Planning a company event in Liguria
Liguria works for small and medium groups who want the sea: a grand hotel on the Gulf of Tigullio, a villa above Portofino or a palazzo in Genoa. Genoa is a port city with its own airport and direct trains to Milan, which makes a short programme between work and the coast easy to set up.
When to go
April to June and September to October suit most groups, with mild weather and quieter villages. July and August bring crowds to Portofino and the Cinque Terre and fill hotels. Genoa works all year, and the coast stays mild in winter, though some seaside hotels close.
Getting the team there
Genoa Cristoforo Colombo has flights from several European cities, and Milan’s airports are a common alternative, with direct trains from Milan to Genoa. Nice serves the Riviera di Ponente. The coastal railway links the main towns; on the Portofino promontory and in the Cinque Terre, boats and trains are often easier than coaches.
Venues on the coast
Grand hotels in Santa Margherita Ligure, Rapallo and Sanremo have meeting rooms and enough bedrooms for a group, while villas suit a board or leadership retreat. Genoa has palazzi and hotels in the old town and around the Porto Antico for meetings in the city. Space is tight along the coast, so larger groups usually stay together in one hotel.
Team activities
Boat trips along the coast, to Portofino or to the abbey of San Fruttuoso, sailing, and walks on the coastal paths are the classics. A pesto class, a focaccia tasting or a visit to an olive oil mill brings in Ligurian food, and Genoa’s old town and aquarium fill an afternoon in the city.

Where to hold a company event in Liguria?
In Genoa for a meeting in a palazzo or a city hotel, in a grand hotel at Santa Margherita Ligure, Rapallo or Sanremo for a programme by the sea, or in a villa for a small leadership team. Liguria suits small and medium groups better than large conferences.
When is the best time for a corporate event in Liguria?
Spring and early autumn, when the weather is mild and the villages are quieter. July and August are crowded on the coast and hotels are full. Genoa can host events all year round.
How do you get a group to Portofino?
Fly to Genoa or Milan, then continue by coach or train to Santa Margherita Ligure or Rapallo. The road to Portofino is narrow and parking is limited, so many groups finish the trip by boat or in small shuttles.
