🌊 One of the Most Underrated Towns on the Italian Riviera

Colors, seafood, and everything I love about Italy in one place

I’m always hesitant to share the spots that make me feel like I’m walking through a dream.

Not because I want to gatekeep (okay, maybe a little), but because these places—these rare little towns that still feel untouched—have this magic that’s hard to put into words. They aren’t crowded like the big-name destinations. They don’t rely on flash. Instead, they feel like Italy at its most authentic.

This town? It’s all charm, no chaos.

Picture this: a small crescent-shaped harbor where painted boats bob in the water, and buildings the color of gelato stack up the hillside. Burnt orange, mustard yellow, sea green. You’ll find cats sunbathing on the docks, the smell of focaccia in the air, and a breeze that carries the salt of the sea.

It’s calm, it’s romantic, it’s warm. And every corner is begging to be photographed—but somehow, it still feels like a secret.

I came here without a plan. No must-see list, no pressure to check anything off. Just long seaside walks, lazy beach mornings, and spontaneous meals of the freshest seafood you can imagine. Evenings were for spritzes by the water and watching the sky melt into soft pastels.

It’s not flashy. It’s not touristy. And that’s exactly why I fell in love with it.

So what’s the name of this little slice of heaven?
