Where do Italians take vacations? Discover 5 hidden gems

 Camogli, Liguria 

From the colorful fishing villages of the Cinque Terre  to the fashionable Portofino, Liguria has long attracted tourists. However, if you explore the west of Portofino, you'll find a more authentic fishing village without designer shops or billionaire yachts. Dreamy Camogli is a collection of thin, brightly painted houses overlooking the surfing beaches. On weekends,  Genoese flee here for fun at sea. The bayhugging promenade has unpretentious restaurants and bars leading to the rockperched Baroque cathedral. Explore Camogli`s stacked narrow streets, feast on seafood pasta at Ostaia da ö Sigù, then hike or ferry over to San Fruttuoso whose 10thcentury abbey overlooks an idyllic cove. With sea views from all bedrooms, the new Sublimis Boutique hotel has doubles from £160, B&B (hotelsublimiscamogli.it).

 Perfect for families, the blueflag beaches of Santa Maria di Castellabate are where Neapolitans go to escape their city`s summer swelter. You`ll hardly hear another English voice here – instead, the evening passeggiata around Piazza Lucia is pure Fellini: Italian mammas comparing babies, old men licking icecreams, kids enjoying Punch and Judy shows while handsome cassockclad priests swish through the crowds. Given its proximity to the Amalfi Coast, this fun seaside resort remains surprisingly secluded. Take a walk on the beach, drink the sunset Aperol Spritz at Bar L'Ancora, zoom in on the hills at Castellabate, or visit the deserted Paestum. There are plenty of choices. Centrally located, Pepi B & B offers both sea views and family and double rooms starting at £ 81 (pepibb.santamariadicastellabate.hotelsinit.com).

 George and Amal Clooney may have added more brilliance to Lake Como, but there is a quiet lake that boasts the same level of beauty. Lake Orta near Maggiore may be small, but Orta San Giulio has a pilgrimage route and a preserved medieval lake town. Enjoy beautiful lake views from the 15th-century Santa Maria Asunta, explore the narrow cobbled streets, relax in the cafe-lined squares, then board the ferry  to Isola San Giulio. This idyllic cluster of dreamy Palazi and secret gardens in the middle of the lake houses a Romanesque cathedral with a "path of tranquility and meditation" around the island to ensure tranquility. I have. Just 50 meters from the shores of Lake Orta, Locanda Alter offers a double room, B & B (locandaorta.com) from £ 85. 

 L'Aquila, Abruzzo Photo: Alamy 

 Surrounded by a valley surrounded by the mountains of the Gran Sasso and Verino Sirente mountains, L'Aquila is an ideal base for exploring the Abruzzo region. Relax and relax thanks to the growing student population, which combines the core of the Renaissance of Palazi, the square and the Baroque church. All are within walking distance. The café-lined Piazza  Duomo has a daily market and a variety of finest osteria serving regional cuisine along with a lively nightclub. Staying in L'Aquila provides easy access to  hiking and cycling trails  in the magnificent Gran Sasso National Park. Palazzo dei Pavoni offers an antique double room, B & B (palazzodeipavoni.it), starting at £ 93.

Incastonata tra mari e monti, San Fruttuoso di Camogli è un piccolo gioiello della Liguria: si tratta di una minuscola baia che si specchia nel mare cristallino. Qui l’uomo è riuscito a costruire quasi come per magia qualche semplice casa di pescatori, una torre e un’elegante chiesa. Nascosta e quasi inaccessibile, questa insenatura conserva inalterata la sua bellezza da secoli e regala al visitatore che osa provare a raggiungerla un colpo d’occhio unico e un ricordo indelebile.

San Fruttuoso di Camogli e l’omonima Abbazia si trovano all’interno del Parco Naturale Regionale di Portofino e sono raggiungibili solamente via mare o a piedi attraverso alcuni sentieri.

Raggiungere San Fruttuoso di Camogli via mare è sicuramente un’esperienza indimenticabile e permette di ammirare la costa ligure e il Parco Naturale Regionale di Portofino da una prospettiva unica. Durante la navigazione, infatti, si può godere del meraviglioso paesaggio caratterizzato da falesie a picco sul mare e dal verde della macchia mediterranea che, a tratti, sfiora il turchese dell’acqua cristallina.

Buongiorno e buon lunedì a tutti voi, cari amici, da San Fruttuoso di Camogli!! 🇮🇹❤👏👋

Nestled between seas and mountains, San Fruttuoso di Camogli is a small jewel of Liguria: it is a tiny bay which is reflected in the crystalline sea. Here man has managed to build simple fishermen's houses almost by magic, a tower and an elegant church. Hidden and almost inaccessible, this cove has kept its beauty unchanged for centuries and gives the visitor who dares to reach it a unique gaze and an indelible memory.

San Fruttuoso di Camogli and the homonymous abbey are located within the Portofino Regional Natural Park and can only be reached by sea or on foot along certain paths.

Reaching San Fruttuoso di Camogli by sea is certainly an unforgettable experience and allows you to admire the Ligurian coast and the Portofino Regional Natural Park from a unique perspective. During navigation, in fact, you can enjoy the wonderful landscape characterized by cliffs overlooking the sea and the green of the Mediterranean scrub which, at times, laps against the turquoise crystalline water.

