For many international buyers, owning a property within a golf community is about much more than access to the course. It is a lifestyle choice that combines privacy, security, natural surroundings and a relaxed pace of life, all within a well maintained residential environment.
In Liguria, few locations offer this combination as successfully as the area surrounding the prestigious Garlenda Golf Club. Nestled among the rolling hills of Western Liguria and just a short drive from the Mediterranean coast, Garlenda has become one of the region’s most sought after destinations for golf enthusiasts and property buyers looking for an authentic Italian lifestyle.
Why Buy a Property in a Golf Community?
Golf communities continue to attract buyers from across Europe thanks to the unique lifestyle they offer. Beyond the sporting aspect, these environments are appreciated for their tranquillity, open spaces and strong sense of community. Unlike many busy coastal resorts, living within a golf club allows residents to enjoy privacy and greenery while remaining close to restaurants, beaches, marinas and everyday services. This balance between convenience and tranquillity is one of the main reasons why golf properties remain highly desirable among second home buyers and retirees alike. In Liguria, these advantages are complemented by a mild climate, beautiful landscapes and easy access from major European cities, making the region particularly attractive for year round living as well as holiday use.
Once again, Liguria confirms its position as one of Italy’s finest coastal destinations. In the 2026 edition of the Blue Flag awards, Italy reached a record 257 awarded municipalities, with 84 more beaches recognised compared to the previous year.
Liguria remains firmly in first place with 35 Blue Flag municipalities, ahead of Puglia and Calabria (27 each), Campania (20), Marche (20) and Tuscany (19). This achievement reflects a long term commitment to environmental quality, sustainable tourism and coastal management, factors that continue to strengthen the region’s appeal among residents, visitors and international property buyers.

The result is particularly significant for the Italian Riviera, where the sea is not simply a summer attraction, but an essential part of local identity, daily life and long term appeal. For those looking for a second home by the sea, the Blue Flag recognition offers a clear sign of environmental quality, services and responsible coastal management.
What Does the Blue Flag Award Mean?
The Blue Flag (Bandiera Blu) is an internationally recognised environmental certification awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). The programme evaluates coastal destinations based on a wide range of criteria, including water quality, environmental management, public services, sustainability initiatives, safety and accessibility.
The award is not based solely on clean water. Municipalities must demonstrate long term commitment to environmental protection, efficient waste management, sustainable mobility and the overall quality of the visitor experience. More than 30 criteria are assessed and regularly updated to reflect evolving environmental standards.
For homeowners and property investors, the Blue Flag often serves as an indicator of a well managed destination that is likely to maintain its appeal and value over time.
The Awarded Beaches of West Liguria
In 2026, West Liguria once again plays a leading role. In the province of Imperia, eight municipalities received the Blue Flag: Bordighera, San Remo, Riva Ligure, Santo Stefano al Mare, San Lorenzo al Mare, Imperia, Diano Marina and Taggia. The return of Taggia is one of the new entries of the year, further strengthening the Riviera dei Fiori among Italy’s most appreciated coastal areas.
San Remo confirms several awarded beaches, including Tre Ponti, Imperatrice, Bussana, Baia Capo Pino and Tiro a Volo, together with the prestigious Portosole marina. Bordighera, Santo Stefano al Mare, San Lorenzo al Mare, Imperia and Diano Marina also continue to represent the high standards of the western Italian Riviera.
Further along the Ponente coastline, the province of Savona also confirms its strength, with destinations such as Andora, Laigueglia, Loano, Finale Ligure, Noli, Spotorno, Celle Ligure and Varazze. Andora is another 2026 new entry, adding further value to an already highly regarded stretch of the Ligurian coast.

Chaque printemps, la Milano Sanremo marque le début de la saison des grandes classiques du cyclisme. Surnommée La Classicissima, cette course mythique relie le nord de l’Italie à la mer Méditerranée et constitue l’un des événements sportifs les plus emblématiques du calendrier international.
L’édition 2026 de la course cycliste Milan San Remo se déroulera le 21 mars, réunissant les meilleurs coureurs du monde pour près de 300 kilomètres de course, entre les plaines lombardes et les paysages spectaculaires de la Riviera italienne.
Histoire de la Milano Sanremo
La première édition de la Milano Sanremo remonte à 1907. Dès le début, cette course s’impose comme un défi exceptionnel en raison de sa longueur, qui en fait aujourd’hui encore la plus longue épreuve d’un jour du cyclisme professionnel.
Au fil des années, elle est devenue l’un des cinq « Monuments » du cyclisme mondial. Des champions légendaires comme Eddy Merckx, Gino Bartali ou Costante Girardengo ont contribué à écrire l’histoire de cette course unique.
Son surnom, La Classicissima di Primavera, reflète parfaitement son esprit, la course marque symboliquement l’arrivée du printemps sur la côte ligure.
The 76th edition of the San Remo Music Festival is set to take place from 24 to 28 February 2026 at the iconic Teatro Ariston in Sanremo on the Italian Riviera. This annual event remains a cornerstone of Italian music culture, blending tradition, contemporary creativity and national pride.

A Festival Defined by Heritage and Innovation
First held in 1951, the Festival della Canzone Italiana di San Remo has become Italy’s most prestigious music competition, shaping the country’s popular music scene and inspiring international song festivals. The 2026 edition continues this legacy, bringing together established names and new voices in a week of performances, storytelling and spectacle.
Dates, Hosts and Format
San Remo 2026 will unfold over five nights from Tuesday 24 February to Saturday 28 February 2026 at the historic Ariston Theatre. Carlo Conti returns as both artistic director and lead host, flanked every night by the world-star Laura Pausini, marking her first year as a permanent co-host for the festival.
The programme maintains the classic San Remo structure:
30 big artists compete with new original songs.
4 artists in the “Nuove Proposte” (New Voices) category showcase emerging talent.
Voting combines public tele-voting, press and radio juries to determine rankings each night and the overall winner.
Alongside the main shows, the PrimaFestival preview series and DopoFestival talk-show segments offer deeper engagement with artists and audiences throughout the week.
