Nestled along the Ligurian coast, San Fruttuoso is a secluded bay named after the 10th-century abbey that stands at its water’s edge. Accessible only by boat or via a steep trail, this tiny nook offers a dramatic landscape of crystalline waters and rugged cliffs. The relaxed atmosphere here provides a stark contrast to the bustling Portofino nearby. Visitors can explore the historic abbey, bask in the serene surroundings, and enjoy the tranquil ambiance that feels worlds away from the more crowded coastal areas.
