Cool down in Rochetta Nervina

Tucked away in the green hills above the Nervia Valley, Rocchetta Nervina is a small medieval village that feels like a secret — untouched, serene, and surrounded by nature. Stone houses cling to the hillside, narrow lanes wind between archways, and the sound of running water fills the air.

Laghetti di Rocchetta

Just above the village lies Rocchetta’s greatest treasure: Laghetti di Rocchetta series of emerald-green natural pools fed by crystal-clear mountain streams. Here, you can swim in cool, pure water shaded by olive trees and cliffs — a perfect escape on warm summer days.

Rocchetta Nervina is more than a destination — it’s an experience of Liguria at its most natural and peaceful.

The area is also a paradise for walkers and nature lovers. Hiking paths lead from the village up through forests and along ancient mule trails, connecting to nearby Apricale and the surrounding hills. After a refreshing dip, enjoy a leisurely lunch in one of Rocchetta’s cozy trattorias, where you can taste local dishes made with olive oil, herbs, and produce from the valley.
