The Property — Marligure
The Marligure is a straightforward, no-fuss three-star on Imperia's seaside promenade, with sea views from many rooms and a small rooftop terrace. The lobby feels like a modest Italian hotel from the 1970s: tiled floors, a front desk with a friendly local manager, and a strong scent of espresso. It suits travellers who want a clean, affordable base for exploring the Ligurian coast without any frills or design pretensions.
Chronicles of Imperia
Imperia was created in 1923 by merging two rival towns: Porto Maurizio (the historic bishopric) and Oneglia (the industrial port). Porto Maurizio has a medieval core with narrow caruggi and a cathedral, while Oneglia has a more 19th-century grid layout with olive oil facilities. The city's identity has long been tied to the olive oil trade—the DOP Riviera Ligure oil is produced here—and its white-sand beaches draw families. Today Imperia is a quiet, sun-baked place that feels more lived-in than touristy, with a working port and a small but loyal summer clientele.
Best Time to Visit
Full Imperia guide →Best months
June and September offer settled warm weather (25–28°C) without the August crowds; May is also pleasant, though the sea may still be cool.
Peak / festival surge
August is the busiest month across the Italian Riviera, with Italians on holiday and beach clubs full. Hotel prices at the Marligure can double or more compared to June; the main events are local beach parties and the town's summer sagre (food festivals) in Oneglia.
Budget shoulder season
May and October deliver discounts of 30–50% on summer rates, with manageable crowds and mild temperatures (around 20°C in May, 18°C in October). The sea is swimmable from June, but October is better for walking and sightseeing.
Weather & packing
Imperia can get a humid, sticky midday heat even in low season due to the lack of coastal breeze. Pack a light linen jacket or cardigan for evenings—the temperature drops sharply after sundown even in summer.
Live City Briefing — Imperia

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Marligure, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, rear side of the building (courtyard-facing). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within easy reach if the lift is small or slow. The rear aspect avoids the main Via Aurelia traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (especially those facing Via Aurelia) as they suffer from direct street noise from passing cars, scooters, and pedestrians. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor — lifts in 3-star hotels can be noisy, especially early morning and late evening.
Best views
Rooms on the front side (Via Aurelia) will have a view of the street and possibly glimpses of the sea if the building is on the coastal stretch. Rear rooms offer a quieter courtyard or neighbouring building view, which is less scenic but much more peaceful.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors — far enough from street level but not at the top where roof machinery or attic noise might be an issue.
🔊 Noise notes
Via Aurelia is a main coastal road in Imperia, carrying local and through traffic, especially scooters and delivery vans in the morning (7–9am) and evening (5–7pm). There may also be noise from the hotel's own bar/restaurant on the ground floor until late.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, ask about free or discounted parking options — 3-star hotels on Via Aurelia often have a private garage or an arrangement with a nearby lot. 2. Request a room at least 24 hours in advance, ideally by phone, mentioning 'piano alto e cortile' (upper floor, courtyard side) — direct requests are more likely to be honoured than booking notes.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
