Discover the Portofino Riviera in its most magical season
When the summer crowds are gone, the Portofino Riviera turns into a dream — quiet coves, golden sunsets, and that irresistible sense of calm that makes you breathe deeper.
October is the time to slow down, indulge, and fall in love with Liguria all over again.
At the Hotel Continental in Santa Margherita Ligure, autumn means pure pampering. In the “Le Tamerigi” Spa, expert hands (yes, Valentina’s magic touch!) melt away stress with personalized massages and rituals that make you feel renewed.
And for a seasonal treat, don’t miss the exclusive Halloween wellness packages — candlelight, warm-oil treatments, and themed surprises that make October beautifully spooky.
Beyond the Spa, October is full of flavor.
Visit the Campagna Amica farmers’ markets — from Genoa to Recco and Chiavari — for local olive oil, honey, cheeses, and chestnuts straight from the hills.Each visit supports Ligurian farmers and fills your weekend with authenticity and taste.
For a touch of adventure, explore nearby gems like Portofino, San Fruttuoso, and Camogli, or drive inland to Triora, the “witch village,” where Halloween night glows with bonfires and folklore.
Looking for culture? The FAI Autumn Days (Oct 11–12, 2025) open villas and abbeys rarely seen by the public, while Candlelight Concerts in Genoa fill historic halls with soft, flickering music.
Whether you come for wellness, nature, or a hint of Halloween magic, October on the Riviera of Portofino offers something precious: time for yourself.
