Villas in Chiavari

About Chiavari

Chiavari sits in the middle of the Gulf of Tigullio, with the Entella river separating it from Lavagna and five valleys meeting behind it. The historic centre is porticoed, and Via Martiri della Liberazione, known locally as the caruggio dritto, is full of shops, restaurants and trattorias. An antiques market runs along it every second weekend of the month. The beach is largely public and suited to families, and there is a marina with a seafront promenade; Piazzetta dei Pescatori is the spot for sunset. Homes are mostly small, few have a pool, and some sit well outside the town.
