Ah, la Bella Vita! Well, if you like Liguria (and I do), Bella Vita in Liguria is the name of a new blog from Megan, who operates Bella Vita Italia – Your Personal Concierge for Italy.
Having someone plan your vacation, especially if you don’t know the language, might be a good idea. Most folks have so little time for vacation, wasting it trying to figure out the train, or a menu, might easily ruin your experience.
There is a special kind of light in Liguria that attracts me. This November I drove around the “peninsula” formed by the Bocca di Magra in the east to the Golfo di La Spezia in the west around to Lerici. I got some great pictures, which I hope to post soon.
We had a great seafood pasta course at Il Frantoio in Lerici. Off season they close early: 2:30 and the kitchen was closed by the time we were ready for the main event.
Il Frantoio is at Via Cavour 21 in Lerici. That’s my pasta in the pic below.
