Verezzi, ancient village among the most beautiful in Italy

Today we talk you about Verezzi, an ancient village not far from Camping Baciccia in Ceriale, ideal for an enchanting visit
with the family and in winter.

It is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, beautifully preserved. Verezzi can be reached from our Camping in Ceriale in about 20 minutes by car.
It is absolutely fullfilling to go to Verezzi for a visit to the wonderful Saracen village.
It is a beautiful pearl set in the heights of Borgio. It’s 250 meters above sea level.
As you climb the hill by the car, the expectation and enthusiasm for the view grows, which already gives a first taste of the road to reach the old village.
There are views of extraordinary beauty, where the blue of the sky and the sea touch each other and, in summer, the flowers form cheerful colored spots.
In Verezzi you can forget the real size for the time you stay there.
Arriving at the parking, you will be enchanted by the breathtaking view.
After a few steps you enter a kind of natural theater made of history, colors and Mediterranean fragrances.
The Saracen village is composed of four hamlets, characterized by buildings in the typical local pink stone, connected by “carruggi” and “creuze”.
Once you enter the village, it feels like magic and when you arrive in Piazza Sant'Agostino it is absolute wonder.
In fact, you will find in a splendid natural panoramic terrace with a small Church from the 1300s.
Many famous people in the show have chosen the small Church of Sant'Agostino to get married.
Since 1967 Piazza Sant'Agostino every summer becomes an open-air theater.
A real stage of exception that hosts internationally renowned actors for the famous and prestigious Theater Festival of Borgio Verezzi.

The Theater Festival of Borgio Verezzi

Almost as a joke, in 1967 the Festiva Teatrale di Borgio Verezzi was born.
On the spectacular terrace-square overlooking the Ligurian coast, with the suggestive Church of Sant'Agostino in front, under the starry vault and in the middle of the ancient stone buildings.
This is the exceptional natural scenery that gave birth and has kept over time a unique event, growing year by year.
Every year here the best of the Italian stage passes, with directors and actors of international fame. Shows that have left an indelible mark.

Inserted in the club of the most beautiful villages in Italy and in the Ligurian pearl circuit, Verezzi in 2009 also received the dedication of a national postage stamp.

It’s a small jewel of inestimable value. Besides the natural, historical and architectural beauties, it has beautiful paths for mountain biking lovers and for those who love trekking.
Perfect even for a romantic dinner.
Verezzi deserves at least one visit in every season, because it's always beautiful.
