💡 Tips
- Rent a bike in Levanto and ride through the 'Maremonti' tunnels to Framura; the old railway openings offer striking sea views.
- Visit all five hamlets (Setta, Costa, etc.) on foot; they are connected by steep but beautiful paths overlooking the coast.
- Use the train to reach Framura as parking in the narrow village areas is nearly impossible.
- Pack water shoes, as the beaches in Framura are mainly dark pebbles and stones.
- Look for the 9th-century Carolingian watchtower in the hamlet of Costa for a glimpse of medieval history.
🍽 Food
A local favorite in Setta; go here for authentic Ligurian focaccia and savory vegetable pies.
Sample the local white wine; the vineyards' proximity to the sea gives the wine a distinct mineral saltiness.
A classic Ligurian seafood dish found in the small trattorias of the hill hamlets.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Buy local honey, olive oil, and fruit jams produced in the surrounding hills.
Visit on Wednesday mornings for local crafts, clothing, and fresh regional produce.
A train ride away, famous for high-quality antique shops and boutique shopping.
The 'Hare's Leap' features a sweeping panoramic terrace on a cliff edge, much quieter than Cinque Terre trails.
A wild, narrow rocky cove accessible from the cycling path, convenient for a solitary dip.
A scenic promenade hugging the cliffs between the station and the beaches, excellent for a quiet sunset stroll.

Framura is a pretty municipality situated along the rugged coastline of Liguria, Italy, located perfectly between the famous Cinque Terre and Portofino. Unlike its busy neighbors, Framura remains a tranquil haven composed of several small hamlets tumbling down the hillside toward the sea. The lush Mediterranean vegetation, pine forests, and terraced vineyards create a striking backdrop for a peaceful coastal retreat. The coastline of Framura is characterized by its dramatic cliffs and pristine pebble beaches, which are a paradise for sea lovers. Portopidocchio is a pleasant cove with crystal-clear waters, ideally suited for snorkeling and exploring the local marine life. Just a short walk away is Torsei, a highly popular pebble beach accessible via a scenic coastal path, offering excellent facilities for a comfortable day by the sea. Further along the coast, visitors will easily find Arena, another beautiful beach widely known for its natural beauty and calm atmosphere. For those seeking a more secluded spot, Vallà provides a quiet coastal escape where the sounds of the waves create a deeply relaxing environment. Together, these beaches highlight the untouched beauty of the Ligurian Sea.
