Travel Tips

Balzi Rossi is located in Liguria, at the Italian & French border. It is an archaeological area with an old Roman path to our holiday resort. The Balzi Rossi (literally: Red Rocks) is a rock formation with caves, also known as the caves of Grimaldi. At the beginning of the path, you’ll find the museum. Interesting to pay a visit.