Good morning and happy Monday to all of you, dear friends, from San Fruttuoso di Camogli!! 🇮🇹❤👏👋

Grazie: Complimenti a📷@instagram.com/matterarts_ 💚🤍❤️

8, talk to me about all your historical crusades meta. You know which fic. ❤️

Hi Friend! This is a FUN question! (Anyone who’s wondering, this is from A Man Like That, my origin fic for Nicky and Joe).

Okay. Did any real people or events inspire any part of it?

The short answer is YES. It was inspired by the First Crusade— particularly the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099– but it also involves in-depth research into the Clunaic Order of monks that split off of the Benedictine Order; the legend(???) of Genoa being sacked in the late 900s by raiders from Northern Africa; the burning of the port of Mahdia by Genoese and Pisano armies in 1087; the Zirid Dynasty and the razing of Kairouan by the Fatimid Caliphate; the Abbasid Caliphate; Al Nizamiyya University in Baghdad; piracy and trade by both Genoa and Northern Africa via the Mediterranean Sea; the arrival of the relics of John the Baptist in Genoa in 1098; AND last but not least, the Hospitaller Knights and Blessed Gerard (Gerard Thom).

*John Mulaney voice* now we don’t have time to unpack ALL that!

He’s right, so I’m gonna walk through my concepts for Nicky and Joe, touching on as many of these points as I can while I go, trying not to spoil anything for later chapters.

NICKY: First things first, I don’t think Nicky is a Knight. I don’t even think that he’s technically a Crusader— I know a lot of people in the fandom don’t love the idea of Nicky having been a priest, but when you look at what a VAGUE description priest is, it gives you so much wonderful wiggle room. A priest could be a monk or a secular priest, and there are lots of different kinds of monks and church-sancationed splits into different worlds. In Nickys time, of course, there were way less, but there’s still options. This is where Clunaic monks come into the picture. Clunaic monks wanted to go even harder than their Benedictine predecessors. Nicky, in my story was raised by the Abbot at San Fruttuoso Abbey (for reasons we shall see)— this gives him a lonely, unorthodox upbringing, and no real family. He is desperate for connection and seeks that from God, but just can’t. That, plus the history of the raid that essentially leveled Genoa in the 900s, and the coastal location of the abbey, and it’s the perfect breeding ground for some low key fanaticism.

This brings into play the relics of John the Baptist, the hospitaller knights (who did not exist in a named capacity yet), and Gerard. The relics of St John put a fire under Nico’s ass to do something. He mentions wanting to leave the order and go abroad to help Christians through service instead of prayer in a quiet moment with the Abbot, who seems... too ready to get rid of him (he’s not a great monk, but he tries so hard). He sends him to Jerusalem with a note to his colleague from Amalfi, Gerard. At the Hospital of the Order of St. John. This was the dawn of the age of Military Orders of Catholic priests and laymen in the Holy Land— you know the Knights Templar? And how there’s no way that Nicky could be one? Well, the Hospitaller Knights were their predecessors, not “defending” pilgrims on the route to Jerusalem, but operating a hospital exclusively for those pilgrims in the city itself. The hospital that Gerard founded in Jerusalem/the idea of these knight/priests started around 1070ish. The hospitaller knights were cemented in the Siege of Jerusalem, and that’s what inspired me to have Nicky join them. Just weeks before the siege. This is all a bit over simplified, but I’m only explaining it as it pertains to Nicky and the story here. Gerard comes in for Nicky in a literal sense in this story, as a real character. He’s the first guiding hand and somewhat gentle presence in his life. He’s also the first person to ever hand Nicky a sword.

JOE: Joe is still a little more nebulous as far as the details are concerned (we don’t get his POV until the fourth chapter, so I’m taking my time with his research), but his backstory follows a wonderful post by (I think) @hottopicmonk discussing whether he was from Mahdia or Tunis. It’s a great post— I can’t find it right now, but I’ll try to link it later— that talks about the Zirid Dynasty, the Fatimid Caliphate, and the inter-regional merchant spies 👀. That was INSPIRING as HELL, and I started doing my own research from there. Joe’s backstory and actions throughout my story take him all over the Levant, Middle East, and Northern Africa, even long before his death and the Siege. He’s a traveler from a wealthy family, shaped by his parents stories of Kairouan (where his father was raised, and was forced to flee), and the Zirid (Sunni) relationship with the Fatimid caliphate (Shia). This is why he is a spy for local zirid leaders, and in a bit of a pickle at the start of the story. This is also why Joe’s old university is in Baghdad— putting him in the domain of the Abbasid caliphate, which was also Sunni. Joe’s experiences at university definitely shape him, but it’s a trip home to Tunis (in, you guessed it, 1087) that he witnesses the aftermath of the sacking of Mahdia and the burning of the port.

Both Joe and Nicky, while super different, have both led their own brand of a sheltered life. Nicky in a more extreme sense, but Joe too. Joe wouldn’t have seen violence on such a scale before that— I think his parents, with their trauma from Kairouan, would have shielded him and his siblings as much as their money and power would allow. After Mahdia, and the loss of a key family member there, I think joe asks his father to teach him to use the scimitar. This is a big moment for joe, and also gives him more than ten years of experience with a weapon when he and Nicky meet.

ONE MORE THING: there are bits and pieces of the story— things that are inconsequential/harmless— that I just waive historical accuracy for the sake of the story. Those will be indicated in the authors note when they happen. This story is the compilation of over a month of research and outlining. I am very proud. Thank you for asking, friend!

Okay! I think that’s about it. I hope that actually answered the question haha it’s not ALL my crusades meta, but i don’t want to spoil the story 😬👍🏻
