Between olive groves and green hills, just a few kilometres from the Ligurian coast near Imperia, lies the charming village Dolcedo . Steeped in medieval atmosphere, this picturesque town is a hidden gem that avoids the bustle of the Riviera and offers peace, history and authenticity.

Dolcedo is crossed by the rippling river Prino, with stone bridges that connect the charming streets. The village consists of colorful houses, small squares, old windmills and narrow alleys that invite you to get lost.

The San Tommaso Church , with its impressive baroque façade, towers proudly over the village square and offers stunning views of the valley.


The Dolcedo area is famous for its high quality olive oil , from the taggiasche olive. Local producers are happy to give you a glimpse into their traditional processes — and, of course, tasting should not be missed. Walkers and cyclists also get their money's worth here, with numerous trails through the Prino Valley and surrounding hills.

Whether you're looking for an authentic Italian experience, peace and nature, or a base to explore the Ligurian Riviera: Dolcedo is an ideal destination. A village that you leave with a smile — and that you will undoubtedly long to return to.
