Bonassola is located on the Ligurian coast of Italy, 32 miles south-east of Genoa on the east coast of Liguria (Riviera di Levante). It is surrounded by hills with pine groves and terraces of vineyards and olive trees. On both sides of Bonassola Bay there are two high capes: Cape Levanto (to the east) and Cape Madonna (to the west).
Bonassola has a centuries-old history and well-preserved sights, mostly from the Middle Ages.
Yachts can be anchored in the bay when the weather is suitable.
