Palazzo Rocca

Plaza

My first memory in Chiavari comes from this plaza. We were getting a tour of the city for my study abroad trip and I remember seeing the Villa Rocca gardens from the plaza. Made it a goal to visit it ...

interesting garden

nice shady garden we got the lift up to it not a bad view but nothing spectacular it's not a garden of perfect simetry it's not ment to be it's no good saying it's scruffy it's not ment to be uniform ...

Botanical Garden very dissapointing.

We did not visit the Palazzo, but the botanical gardens were very scruffy and disappointing. Obviously, they were once superb but they are now in urgent need of a lot of maintenance.

Beautiful botanical gardens

So peaceful and serene. Lots of shade. Fantastic way to spend a few hours. Only costs 1 € admission and the waterfall is my favourite.

Worth it....

The Palazzo Rocca was well worth the walk in the midday sun.... But it's a graveyard I hear you say. Yes but after a lot of traveling in my time I have never quite seen anything so spectacular as this...
