Circular Trails with Ponds, Mills and Historical Traces

The “Anello dei laghetti” circular trail from Deglio Faraldi is approximately 3 km long, has around 180 metres of elevation gain and takes an estimated 1 hour and 15 minutes. These approximate figures help you fit the route into your personal daily schedule. The trail also runs along natural ponds on the Torrente Cervo as far as Deglio Faraldi and the Laghetto del Mulino. There, former water mills were converted into more productive oil mills in the 18th and 19th centuries.

On the way to Monte Mezzogiorno from Deglio Faraldi, you will come across traditional, domed Caselle made of dry stone. These structures served farmers and shepherds as shelters and protection from bad weather. The trail therefore brings together not only the landscape, but also a vivid trace of the area’s former work. Those who pay attention to regional building forms while hiking will find a particularly tangible detail here.

Culture in Deglio and Villa Faraldi

The Chiesa di San Bernardo is associated with Deglio in Villa Faraldi and is located in Piazza San Bernardo in Villa Faraldi. The Church of San Bernardo in Deglio near Villa Faraldi houses a tempera painting on wood by Giulio De Rossi, created in 1577. This specific artistic connection complements the trails with a visit focused on cultural history and gives the choice of a holiday apartment in Deglio Faraldi another possible focus.

Taggiasca Olives and Ligurian Flavour

Solo Taggiasca is a farm in Deglio Faraldi at an altitude of approximately 350 m. It produces extra virgin olive oil from the Taggiasca monovarietal cultivar, as well as Taggiasca olives in brine. The olives are prepared according to the classic Ligurian tradition with water, salt and natural flavours. For your trip planning, this provides a clear connection to a typical regional product alongside hiking routes and culture.
