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.

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.

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.

Nee dit was prima in orde


11.06.2011 - 18.06.2011, Margot S. (DE)

Die Außenanlage war sehr schön und sehr gepflegt. was aus den Bildern nicht unbedingt so gleich hervorgeht: der Pool befindet sich nicht im Garten sondern neben den Parkplätzen Den schönsten Badestrand fanden wir in Laigueglia; kostet zwar 15 Euro/Tag, ist aber echt sauber und mit kleineren Kindern unbedingt zu empfehlen Toll war auch ein Ausflug nach Dolceacqua und wir haben superlecker und sehr kostengünstig bei Katarina in der Pizzeria Pizza und Pasta gegessen.

Sanremo ist eine herrliche Stadt zum anschauen und einkaufen. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Dolcedo ist ein sehr schönes Dorf mit guten Restaurants. Zu Sommerferienzeit August, wenn die Italiener auch Urlaub machen, sind die Strände sehr voll. Parkplätze waren kaum bzw. nicht zu finden. Die Grotte ist sehr zu empfehlen. Beim Whalewatching darf man nicht zu hohe Erwartungen hegen, wir habe uns gefreut, Delphine gesehen zu haben. Es ist eine lange Fahrt und für die Kinder z. Teil langweilig.

Es ist alles sehr liebevoll gestaltet, es fehlt an nichts.


06.06.2009 - 20.06.2009, Rolf O. (DE)
