Camogli is a little unspoiled fishing village tucked into a cove just the other side of the Portofino Penninsula. This is an alive Italian Village and a favorite spot for Italian's. We first visited Camogli in 1992 and fell in love with charm of this old village lined with pastel "Trompe l'oeil" buildings. It was a dream come true when we were finally able to buy and restore and apartment right on the water and live in the center of Camogli so that we could enjoy Camogli to the fullest. The apartment has four large windows from which the Ocean, Camogli, the village of San Rocco, the Monte di Portofino and the "Golfo Paradiso" can be seen. The town has an excellent beach, a small fishing Port where fresh fish can be had directly from the boats or from the local fish shops nearby. There are many wonderful trails on the Portofino Penninsula. One can hike to San Rocco,or the abbey of San Fruttuoso(15th century) and even Portofino from Camogli. In Camogli a car is not necessary for the ferries and trains will take you to Genova, Rapallo, San Fruttuoso, Portofino, Santa Margarita, Cinque Terre and more. There is a little tourist office (IAT) near Piazza Schiaffino, and they are happy to assist you with train & ferry schedules; they also have a computer if you need to access the internet. There are many wonderful restaurants in Camogli where you can sample the fresh fish, and the local pasta dishes "troffie al pesto", "pansotti con salsa di noci" and more. Via Garabaldi, the street on the water is lined with gelato shops, focacceria shops where one can sample the famous "focaccia col formagio", boutiques for shopping, fresh homemade pasta shops (if you wish to cook at home), wonderful cafe's and bars for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is also a wonderful wine shop in Camogli where there is usually someone who speaks English. The apartment is on the fourth floor (above ground level) the building entrance is a few steps up from the beach level and a few steps down fr
