While many people endorse the Eastern side of Italian Riviera, one should not forget that the Western side of Liguria has also much to offer, especially to those who seek a more relaxed state of mind and love spending their vacation time in a quiet environment. The area surrounding the city of Imperia is such place: rich in beautiful beaches and close to the Maritime Alps, this is the ideal destination to plunge into the beautiful nature of Liguria. With far less crowded beaches than the Eastern part of the region and glamourous seaside villages such as Portofino or Alassio, this area is also the best to taste the authentic taste of Ligurian cuisine, which is based upon simple, yet savoury local products such as oil, basil, pine nuts, tomatoes and, of course, the freshest fish ever. Along the streets of Imperia, you will smell all these tempting perfumes while enjoying a walk along the seashore or contemplating the ancient palaces of Porto Maurizio, which date back to Middle Ages. And when you’re tired of such a loose pace, you can dive into the borough of Oneglia and enjoy some shopping in its swanky boutiques.
The Western part of Ligurian Riviera has such cultural and environmental richness to offer that one cannot rely exclusively on public transport to get the best out of it. Conversely, by renting a car in Imperia you will be able to explore everything that is in and around it and enjoy it from a local person’s perspective. Driving along the coastline will in fact give you an unparalleled insight on the peculiarities of this part of the region: the soothing blue of sea waves giving way to the lines of olive trees on the hills that abruptly transform into the steepest of mountains, where people go to hike and observe the local fauna. With your rental car, you will get the chance to visit lovely Medieval villages, both on the coastline and the mountains, where the eye will be pleased by the sight of luxuriant forests, centuries-old olive trees, historic olive-oil mills and palaces. And don’t forget that every town has its own food specialties: thanks to Locauto you won’t miss out any of this, having total freedom of movement all along the streets of Liguria. Note that Imperia is located halfway the crescent shape of this region, making it very easy to reach practically any town in Liguria from here. And if you’re planning to move to another Italian region, with our car rentals you will do so without sacrificing any of your vacation time nor renounce to using the car: in fact, you will enjoy the convenience of our extensive network and be able to return your car in a different office than the one you took it from.
While the access to the historic city centre of Imperia is restricted to authorized people only (mainly local business owners), cars can freely move around the rest of city streets. If you need to visit Porto Maurizio, we advise you to drop your car at the nearest parking lot and then move on foot. When done with the exploration of the ancient part of the city, you can move further by car: from our office, it is very simple to get to the main state roads connecting Imperia to the smaller villages and cities located on the coast and the hills. We recommend you following the coastline when you can, as the sight you can enjoy there is priceless. Please don’t hesitate to ask us about the best solution for your travelling needs: we have the best deals for solo travellers, couples and large families too!
