Surroundings:
The wild romantic region makes a painterly impression, even in winter, due to the tropical palm trees and terraces of olive groves. The surrounding hills are dotted with other beautiful mediaeval towns. Tourism in this region tends to be discrete, the coast not having any large hotels. The Province of Imperia is known for its mild climate, not reaching freezing in winter and not too hot in summer. In January/February the almond trees and mimosas begin to bloom everywhere.
