How to get there: Highway A10 Genova-Ventimiglia exit at Bordighera and continue along the Provincial road towards Perialdo by passing Vallecrosia.
The ancient Podium Reinaldi was a possession of the Counts of Ventimiglia, a feud of the Doria family, and the home of the astronomers Gian Domenico Cassini, Giacomo Filippo and Gian Domenico Maraldi.
It is located on the hill crest that closes the Val Nervia and from here you can admire a breathtaking view.
It appears that the town is kissed by the stars and it is an enchanting place for a romantic stay.
The olive trees, the roses, and the mimosas are the main source of income for the local agricultures that color all the seasons.
In the last years, Perinaldo has seen a boom in tourism thanks to its cultural patrimony as well as the renewal of the town.
Here you can enjoy a wonderful day due to its landscape, land, and sea.
The town of the Astronomers still has the home where Gian Domenico Cassini and his grandsons Fillippo and Gian Domenico Maraldi were born.
Very unique are the plaques that remind us of the scientists, writers, and poets that stayed here.
On the Piazza you can admire the Parish Church of St. Nicola that has a late Gothic style to it. When leaving the town you can see the 18th century Oratory of St. Antonio and the ancient convent.
The clean air and the old mule roads that go to the town and the mimosas scattered in the green fields make it a wonderful place for trekking.
