blowingsky Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I am going to Bordighera for two weeks starting the second week of October. I will be staying up the hill somewhere but expect I will have a lot of time to walk around the town and to take the train to San Remo. Anyone have recommendations? Showing some pictures would be wonderful too, if you have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainer_t Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I just returned from a vacation in that area, but I haven't been in Bordighera. I can recommend Porto Maurizio (the western part of Imperia) about 50Km eastwards from San Remo. (Easy to get there if you have transport.) If you're a bit into artwork (especially paintings) Valloria could be an interesting place for you ... A tiny village where a lot of doors are painted by artists. (About 20Km from Porto Maurizio). Further on (another 25Km eastwards from Porto Maurizo) Laigueglia is a nice small place ... also is Albenga (another 10Km eastwards). Sorry, can't exactly help you with the place you're going to.

charles_sallee Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Sorry I can't give you a real answer. Just wanted to say that I envy you. I'm planning to include it in a wonderful european vacation in a few more years when I retire, assuming that by then our dollar may still be worth at least half a Euro. I'm sure that if Monet enjoyed painting there, you should find it no problem to find suitable subjects to photograph. It looks beautiful from what I've seen. Have fun!

jeffpolaski Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Get a Michelin Green Guide for Italy that includes Bordighera. There is/was a largeish restaurant there called "Erio's", named after the proprietor, a former opera singer. Go there, eat there, dance there, and see if Erio has any suggestions. You won't regret the meal. Don't worry about reading a menu, Erio decides what everyone eats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mileri Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Peter, just a few miles from Bordighera you can find "<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=722414275&size=m&context=set-72157594483645616">Seborga</a>" and "<a href=" but you will need either to rent a car / a scooter or to get a taxi (not sure if there is any bus that gets there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mileri Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 If you go to Dolceacqua, I can suggest to have lunch or dinner at "La Rampa", a small restaurant/pizzeria on the main square, good food at reasonable price. Another picture of "<a href=" "<a href=" is much easier to reach from Bordighera (either bus or train), be sure you don't miss to visit the old town, also know as "<a href=" Pigna</a>". The old town in Ventimiglia is nice as well, but less scenic than Sanremo's "Pigna". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mileri Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Also, "<a href="http://www.comune.triora.im.it/regno%20unito/FRAMEGB/FRAMEGB.HTM">Triora</a>" and "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bussana_Vecchia,_Liguria">Bussana Vecchia</a>" are worth a visit, both a few miles from Bordighera. Again, I am not sure about the possibility to get there by bus, I always went by car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mileri Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Again, Perinaldo and Apricale come to my mind... Here are a few more "<a href="http://www.mangiareinliguria.it/ita/provincia_imperia.php#4">itineraries</a>", all in few miles from Bordighera and Sanremo - I am sorry this link is only in Italian. Get a good map, plan your visit and have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
