The Petronio-Valley, situated behind the coast which stretches out from Sestri Levante to Moneglia, offers fascinating mountain landscapes and, at the same time, along the paths which are trailing between pines and chestnut trees, stunning views of the Tigullio Gulf.
The walking paths extend for more than 90 km, some of them follow antique ?Conci?, the medieval lanes which in former times were Roman routes.

The agriturismo is a suitable starting point for many walking paths or excursions, as: excursions to the Park of Portofino and the Aquarium of Genoa (even with the boat from Sestri Levante); Walking-tours and historical-cultural guided tours in the Fontanabuona-Valley with its Schistous-Quarries; Excursions to the Gambatesa Mines in Graveglia Valley; Tours to the Regional Park of the Cinque-Terre and more over the San Nicolao mountain, the peninsula Punta Manara, a nice walk from Sestri Levante to Riva Trigoso with a stunning view of the coast, the prehistorical Lake of Bargone from the ice-age, a ?wetland?, which is over ten thousand years old, the stunning Grottos of Frascarese, caverns of carsian origin, which were formed by subterraneous water flows working their way through the cavernous lime-stone.
