MORE ABOUT THE MARO VALLEY

Maro Castello and Borgomaro lie in the tranquille hinterland of western Liguria, just inland from Imperia. This area offers an authentic glimpse of the Italian Riviera, where traditional village life, nature, and history remain beautifully preserved.

Maro Castello is a small medieval hamlet set on a hillside overlooking the Maro Valley. It features narrow stone alleys, historic houses, and scenic viewpoints across olive groves and forests toward the Alps. The atmosphere is peaceful, with a strong sense of community and a timeless character that appeals to those seeking authenticity.

Below, Borgomaro serves as the valley’s main village, offering everyday amenities such as shops, cafés, bakeries, and restaurants. Its central square is a lively meeting place, hosting markets and local festivals celebrating Ligurian food, wine, and traditions.

The surrounding valley is known for Taggiasca olives and high-quality olive oil, with terraced hills and walking paths connecting small villages. Outdoor activities like hiking and cycling are easily accessible.

Despite its tranquil setting, the coast and the beaches of Imperia are just 25–30 minutes away, offering a perfect balance between nature and convenience.
