These victories are not just a testament to the skill and dedication of our players but also shine a light on the unique cradle of talent that is West Liguria. Matteo Arnaldi, a rising star born and raised in Sanremo, Jannik Sinner, who honed his skills in Bordighera at the renowned Piatti Tennis Center , and Fabio Fognini, a native of Arma di Taggia, all share a common thread – their roots in West Liguria.

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. West Liguria boasts a special microclimate that is exceptionally conducive to year-round outdoor sports. The mild temperatures, which rarely see the extremes of either summer heat or winter cold, provide an ideal setting for continuous training and playing.

The ample sunshine that bathes the region in a warm, golden glow for most of the year ensures that outdoor courts are not just usable, but inviting, almost every day. This consistent weather pattern is crucial for athletes, especially in a sport like tennis where outdoor conditions can significantly impact training and performance.

Furthermore, the minimal rainfall contributes to this ideal sporting environment. Dry conditions mean fewer interruptions and cancellations, allowing for a more consistent training schedule. This is particularly beneficial for developing players who require regular practice to hone their skills.

Whether you are a tennis enthusiast inspired by the recent victories of our local heroes or someone who appreciates the unique charm and climate of West Liguria, we invite you to explore this magnificent region with us.

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”

Golfing in San Remo is an activity that blends physical effort with visual enjoyment thanks to its immaculate fairways and greens that mix in well with the surrounding scenery.

Sardenaira and Torta di Verdura: A Culinary Journey Through the West Liguria Riviera

Today, we invite you to discover two traditional dishes that embody the true essence of West Liguria cuisine: Sardenaira and Torta di Verdura.

Sardenaira: A Treasure of Liguria Cuisine

Sardenaira has ancient roots and is believed to be influenced by a blend of Provençal cuisine and Neapolitan pizza. However, it has acquired its own distinctive identity in Liguria, where it has become a true symbol of traditional cuisine. It can be enjoyed both as an appetizer and as a full meal, either cold or freshly baked. While it resembles pizza, its texture and taste are closer to focaccia.

Sardenaira

Ingredients and Preparation
The base of Sardenaira is a leavened dough, similar to that of pizza but with some key differences. The ingredients for a perfect Sardenaira include tomato sauce, anchovies, black olives, and garlic. These are arranged on a thick, soft dough and baked until golden to ensure the crust’s crispiness.
