Liguria - An English Fairytale

The incredible story of the British discovery and colonization of the most beautiful coastline in Europe.

For a hundred years the Brits have traveled, explored and settled on this magic coastline of small fishing villages and rugged mountains, turning it into one of the world’s favorite tourist attractions. From Shelly and Byron’s adventures in Lerici, to Dicken’s exploration of Genoa, to Elizabeth Von Arnim’s discovery of Portofino, writers, painters and British sun lovers have lived in Liguria, set up tennis clubs, built gardens and villas, and turned the dozens of small villages and towns into the picture postcard locations we know today.
