Chalet in San Bartolomeo al Mare

The cluster sits in the lower valley behind Diano Marina, with the Ligurian Alps rising inland and short olive-covered hills between the village and the sea. The Ligurian Sea and the beaches of the Golfo Dianese are within a few kilometres. This part of western Liguria is known for olive groves and olive oil, especially the Taggiasca cultivar. Imperia is the nearest larger town, with a full range of services and a working harbour. Cervo, on the same gulf, is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia.
