Costarainera

Costarainera is a small village in Liguria, in the province of Imperia, set on the hills overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, not far from the neighbouring seaside resort of San Lorenzo al Mare. Perched on a hillside surrounded by olive groves, this quiet hamlet retains a typically Ligurian character, with narrow lanes, stone houses and a peaceful atmosphere well away from the bustle of the coast. The area is renowned for its extra virgin olive oil production and for the terraced landscapes typical of this stretch of the Riviera dei Fiori. From Costarainera, several walking trails lead into the Ligurian hinterland, offering fine views over the coastline. Nearby coastal towns such as Imperia, Diano Marina and San Remo provide beaches, marinas and lively tourist amenities, all just a short drive away. The mild Mediterranean climate favours outdoor pursuits throughout the year, from hiking to cycling, as well as exploring the local heritage, including the churches and sanctuaries typical of Ligurian villages. Costarainera appeals to those seeking a calm stay rooted in rural Ligurian authenticity, while remaining close to the coast's seaside attractions.
