Camogli
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Genoa & villages like Camogli and Portofino (reachable via Rapallo which has a train station) are incredibly picturesque.
- If you combine Genoa with a day trip to Camogli and Portofino, it’s absolutely worth it.
- Camogli is a lovely seaside town that’s a little less touristy and should be a little easier to get to the airport from
- Bogliasco è carina, ma se vuoi fare escursioni o stare in spiaggia vai a Camogli da dove puoi fare escursioni a piedi sul Promontorio di Portofino (alcune anche impegnative)
- I would recommend Sestri Levante or Camogli for the views, the food and the chance for a swim
Cons
- Just as good? IMO, I wouldn't say that. Its beach is more pebbly. So not as unbearably rocky as central Puglia but not as pristine as Salento. Even from an urban and historical perspective, I think Puglia may top it.

We went to Camogli recently for 7 days and it was amazing, highly recommended.
If you want a coastal down closer to Tuscany but not as famous/crowded as Cinque Terre, I’d look at Camogli. Charming town.
I've started doing a bit of research, and have come across towns like Camogli and Santa Margherita Ligure (and many others) that seem quite nice and cheaper+less crowded than Portofino and Cinque Terre
For my own tastes, down/up the coastline are much more enjoyable places like Camogli or Portovenere (which I am a big fan of).
We’re heading in 2 weeks back to Italy we love camogli in liquria
