Location
The villa is just a 3-minute walk from the beach and the promenade. A stroll along the seafront takes you past marinas, excellent restaurants and bars, as well as Imperia’s lovely orange and terracotta coloured buildings.

Away from the coast, there is plenty to see and do. There are extensive cycle routes in the hills behind the city. Alternatively, for some real adventure, guests can try canyoning in the Ligurian Alps, starting from Triora (1 hour 10 minutes).

For self-catering the Mercato Andrea Doria (Wednesday and Saturday) is a treasure trove of local produce, which you can then enjoy back home. Otherwise, there are many smaller shops and supermarkets within easy reach.

The closest airports are in Nice, France (1 hour and 15 minutes) and Genoa (1 hour and 25 minutes).

This villa offers its guests laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Imperia villa is smoke free.
