Premier International School Opening Soon in West Liguria

The renowned international education services provider Chatsworth Schools and Marina Development Corporation (MDC), a pioneer in urban regeneration focused on regions associated with tourism ports and leisure, have announced a ground-breaking partnership. With this collaboration, an international school will soon be established on the Borgo del Forte Campus in Ventimiglia. This initiative is in line with MDC’s larger goal of reviving the Ventimiglia waterfront.

A key component of the area’s revitalization, this international school is expected to start in September 2026, subject to clearance from the Municipal Council. It will be a part of the renovation of the old Campasso railway yard, which will turn a 42,000 square metre area into a flourishing centre for community and education. The school is positioned as a distinctive educational destination for students from the neighbouring regions, including Genoa, Monaco and Nice, because of its strategic position behind the naturalistic area at the mouth of the Nervia River.

Up to 800 students between the ages of 3 and 18 can be accommodated on the campus in a multi-story building that is surrounded by a public park. In addition to meeting educational demands, the facility will provide substantial sporting facilities that are open to the public, such as a contemporary gym, an indoor pool and a multipurpose space for different activities.

Dix bonnes raisons de visiter San Remo

1. LE CLIMAT

Notre climat est extraordinairement doux pendant toutes les saisons. La ville est entourée de collines et d’une riche végétation méditerranéenne, située sur un golfe de la mer Ligure. Ces caractéristiques ont contribué à en faire l’une des stations balnéaires les plus réputées d’Europe, en fait, Nice, avec son aéroport international, est à seulement 60 km. L’eau de mer chaude et propre, les belles plages, les couleurs vives et lumineuses du paysage, les installations qui permettent aux visiteurs de pratiquer plusieurs sports aquatiques et la possibilité d’observer les cétacés dans leur habitat naturel garantissent aux visiteurs des vacances agréables et relaxantes.

2. LA PISTE CYCLABLE

La ligne de chemin de fer de la Riviera a été conçue pour longer le littoral lors de sa construction au XIXe siècle. Ensuite, la voie ferrée principale a été déplacée en souterrain et l’ancienne ligne a été transformée en une piste cyclable sans circulation offrant une vue presque ininterrompue sur la mer pendant environ 24 kilomètres. Les cyclistes, les piétons et les joggeurs apprécient tous cette route côtière sans voiture, parsemée de palmiers, de jardins et de cafés en bord de mer. À San Remo, il existe une multitude de points de location de vélos, ce qui rend la ville idéale pour les cyclistes de tous les niveaux.

3. LE FRONT DE MER, LE VIEUX PORT ET LA MARINA

La ville surplombe la mer et les visiteurs peuvent se promener sur toute sa longueur en restant connectés à la mer. Le port séculaire est resté actif pour accueillir les bateaux de pêcheurs, tandis que le nouveau port de plaisance de Portosole accueille des centaines de yachts du monde entier.

How the Italian Riviera Shaped Davis Cup Heroes

Sunday the 26th of November marked a momentous day for Italian tennis, as our nation triumphed in the prestigious Davis Cup, with Italy sweeping Australia in a remarkable victory.

West Liguria, renowned for its enchanting beauty and strategic location in Europe, is not just a haven for tourists and property seekers but also a paradise for athletes, particularly tennis players.

9 Hidden Gems in San Remo Proposed by Born and Raised Locals

San Remo, a charming city on the West Riviera, is an appealing destination with more to offer than just beautiful beaches and pleasant temperatures. As leaders in the West Ligurian real estate market, LiguriaHomes Casamare is proud to share the little-known treasures that make San Remo a special and alluring destination for travel and investment. This trip will explore the attractive city’s lesser-known gems, from the authenticity of purchasing fresh seafood directly from fishing boats to the serenity of playing golf.

Buying Fish directly from the Fishing Boats

Buying fish directly from fishing boats docked at the harbour “Porto Vecchio” is one of the most genuine and distinctive experiences that San Remo has to offer. Early in the morning, the city’s fisherman cast their nets out to sea in search of a fresh catch, which can include anything from anchovies to sea bream to the famous red shrimps .

You get to choose from the day’s catch even before it arrives at the market, providing an unmatched level of freshness and quality. The best quality is guaranteed because to this direct-to-consumer strategy, which also helps local fisherman.

Purchasing fish directly from local fishermen is also an eco-friendly choice. It promotes sustainable fishing practices and reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting seafood over long distances. This aligns with the growing trend of conscious consumerism, making it a choice that is both delicious and responsible.

If you’re interested in this unique experience, we advise to arrive early in the morning when the boats come in with their fresh catch.

Refreshing and Playing Golf in the “Circolo Golf degli Ulivi”
