Hotels Imperia

The town of Imperia is formed of two city centers: Porto Maurizio and Oneglia and both had different historic origins: Porto Maurzio was most probably a Roman town while Oneglia was first a Doria Family property and then the Duchy of Savoia principal port on the sea.


Imperia is a modern port, a commercial and industrial center in the Riviera Ligure di Ponente (sunset riviera) it is crossed by the river Impero that separates Oneglia from Porto Maurizio. Located in a magnificent position Porto Maurizio clungs onto the Parasio promontory while Oneglia stretches along the gulf of Imperia, nowdays also a pretty sun-bathing resort in Liguria.

Merged in a sole municipality both Porto Maurizio and Oneglia were once rival villages and had even a commercial competition, battles of feud between families and a different administrative organization.
Rivalry was mainly due to the fact that Porto Maurizio trusted the Doria family and Genoa while Oneglia loyalty was for the Italian royal family of Savoia. In 1923 this rivalry ended thanks to the opening of the town hall palace set on an equidistant location along the road that links both city centers.

The city of Imperia is famous for its olive oil companies and it is equipped of a tourist port that acts as a fulcrum for the marine tourism, important economic resource of the Riviera dei Fiori (the flowers coastline) bound together to a good hotel and restaurant acitivity. To visit is the imposing cathedral of San Maurizio and from the Dome square one gets in the ancient city called Parasio, a tipical part  defended on the cape with some buildings of medieval age, the convent of Santa Chiara and the oratory of San Pietro.
