Leivi can be found by going up the Torrente Rupinaro Valley. It is made up of residential areas along the coast that faces the Tigullio Gulf and on the other side there is the Fontanabuona Valley.
Its panoramic position and its climate makes it a wonderful tourist attraction.
Its climate is particular good for the production of olives, which is the crop of the area. In fact this area produces a high quality olive oil, which is perfect for the Ligurian dishes.
In fact, this is why Levi has had especially in the past a large number of oil presses with respect to the rest of the Tigullio territory.
Another typical agricultural product is the production of nuts.
Since 1100 there is word that there were residential areas in this town and the land which was very fertile belonged to the Bishop of Milan, the Benedictines of Genoa, and the Monks of Borzone and San Fruttuoso.
The nearby Fieschi family did everything they could to get this area, but their efforts with the help of Chiavari were useless and the history of Leivi followed that of a nearby city until the fall of the Genoa Republic caused by Napoleon.
From Leivi you can admire various vista points, taste genuine products, and savor the tastes of typical restaurants. In fact these features make it one of the preferred destinations for residents and tourists.
In fact many people of the Tigullio area escape to Leivi because they want to get away form the heat as well as the crowded beaches because they know that in Leivi they can cool down, relax and enjoy typical dishes.
One must also remember its environment for those who enjoy excursions. The path of the Cinque Torri has been restored and it allows you to walk across the Leivi territory starting at Castello di Chiavari.
From here you will cross woods of chestnut trees as well as Mediterranean scrubs and it will take you back form where you started, but first it will show you the most beautiful vista paoints of Leivi.
