Description

The \"Olives Forever\" is probably the best way to translate the name of these three apartments, as an old olive mill is the framework of the apartments Blu, Verde e Bianco. The town of Torria lies about 400 metres high on the slopes of the Impero valley, which allows the visitor a breathtaking vista of the surrounding area with the peaks, of up to 1000 metres, of the ligurian alps. The lovely furnished apartments are modern and bright, and therefore offer a very homely and comfortable ambience. All of the apartments have satellite TVs. From the terrace, one looks down onto the community garden. The path to the centre of town is less than 100 metres long, and in town one can pamper oneself with the native specialities of the restaurant \"La Remissa\", and do some grocery shopping, as well as buying fresh bread in the mornings. At the large parking lot in front of the house are the trailheads for the hiking and biking trails, and to the sandy beaches of Imperia it is only a 20-25 minute drive. All apartments have access to the swimming pool and common garden.

local places of interest

location details: Chiusanico

The ancient town of Chiusanico lies on a ridge, where oak and chestnut woods alternate with hills covered with olive groves. According to a tradition that is corroborated by some researchers, this was the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, although there is no general agreement among historians.

During mediaeval times, Chiusanico was the main centre in the Monte Arosio territory, which was dominated by the Clavesana family.Some portals and buildings at Castello date back to the thirteenth century, such as the single-nave church of San Lorenzo. The church of Santo Stefano dates from later times and still has some splendid eighteenth-century polychrome marble work; it was rebuilt in neo-classical style by the architect Gaetano Cantoni. Inside the church, you can admire a painting of Santo Stefano by Giulio De Rossi (1579).

The masterpiece of Chiusanico, however, is to be found in the parish church of Gazzelli: this is a priceless painting attributed to Domenico Piola showing the Virgin Mary visiting Elisabeth (early seventeenth century).

Torria also offers some works of art that are well worth seeing: the drinking-trough beneath a sixteenth-century loggia, a bas-relief dated 1477 in the parish church of San Martino, the oratory of the Disciplinati della Santissima Annunziata and the sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve. This district is the venue for a biennial photography competition; the sports complex is equipped for fencing competitions. You can take the path leading from an ancient stone wash-house in Torria and make your way up to the sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve and, passing through the woods, continue on to the San Giacomo pass and Monte Arosio. The industrial and commercial municipality of Chiusanico is well known for its superior quality olive oil and its classic Pigato and Vermentino wines.

location details: Torria





Torria is quietly located on a mountaintop above Chiusanico / Pontedassio, about 25 minutes from the sea and Imperia. It has a superb panoramic view of the valley.

A small grocer’s and two good restaurants are located nearby.

Just below Gazzelli, you can purchase the much awarded “Rocca di San Nicola” wine straight from the vineyard (Vermentino and Pigato). Excellent olive oil is also available, which is free of pesticides because it has been grown at altitudes above 400 m. This is also where lots of hiking or mountainbike trails start.

Es war alles vorhanden und wir finden, dass der Vermieter die Ausstattung sehr liebevoll gewählt hat. Wir haben dieses Jahr Albenga, Ventimillia und Dolceaqua besucht, war alles sehenswert. Schön ist auch das Olivenmuseum in Imperia. Essen waren wir im Restaurant vor Ort und haben ein 10-Gänge-Menue im Agritourismo Che de Maisce verspeist, war beides wirklich gut. Vielen Dank für alles!


29.09.2010 - 06.10.2010, Detlef G. (DE)

Vom Objekt aus den Berg auf der rechten Seite weiterlaufen, Richtung Speichersee. Sehr schöne Aussicht auf den Ort Torria. Alter Stadtteil Imperias Porto Maurizio sollte unbedingt besucht werden. Grosses Einkaufszentrum auf dem Weg nach Imperia.--> BENETT ( große rote Buchstaben, re.Seite )


21.08.2010 - 28.08.2010, Sylvia N. (DE)

Ein zweiter Liegestuhl wäre toll, der Garten und die Terrasse waren ansonsten wirklich toll !!


18.07.2009 - 25.07.2009, Ernest P. (GB)

Don\'t think it could be made better!!!! Both restarants are great however the one is a bit out of the way. There is no shop n the village as it is in the next village down. Directions to Bennets would be good. Take the time to explore the valley and various villages Milko the host was AWESOME! A very nice man and his place is a shining star in your renta catalogue


17.09.2011 - 01.10.2011, Sebastian H. (DE)

Austattung ausreichend gut, etwas bessere Küchenutensilien (Messer, Töpfe & Co.) wäre schön. Restaurant Ca de Maisce von Torria aus Ri. Cesio. (etwa 1 km). Tel. Voranmeldung unter 0183 52778 oder 333 9767622


17.07.2012 - 26.07.2012, marie d. (FR)

2 einzelne Matratzen im Doppelbett würden den Schlafkomfort erhöhen


11.06.2012 - 19.06.2012, Theo F. (DE)

Die Ausstattung der Außenanlagen ist sehr gut. Ein gutes Restaurant ist ie \"Remissa\" an der Piazza von Torria. Keine Beanstandungen!


08.08.2009 - 15.08.2009, Gerhard S. (DE)

Liebevoll gepflegter Garten und Terrasse- könnte nicht schöner sein. Sogar im August alles noch satt grün,da Milco nachts immer fleissig gegossen hat! Ein Besuch der Grotten von Toirano und des Ristorante Da Tunu in Dolcedo. Ebenso ist das Olivenmuseum Olio Carli in Imperia (das zudem Kostenfrei ist) sehr empfehlenswert. Hausbesitzer Milco hat sich super um alles gekümmert und ist wirklich gastfreundlich.


03.07.2010 - 17.07.2010, Christine E. (DE)

Alles bestens! Sehr netter Vermieter, verwöhnte uns mit Kuchen, Marmelade, frischem Obst und Gemüse.


01.08.2011 - 13.08.2011, Carmen (DE)

Objekt ist ausreichend eingerichtet; der liebevoll gestaltete Garten erhält 100 Punkte. Genua ( Aquarium), Ventimilia ( Wochenmarkt Freitags ) San Remo; Cervo ( klassisches Konzert bei der Kirche); Alassio ( tolle Einkaufsmöglichkeiten; öffentlicher Parkplatz bei der Kirche!!) I like LIGURIEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
