Casale/cascina in via San Gaetano s.n.c., San Colombano Certenoli

The cluster is on the Gulf of Tigullio on the Ligurian Sea, with the Ligurian Apennines rising directly behind the coast. The Entella river reaches the sea here between Chiavari and Lavagna. Portofino Regional Natural Park is nearby on the western side of the gulf. The nearest substantial town is Chiavari itself, which has a long arcaded historic centre, a seafront and rail links along the Genoa–La Spezia coast. Sestri Levante is close to the east, and Rapallo and Santa Margherita Ligure are close to the west. The area is known for the Tigullio coast of small seaside towns backed by steep wooded slopes.
