Love your casa from the moment you arrive because it gives you a fantastic sea view, and the beach is practically on your doorstep?

Stroll across one of the five bridges and admire the variety of building styles from house to house.
Pure holiday: authentic and loveable at first sight
Explore the picturesque hinterland of Dolcedo. Old natural stone houses made of terracotta and slate are being restored everywhere. However, your apartment is cozier. Your house or apartment in Liguria and the surrounding area makes it easy for you as a guest to get to know everything during a
hiking vacation in Dolcedo. Hike carefree on ancient mule tracks, the well-preserved old mule trails. Spend spring in an affordable apartment or holiday home from a private owner, a casa, cheap to rent. The beach is not far from your apartment, which you can rent at a low price.
Imperia: Behind it are cities like Oneglia and Porto Maurizio. Ideal if you want to rent your own casa with a pool and a view of the sea for yourself and your dog. Would you rather have a comfortable apartment near Dolcedo? The cities were separated by the Impero river. Imperia offers many sights that you should not miss on your vacation in Dolcedo. Your accommodation, like every house, has advantages. You can do what is allowed, and your pet feels comfortable. In an apartment, it's a bit different. Surely you will find another house with a pool that meets your needs as a guest better in the area of Dolcedo. Before you arrive at the apartment, clarify whether your pet is allowed.
Unforgettable historical discoveries
In picturesque Dolcedo, you will be delighted to take photos of one motif after another near your apartment or admire the enchanting ambiance of the place from your vacation apartment. Photography allowed! The Ponte dei Cavalieri di Malta, the oldest bridge, is not far from your holiday home. The once important trading place is still important for Val Prino today. On the Piazza Doria, a large loggia stands out today. The Loggia Suttu Munte was built in 1650 and forms the basis for the town hall above. Your holiday apartment is much more modern. The parish church of San Tommaso was built in the late Middle Ages and later received a baroque facade. The collection of old embroideries is said to be so large here that even the Vatican allows itself to access this collection. Look out for the passage leading to the church. On it, you will find stone hollows with the Genoese coat of arms. The Banco della Ragione is characteristic of Liguria. On your way back to your
vacation apartment in Porto Maurizio, you will discover remnants of the late medieval foundation wall. The Church of San Lorenzo captivates with its high facade and the relatively small towers. Do you see these towers when you stand on the terrace of your holiday home?
Discovering culture on the coast
A recommended excursion destination that you can easily reach from your holiday home in Dolcedo is San Remo. The coastal city in the northwest of Italy impresses with impressive buildings such as the famous Casino San Remo or a Russian Orthodox church adorned with five onion domes. The Cathedral of San Siro was built in the 12th century. Twelve bells in the bell tower promise a harmonious ringing when you walk in the park of Villa Ormond. In the lovingly maintained park, you will find ancient olive groves, palm trees, and even a Japanese garden. A magnificent example of how the climate on the Ligurian coast enlivens the local flora. The popular spa town is still very fashionable today. Here you will find many art galleries and museums. Perhaps there is a painting that reflects your impressions of Dolcedo and the other villages appealingly? You should definitely visit the local history museum. Here you will find the Rambaldi painting gallery. Other attractions include the villa of Alfred Nobel, today's Museum of Scientists, and the ruins of the priest's part of Madonna della Costa. Or are you looking for contrast? A
vacation apartment in Diano San Pietro is ideal for that. Very quiet, very contemplative for a break.
Finest olive oil
As in the Piedmont region, you will find exquisite wines and delicious olive oil in the oak- and chestnut-covered valleys such as the Prino Valley. Resourceful people learned to cultivate the steep slopes and found solutions to extract the high-quality olive oil that you enjoy in your holiday home. The Taggiasca olive oil from your holiday resort Dolcedo is considered the most expensive olive oil among connoisseurs. It's no wonder that many dishes taste special in your holiday home. Fresh herbs such as basil and garlic should not be missing in the menu of your casa, like a cheap holiday home in Porto Maurizio or an apartment with a pet. Terrace cultivation has proven itself. Look forward to culinary delights such as focaccia, the flatbread often filled with cheese, or the famous green pesto. The cream is made from olive oil, basil, pine nuts, grated cheese, and garlic. Pesto without pasta? Unthinkable in
Liguria. You will also enjoy the fruits of the forests such as chestnuts, mushrooms, or snails. The proximity to the sea is evident in the fresh fish such as sardines, anchovies, swordfish, sea bass, or squid. There is much more that the Ligurian cuisine conjures up on your holiday home table.
Sun, sand - heart, what more could you want?
With your destination Dolcedo, you have found the perfect starting point to combine the most beautiful regions of Italy into one holiday. The Cinque Terre with a detour to Portofino in the east or to the Riviera di Ponente in the west. From here, you can reach the seaside resort of San Remo or the port city of Genoa, where explorer Christopher Columbus was born. The Italian town of Ventimiglia in the north of Italy is located in the province of Imperia, close to France. The abbreviation XXmiglia is interesting if you are wondering why the details may be written differently on your tour. For a
relaxing family vacation in Dolcedo on the Ligurian coast, you have come to the right place. A large country house with a sea view, dining in an Italian restaurant in the evening. Everything allowed. Enjoy the wonderful coastal sections and dive into the sea. In between, you can go to a restaurant for a fish platter or hearty pasta dishes. Afterwards, take a stroll along the beach promenade and recharge your batteries with a gelato for the rest of the beach day. This could be the daily routine with your pet, but you are sure to look forward to some excursion destinations or the impressive sights.
Be a guest here: Interesting insights into the hinterland are allowed
One of the highlights of your holiday in Dolcedo is a visit to the Saracen fortress village of Ripalta, six kilometers from Dolcedo. Picturesquely located in the Val Prino, the village is a protected monument. From here, you will gain unforgettable panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea. The rugged cliffs and steep slopes testify to how difficult it was for the population to sometimes wrest something from the soil. The lively landscape is appealing for a last-minute vacation in
Diano Marina. The lush terrace cultures form an exciting contrast to the exotic gardens of many cities and regions lining the sea. The landscape painter Ludwig Winter laid the foundation for the floral decoration on the Riviera di Ponente as a gardener.
