Home description
The Ramello family run agritourism country holidays in Pietrabruna, a small village located in inland Liguria at 350m above sea level, in the province of Imperia, a mere 10km from the sea. The apartment with terrace overlooks a magnificent valley of olive groves. It was recently renovated in keeping with local architecture, using typical materials such as slate, stone and wood. The furnishing has also been chosen with care: there are antique cupboards, wooden tables and period furniture.

The North West Italy / Italian Riviera/Liguria region
We are in the heart of the Western Ligurian Riviera, 15 minutes from the sea yet at the same time immersed in the lush green of inland Liguria, with a breathtaking backdrop of mountains. The Ligurian Riviera is greatly renowned for its mild climate. Summers are invariably hot. However its altitude (350m above sea level) ensures that the nights are almost always cool. Winters are never harsh and it is often possible to eat outdoors, under the olive groves, whose silvery green lend a unique atmosphere to the countryside. Temperatures are also very comfortable throughout spring and autumn. The apartments are situated in the historic centre of Pietrabruna, 15 minutes from San Lorenzo al Mare, 20 minutes from Imperia and 30 minutes from Diana Marina, San Bartolomeo al Mare, Arma di Taggia and Bussana Vecchia (historic Bussana); 40 minutes from Sanremo and from Alassio; less than an hour away from the Cote d’Azur, Menton, Nice and Montecarlo, and an hour’s distance from Genova.
San Remo / Pietrabruna area
For those keen on sailing and swimming the “Circolo velico” (“Sailing club”) and the swimming pool in Imperia, for people fond of diving the sea beds off Ventimiglia are highly recommended for their exciting and rich tapestry of deep sea marine life. For mountain bike enthusiasts we suggest the wonderful routes in the Argentina Valley run by “Argentina Bike”. In the Arroscia Valley the fearless can go paragliding in the vicinity of Colle San Bernardo di Mendatica, or kayaking in the waters of the Arroscia stream, in the series of gorges situated between Montegrosso Pian di Latte and Ponti di Pornassio, above all in the stretch between Ponti di Pornassio and Pieve di Teco, or practise free climbing in Loreto, in the Argentina Valley or canyoning in the Argentina River gorges. Last but not least are our ski lovers: at about two hours’ distance from Pietrabruna you will find the ski slopes of Monesi, Limone Piemonte, Prato Nevoso and Frabosa. Summer is a time when concerts and festivals particularly flourish. Whatever your musical tastes are, you will find a festival to fit it. Blues festival in Sanremo, jazz festival in Nice, classical music festival in Cervo. Not only music is catered for however. The local “sagre” (culinary events combined with music and dance) are characteristic of, and abound in, the region, where you can sample the regional cuisine and finest local wines at a reasonable price. The Italian Riviera has something for everyone. You will never forget your holiday there.
