In the heart of Valle Impero, Borgomaro is a small treasure of 300 inhabitants that holds the most authentic essence of Liguria. Here, where the Maro stream meets the Trexenda to form the Impero River, our albergo diffuso welcomes you in a timeless atmosphere. The name “Maro,” of ancient Ligurian origin, already tells the story of this place: it comes from “Macra,” referring to the water that has always characterized this valley.

A village made for people, where the houses are arranged in a harmonious grid of streets planned by the Lascaris, ancient lords of these lands.

Historic bridges cross the canals (beudi) that once powered mills and olive oil presses, while noble buildings like the Ventimiglia Tower House (1481) narrate centuries of history. The spiritual heart of the village is the 17th-century church of Sant’Antonio Abate, adorned with stuccoes, paintings, and a magnificent 18th-century marble pulpit. But it is our Don Matteo, with his warm presence, who makes this church truly special.
