a natural Park, small, but beautiful. There are more than 50 miles of trails, so it's a paradise for hickers. Bring your trekking shoes. Warning: the Mount of Portofino is only a little more than 2,000 ft high, but some trails are pretty hard and difficult. Check the difficulty, the time needed and in the summer bring a lot of water. The web site of the "Parco di Portofino" has maps and indications, but don't hesitate to ask. Every year dozens of tourists need the help of the alpine rescue team. We have few beaches and some of them are very small. But we also have little coves you can reach only by walk (boating in the park's marittime reserve has many restrictions). When the sea is calm the best place for swimming is Punta Chiappa: a long rock half way from Camogli and San Fruttuoso. You can get there by boat with the little ferry from Camogli or from San Fruttuoso or with a 50' walk from San Rocco di Camogli. The water has an exceptional transparency and goes from emerald to deep blue. And it's full of fish.
Super tips! Thank you so much for lending your expertise!
So much quality in this video! You deserve more recognition, thank you ❤ I painted the seaside coast of Camogli today, my dream is to visit Camogli in the future, as well as many other places in Italy. The interview parts are also useful for me as an italian learner😂
Thank you for watching! We're sure your painting must be stunning! And we hope you do make it to Italy soon!
Camgoli is such a beautiful fishing village. The water is crystal clear and so blue. When was this vlog filmed? I was surprised that the guys were in the water training. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! That training footage was from the fall, October or November, lucky sunny day!
im so excited to go here!!!! you guys are so cute!!!!
Have a fun trip! Thank you for watching!
You guys make awesome videos, soon many more people will watch them!
Thank you! That's very nice of you to say.
Wow ok I will go there as a day trip from Milano when I arrive in August 😮
Thank you for watching! August is the peak of the beach season so a great visit means making restaurant reservations and taking public transportation unless you can get there at the crack of dawn for a parking space. Such a pretty place, enjoy your visit!
Another nice video! Emre your Italian is quite impressive!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Camolli!😮
That’s my favorite restaurant too
In 2012 I rented a place right there..for a week.
How lucky! Thank you for watching!
Many people prefer Camogli to portofino. Comunque entrambi sono stupendi.❤
Thank you !
Thank you for watching!
We are looking at Camogli as well as some of the other small towns in the Italian Riviera. We really enjoy the videos that you do. We would like to know if you recommend a particular town for someone with knee issues and trouble going up lots of stairs. Are any towns not as steep getting from hotel to places to explore and out to eat. This would be for November. Thank you so much :)
How nice that you're headed to the Italian Riviera! Santa Margherita Ligure, Rapallo, and Chiavari are relatively flat. Camogli though one of our favorites is a vertical village with a lot of steep staircases. However, If you stay at the promenade, you can access the beach next to the church without stairs, the ferry, and many restaurants. The train station is unfortunately up one level from the promenade, only walkable without stairs if you go along the road at either end. All the best for your travels!
I enjoyed your video. Nicely done. 😀🙏👏👏❤️
Thank you! 😃 And thank you for watching, we appreciate you!
The famous restaurant that serves fresh fish dishes is called "La Camogliese", not "La Kamalese" (maybe it's TH-cam's fault if it appears written like that). Good stay
It is also San Fruttuoso (of Capodimonte) and not "San Futoso"
Another great video! Heading to Camogli in two weeks thanks to your recommendation. Curious, what time of year was this video filmed?
Have a wonderful visit! Thank you for watching. Mostly filmed in the off seasons of Fall and Spring.
Another inspirational video - thank you! Where did you stay in Camogli? Do you have any recommendations for inexpensive accommodation in Camogli?
Thank you for watching and the encouragement! The prices will be lower in the winter and early spring. Once Easter hits rates go up, hitting their peak in July and August. We don't have a specific recommendation, but since Camogli is very small, as you go up the hill you might find better prices. There is a bus that runs once an hour up and down the hill to the village. Have a great trip!
@@happygoluckytravel Thanks for your reply!
😍😍😍😍
Thank you for watching our Camogli video!
Visitata a maggio del 1979, in occasione della sagra del pesce, con acciughe e sardine fritte in un enorme padellone sulla piazza principale , e distribuite ai presenti.
That sounds like a great event! Thank you for watching!
What about Ravello for focaccia di cipola?
Which focaccia place do you think is best in Ravello?
Revello! Ravello is a very famous resort packed with tourists and located along the Amalfi coast
@@happygoluckytravelRevello! Ravello is a very famous resort packed with tourists and located along the Amalfi coast
Either way, it's great! It is also part of the consortium that protects the authentic Recco focaccia with cheese
@@Luigi-uj5ml yummy…..lunch time!
I choosed to live in Camogli after retirement. If you want I have a few more tips...
How lucky that you retired to Camogli! We love tips.What do you suggest? Thank you for watching!
I am thinking of retiring in Nervi. I also like Camogli. Any advice?
@@monkeyseemonkeydo2597 Camogli. No hesitation.
They are different and great in their own ways, but we also favor Camogli, too. Camogli has direct access to the trails of the Portofino Peninsula, Nervi has a lively kayaking base and a longer promenade. Nervi's village is stretched out along the coastal road, Camogli's village is more concentrated. You're lucky to be choosing one of them!
Do you prefer the South - Salento-Pulia or The north Leguria?
Thank you for watching! We love both equally, so this is a really hard question! For sandy beaches and white-painted villages, an ancient feel, Puglia. For a combination of hiking, sea, and colorful fishing villages, an elegant feel, Liguria.
What is the temperature there end of august to early September?
Typical weather would be high 70s to low 80s.The water should be at its warmest of the year. Nothing's typical anywhere these days though! Are you thinking of visiting? Thank you for watching!
Last year I went swimming at Halloween and the water was fine. We actually had an exeptional weather.
P.S.: you speak good Italian. Where are you from?
We're based in Washington, in the US. Have a passion for learning Italian though!
@@happygoluckytravel State of Washington or Washington DC? Anyway, your Italian is very good. Excellent.
State of Washington. Where did you live before retiring in beautiful Camogli?
In Turin, my hometown. Actually I'm a commuter, 'cause my wife works in Turin. Have you ever been in Turin? It's a nice town. Close to the Alps, with a lot of history, art and baroque architecture. For three centuries Turin has been the capital of the Savoy State and than it has been the first capital of Italy (from 1861 to 1866).
P.s.: I had been in Seattle a couple of times. In 1993 and in 2001.
She can’t even prononce the name of the town!😂
