Not too far from the city centre of Imperia (Oneglia), with its many shops, bars restaurants and beaches, is Casa Pellegrino, located in a quiet area. The apartment is on the third floor, and gives you a feeling of warmth and personality as soon as you walk in the door. At your disposal are the two bedrooms, with double beds, a bathroom, kitchen with dining area and a large living room with a pull out sofa. Casa Pellegrino is an ultimate starting point for tours through Imperia, be it visiting the olive museum, a shopping spree through the arcades above the weekly markets or visiting the plentiful fish and speciality restaurants in and around the harbour. Within minutes you are at the beaches of Imperia, and if you have had enough of them, you can start one of the many excursions into the backcountry of Liguria with its many olive groves and vistas. At the end of the day you can relax with a beautiful view of the sea, seated comfortably on your large balcony.

Imperia is the fourth largest town in Liguria. It became a municipality in 1923 as a consequence of the union of Oneglia and Porto Maurizio, two towns on the Western Riviera divided by the mouth of the River Impero.

The two nuclei remain distinct despite the administrative merger and extensive property development.

Porto Maurizio was an ally of Genoa from the thirteenth century onwards, while Oneglia, the natural sea outlet of the Impero Valley, was allied with the House of Savoy from 1576. Oneglia's origins as a town date back to mediaeval times. Worth visiting are Palazzo Doria (now completely transformed), which was the birthplace of Andrea Doria, and the church of San Giovanni Battista. Porto Maurizio, which stands on a promontory, began to develop after 1000 AD: the oldest district is called Parasio. The cathedral and the historic buildings are well worth visiting.

The direct sale of olive oil and wine (Pigato and Vermentino), good restaurants in the area, events throughout the year.
