Our personal "specials":
Hotels and accommodation
Hotel Florence in Finale Ligure directly on the road to Finalborgo: perfect for leaving the car in the evening and setting off on foot. There are garages for bikes and the car park is locked and monitored at night. The car park has a lot of charm Agriturismo Rose di Pietra in Pietra Ligure - a family business where the whole family really loves and lives mountain biking. The Accame brothers and their son Martino build trails, guide and offer courses. They also grow organic vegetables, which are sold in a small but excellent shop in the village. Locanda la Fortezza in Finale Ligure - for the extraordinary. Here you sleep within the old walls of the prison, with two cells forming one room. The restaurant there is of a very high standard, the view and the ambience are fantastic and a little eerie.
Camper have a good selection of pitches. The Eurocamping Villaggio Giuele is relatively central in the town centre. You can reach the centre or the beach promenade on foot in just a few minutes. A little further out, between the trails in Le Manie, are the Finale Freeride Outdoor Village and Camping San Martino.
Food & Drink
Tonino 2 in Finale Ligure: fast and delicious pizza. Limited space, so be sure to book or simply pick it up. La GrottePizzeria & Restaurant: If you want to dine on the seafront, this is the place for you. The food is delicious and the prices are still reasonable despite the good location. La GrottaLocalitá Manie: Lunch break while biking (directly on the trail), snack, coffee break or dinner. Great location, the grotto behind it is worth seeing. Always full, it makes sense to book.
Petricore in Finalborgo: sit directly on the pretty piazza in Finalborgo in front of the church and enjoy the finest cuisine. Top service, good wines, good advice. Rather high-priced. riviera outdoor bike beer an foodFinalborgo: bike shop, après-trail café. Iconic shop with snacks, beer, café etc. Bar Centrale in Finalborgo: probably the best ice cream in Finale.
Bar La Scarletta in Feglino under the motorway bridge: the classic after the classic trails, most of which end right here. Bastian Contrariodirectly on the main road with no pavement - get in quickly before the next car arrives - it's worth it. Certainly one of the absolute top restaurants in Finale Ligure. Cafe DinSandwich or coffee before the start of the trail? Then you've come to the right place. Starting point for many tours. Olio Frantoio Fratelli MagnoneThe active oil mill has a kind of factory outlet for oil and delicacies - a tip for all olive oil fans.
