The road to Monte Stello climbs up a slope overlooking the sea, home to the villages of Poretto and Pozzo. At the top of the hill, the bell tower of the Couvent des Capucins rises among the mature pine trees. At the convent, take the road to the left which heads up to the village centre as far as Piazza Santa Catalina (leave your car in the car park on the right). Hikers will enjoy the climb up to the summit of Monte Stello.
