La proprietà — Greta
The Greta is a compact family-run three-star in the western part of Imperia, a block back from the port. The lobby is clean and functional, all pale tiles and a small reception desk often staffed by the owner, who will point you to the nearest beach or restaurant without fuss. The USP is total convenience for a one-night stop near the marina, with a small rooftop terrace for evening drinks. Best for travellers who need a straightforward base to sleep and shower, not a resort experience.
Cronache di Imperia
Imperia was created in 1923 by merging two rival towns: Porto Maurizio (the old fishing port, up on the hill) and Oneglia (the industrial plain with the olive oil mills). This dual identity still defines the city: the elegant Ligurian stone lanes of Porto Maurizio sit opposite the functional grid of Oneglia, where the big olive-oil cooperatives are based. Today it’s a working port and commercial centre for the Riviera di Ponente, with a strong agricultural heritage in oil and wine, and a notably practical, no-nonsense atmosphere compared to neighbouring Sanremo. The city’s modern cultural identity leans into that functional pride: good markets, a decent seafood restaurant scene, and a daily life that feels more lived-in than resort-curated.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Imperia →I migliori mesi
June and September – both offer warm sea temperatures (22°C+), long daylight, and reliable sun without the July/August full-on tourist crush. June has the longest days and emptier beaches; September water is still bath-warm and prices start to drop.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak: school holidays pack the Ligurian coast, and Imperia’s free beaches and campsites fill up fast. Hotel prices at three-stars like the Greta can rise 30–40% over shoulder rates. The main event is the 'Sagra del Pesce' (fish festival) in late August in Oneglia, drawing big crowds for the fried seafood.
Stagione di spalla
May and late September are the best shoulder months: temperatures are 20–24°C, accommodation 20–30% cheaper than July, and the water is still swimmable. Fewer tourists on the Lungomare and a more relaxed vibe.
Meteo e imballaggio
Imperia can get a sudden afternoon sea breeze even in midsummer, dropping the temperature by 5°C. Pack a light windproof jacket or cardigan for evenings and early mornings, even if the day is scorching.
Briefing della città — Imperia
- The new pedestrian zone on Via Roma in Porto Maurizio, completed late 2025, now links the harbour to the old town with wider pavements and shade structures – good for a stroll in the evening.
- The train station (Imperia-Oneglia) is currently under platform works until late 2026, so check for possible short platform changes or delays on regional services; the station itself remains open.
- A major olive oil tasting market is set for the last weekend of June 2026 at Piazza Dante in Oneglia, timed for the start of the season – expect stalls, local producers and temporary road closures nearby.
