Pegli

The quiet Pegli area is known for its aristocratic villas, such as Villa Durazzo Pallavicini, set amid parkland studded with lakes and statuary. The leafy Giardino di Villa Centurione Doria surrounds a 16th-century mansion, now home to the maritime collection of the Museo Navale. Locals and visitors relax with an ice cream while strolling along the waterfront promenade or sip cocktails in bars with sea views.
