Hotel Torino lies on the promenade, next to the touristic port and the historical centre; it is an ideal starting point to visit the most beautiful places of the Ligurian Eastern Riviera (San Fruttuoso di Camogli, Portofino, Cinque Terre, Portovenere) by car, by train or by boat; you can reach Genoa in twenty minutes by car, thanks to the motor-way, and admire its splendid buildings, Museums, the Historical Centre and the Antique Port with its big Aquarium.
Those who love the country, the mountains and the evocative villages of the Ligurian Apennines can visit the Aveto Park, the wonderful and unique flora of the Agoraie, along the slate track (old quarries and historical and so on): and after that, you can rediscover the old good tastes of local cuisine in trattorie half hidden in the valleys. And on foot or by bike... there's Chiavari: the beaches in front on the Hotel, the Historical Centre, the Churches, the archaeological excavations, the Arcades with old shops.
The spectrum of stimuli offered by Chiavari is certainly broad. The old town throngs with things to see. These range from the Palazzo Torriglia and Rocca to the 15th-century courthouse, from the palace of the black porticoes, with its Gothic arches, to the church of S. Giovanni Battista, and from the Madonna delle Grazie church to the neo-classical Cathedral which contains numerous 17th-century canvases and a valuable wooden group by Maragliano. And inside these buildings you can find numerous art treasures: Palazzo Rocca contains admirable furniture and canvases by De Ferrari, Grechetto, Magnasco, and also houses the Archeological Museum. The palace also offers the chance to enjoy a magnificent park pervaded by all the evocative perfumes of a Mediterranean garden.
