Charming 19th-century apartment in Borgomaro

Borgomaro, a charming medieval village rich in history, is located in the Maro Valley and surrounded by picturesque hamlets on the nearby hills. Since the 1300s, it has been well known for the production and sale of Taggiasca olive oil. The village is crossed by the Impero stream, whose waters have historically powered the washhouses, olive mills, and grain mills, some of which are still visible today. The stream now flows silver-like, forming small scenic ponds. Borgomaro is home to numerous historical monuments, particularly its Baroque churches. A must-see is the Pieve di San Nazario e Celso, a three-nave church with ancient frescoes located just outside the village center—a magical spot among olive trees, where peace and serenity reign. The church often hosts concerts and cultural events. The village offers accommodation options of every level and traditional restaurants where visitors can savor local specialties, such as Conio beans, highly prized, or during the Christmas season, the Pandolce di Borgomaro, made with simple yet genuine ingredients. Nature lovers will find many opportunities for hiking and cycling, thanks to an excellent network of trails that explore the valley. Borgomaro is easily accessible from the Imperia Est motorway exit. It is about 20 minutes from the sea, 1 hour 30 minutes from Genoa and Nice airports, 50 minutes from Sanremo, and 1 hour 15 minutes from Monte Carlo.
