Inland from the Riviera dei fiori ( Imperia, Liguria)
If you are looking for the real heart of Liguria with its ocre coloured houses, medieval villages and the scent of basil and rosemary then you must be prepared to travel along the Val Roya, with its olive tree covered hillsides, or as far as the Valle delle Meraviglie, to the dense woodlands and marvelous lakes where you can also take a horse ride around the lakes.
Or take a trip to the Val Nervia that is famous for its extraordinary landscapes that has long inspired artists with its colours, scents and tastes.
Dolceacqua, dominated by the imposing Castello dei Doria, is celebrated for its production of the Rossese and Vermentino Wines. Apricale with its frescoed churches and Pigna, the ancient soul of Sanremo, a charming nook of alleyways, steps, arches and small squares.
