The Park of the Nervia river, near Ventimiglia

If you are planning to spend a few days on the Italian Riviera, you may be interested to know that not far from the town of Ventimiglia near the border with France there’s a lovely park called the Oasis of the Nervia river; the area which is 60,000 square metres in size is also home to more than 140 species of birds and wildlife animals; an enchanting landscape with tall trees and reeds swinging in the gentle breeze blowing from the sea.

Not far from the Nervia park, there’s also a lovely five room hotel called Baia Beniamin which overlooks Capo Mortola and Menton Garavan’s new port; its guests can have dinner on the terrace overlooking the scintillating blue sea and wake to the delicate sound of the waves breaking on the rocks.
