The Cinque Terre is a famously beautiful stretch of the Italian coastline that is particularly well-known for affording some of the most scenic and picturesque views in the entire world: imagine scenery that looks like something plucked right from the cinema screen or the front of a postcard - but in real life! Imperia, while not actually one of the five villages that make up this beloved and internationally renowned tourist destination, is part of the same coastline in Liguria and offers plenty of charm and equally incredible views (often at a slightly lower price point, as well). In fact, a great number of our vacation rentals in Imperia boast truly remarkable sea views that you can wake up to each and every morning and have as the last thing you see before you turn in each evening. So, if you’re in need of some impressive panoramas, fresh sea air, beautiful surroundings, some Ligurian charm, and a gorgeous getaway on the coast in Italy then why not consider booking one of our amazing villas in Imperia?
Take, for example, Casa Matilde - Villa Alle Cascine, a spacious 2-bedroom apartment in a quiet neighbourhood of town that boasts perhaps the best views over Imperia and the Ligurian coastline that we’ve ever seen from a property! This gem has a living room and kitchen that open onto a wide terrace to one end of the flat and this directly overlooks the town. On this terrace, you will find a pretty iron table and chair set for four people, perfectly designed for sipping on a morning coffee or a glass of wine while the sun sets over the water. Inside, you can enjoy those same views between television shows, chats, and meals as you lounge and dine in the living room and dining room space that boasts large windows and glass doors leading onto the terrace. Similarly, while making meals in the kitchen you can admire views through to the living room and through not one but two different sets of glass doors leading onto the terrace from the room and a big window! From the double bedroom there are windows that offer glimpses over the views through some trees and from the bedroom with two twin beds the view is largely of more trees and greenery. However, the moment you step into the living spaces of this lovely apartment, you will constantly be able to take in those impressive scenes over Imperia and the coast. So, if you want to admire this gorgeous part of the world from morning to evening, as the light changes and plays over the landscape and sea, enjoy the sweetest and freshest of air, and generally have stunning scenery as the backdrop while you do everything, then this gem of an apartment is a perfect holiday destination!
Located in the same building, Casa Marco – Villa Alle Cascine, is another 2-bedroom apartment that affords similar views over the town below and the Ligurian coastline nearby. The floorplan and layout of the two apartments is almost exactly the same and the views offered throughout are pretty much identical. The only main difference is that this apartment is decorated in a more funky and colourful style. The living room is bright and eclectic in a more modern sense while the kitchen is done in orange and yellow hues reminiscent of the sixties with direct references to the decade in some details such as certain items of furniture and the geometric pattern on the tiles. So, not only can you admire the sunny landscapes that surround but you can further brighten your mood with the equally sunny interiors of this gem. Casa Marco really is a happy pill of a place in which to unwind on your vacation in Liguria!
If you want to enjoy similarly lovely views in Imperia but prefer to be a little closer to all of the action, then we cannot recommend Vista Mare Borgo Peri enough. This wonderful 2-bedroom apartment is located in the centre of Imperia Oneglia, one of the two parts of which Imperia is composed, directly overlooking the private beach and pool of Sogni d’Estate. There are also many other beaches, both private and public, paid and free, that can be found within walking distance of the apartment, giving you plenty of options to choose from. From the terrace of the apartment you can take in the port, the beaches, and the town while you sit out and dine, you can scope out the beach below for spots and to see how busy it is before even stepping foot out of the building, and you can sit back on the outdoor couch and chairs to take in sweet sea breezes and to watch the sun set. Inside, in the open-plan living room and kitchen, you can take in these same coastal scenes through the windows and glass doors opening onto the terrace while you prepare meals and relax inside. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, also open directly out onto the terrace and frame particularly pretty views of the charming town and glimpses of the glittering sea. So, while you won’t get the same panoramic scenes encompassing the entire surrounding area that the previous two apartments boast, you will be afforded some truly charming and direct sea and town views, showing you all of the wonderful amenities and attractions that are just at your fingertips with this incredible vacation rental in Imperia.
Villa Bella Vista Poggi is another apartment in a 2-until villa that is located high up above Imperia and the village of Poggi that boasts some truly spectacular panoramic vistas over the town and coast. However, this gem of a 2-bedroom property also takes in sweeping views of the stunning hills and valleys inland that are equally beautiful and worth admiring. In fact, from this holiday rental in Imperia, one can admire the coast, town, and impressive mountains and tree-covered hills of this part of Liguria all at once and it is a rather extraordinary sight to behold. While anyone staying here will have to definitely get in the car more frequently to reach the towns below and the beaches a minimum of 5km away, there is also a shop, restaurant, and a bar just 1km away. A patio outside the property with outdoor furniture is the best place to truly take it all in but one can also admire the scenery through the glass doors leading out from the kitchen while going about daily activities. Simple and comfortable, the real selling point of this inexpensive apartment is its setting and those truly magical views below.
With plenty of charm as a town and endless natural beauty surrounding it, Imperia is a perfect vacation destination in Liguria and ideal if you’re looking for that Cinque Terre lifestyle at a slightly lower price point and just slightly off the beaten track for many international tourists. The above properties are just a selection of those in the area that boast some truly remarkable views and if you are interested in waking up to these kinds of dreamy scenes every day, enjoying them as you go about your business, and ending your day watching the sun set over those panoramas throughout your holiday then that is just one more reason to start browsing our vacation rentals in Imperia right now...
