Savignone is a lovely hill village set in the greenery of the Ligurian countryside. During the last century it became famous as a spa resort, giving hospitality to the Genoese aristocracy in the holiday season. Nowadays it lays peacefully around the elegant piazza dominated by |

 |
|
|
Palazzo Fieschi, a fine example of 16th century architecture.
The medieval castle towering over the village was the stage for love affairs, fights and family feuds as the Fieschis ruled until 1624 over their fief and the neighbouring territory. |

The whole area, far away from city bustle but very near to Genoa (only 25 km.) is rich in tourist attractions: get on the Trenino di Casella, discover the Castello della Pietra, explore the Parco dell’Antola and a kaleidoscope of sanctuaries and tiny churches, or biking along scenic trails. |
