PERINALDO, let us guide you

Visit Perinaldo, an inland village famous for being the birthplace of Gian Domenico Cassini, the famous 17th-century astronomer. The guided tour starts with a walk through the historic center, along picturesque alleys and panoramic little squares, before reaching the Observatory, where visitors can enjoy star-gazing evenings thanks to a powerful telescope.

Walking among the blooming mimosa trees, visitors can enjoy a unique panorama, a true viewpoint with a 360-degree view from the sea to the 2,000-meter-high mountains, with the sea on the horizon and the surrounding mountains stretching all the way to Monte Caggio. Perinaldo has always welcomed many foreign residents with a love for nature, culture, and the good life.

Don’t miss the local specialties: thornless Provençal artichokes, Taggiasca olives, and Rossese wine. Perinaldo combines science, history, and nature in a single itinerary, perfect for those who love astronomy, breathtaking views, and the peaceful authenticity of Ligurian villages.
