Review of: San Fruttuoso Abbey Entrance Ticket
Another great experience along the Ligurian coastline. We stayed in Santa Margherita and used that great town as a home base to explore Cinque Terre. Don't forget about the San Fruttuoso Abbey. It was a highlight. Two ways to arrive - by boat or hiking in on foot. The boat ride is about 30 minutes. The beach can be crowded, we were there in August and we didn't reserve a beach chair ahead of time. However, we were fortunate to get two chairs. We laid on the beach, floated in the water, toured the abbey and the grounds, and had lunch in the Abbey Gardens next to the chapel. You probably need reservations to eat. There is a cafe in the Abbey with long lines. We recommend one of the restaurants. I believe there are three. It was a great trip and can even be a half-day trip. If you charter a private boat you can dive to the Christ of the Abyss statue submerged about 100 yards out. Floating in the water you can see the towering green hillsides meeting the glistening ocean. Magnificent!…

We enjoyed the amazing hike from portofino to san fruttuoso. It was blazing hot but the secluded beach at the end was amazing. Highly recommend but bring a ton of water!

“where have you been all my life?” OMG This is Italy’s best kept secret. Secluded beach, crystal clear water and all the glamour of Italian vogue. We stumbled upon this gem while making our way from Camogli to Portofino. Although our first visit was short we were certain to return the very next day to immerse ourselves in the sheer splendour of this hidden gem. Be prepared to stay for the whole day. You don’t need to take much. The restaurants are delightful and the beach facilities are perfecto. Now I have to mention the views are to die and the landscapes not bad either. If your not staying locally. Catch the train to Camogli make your way to the port and catch the ferry which departs hourly. You can thank me later...ENJOY.…

About a twenty minute boat ride to the cove where the restaurant is located. We had lunch in an isolated cove, on the side of a hill, with the beautiful, blue Mediterranean Sea in front of us. Unfortunately (for us), storms had kept the fisherman at home and there was no fresh fish, but the food, service and wine were excellent. If you visit Camogli, this is the first restaurant to visit. It is sooo unique.…
