Savignone is one of the capitals of the verdant
Appennino di Liguria, conveniently located at a stone’s throw from Genoa, the
Riviere and Piedmont. This evergreen holiday resort boasts excellent natural and
cultural resources – not to forget about crafts and gastronomy – in an elegant
setting of shady roads and beautiful Art Nouveau villas.
Savignone is an easy reach both by car and train,
the highway exit and the railway station of Busalla only a few minutes away.
Besides, an intriguing network of strade provinciali links the village with both
coast and lower Piedmont – the land of Cortese wine. The central piazza, solemn
yet cosy, is dominated by 16th century Palazzo
Fieschi, the dwelling of the powerful lords who ruled over the whole area.
Painstaking restored by its present owners,
Palazzo Fieschi is Liguria’s most ancient hotel still in activity...
The Territory:
Savignonereenery of the
Genoese countryside (500 mts. a.s.l.), once the seat of
spas and Belle Époque elite tourism. This age of
elegance is witnessed by the many Neo-Gothic villas (one
by notorious architect Coppedè) that dot the slopes of
the hills. The borgo stands in the heart of the Valle
Scrivia, embodying its natural and cultural values at
their best. The whole area, close to Genoa and the
Riviere but far from city chaos is in fact rich in
tourist attractions. From the “trenino” di Casella to
the Castello della Pietra, from the Parco dell’Antola to
the Santuario di Nostra Signora dell’Acqua and the
Ferrata del Reopasso, from the museum system to a
hundred rural churches scattered here and there…
