Cala Loca

  The location is beautiful, a small private beach nestled between the high Ligurian cliffs inside a natural park. The view before going down to the structure is breathtaking. The staff... read more are helpful and kind, the food delicious.

  I have visited this beach and restaurant at least once a year since 2018 and the quality of service and food has always been outstanding.

The location itself is... read more awesome, although being quite deep and narrow the sun will set several hours earlier than in other places along the coast. Therefore, it's best to get here in the morning to make the most out of your sun loungers. However, the sun will still shine on the sea for longer so you can still swim until late on warm days.
Please note that, like many Ligurian beaches, it is a pebble beach and not a sandy beach although there is a portion of the foreshore with smaller stones for a more comfortable walk in and out of the sea.

I have been living in the UK since 2014 after living in Genoa for over 43 years, therefore each time I visit Liguria I tend to eat exclusively Ligurian food, which is hard to find, even in Italy, outside of that region. The Cala Loca restaurant has always some dish belonging to the Ligurian food traditions, as well as something entirely unrelated but delicious like "Tonno batte Gambero", a combo of a tuna tartare and a prawn tartare (albeit Liguria is a stretch of land along the Mediterranean, its culinary tradition does not include much fish and the only "raw" fish in its tradition are marinated anchovies).

This review covers the resort as a whole, and while the restaurant alone is still worth a visit you would probably regret having missed out on a few swims in the Mediterranean if you came here only for a dinner.

Book well in advance if you want to get a sun lounger as the bay is quite small so there is a limited number of seats available.

  Totally recommend. Beautiful views, great service, delicious food. Moreover, it’s safe for families with children.
