Description
On the outskirts of Diano Marina, about 800 meters from the seaside, you will find Casa Mandorla nestling in its tranquil surroundings. The apartment has ample space for four people, comprising a bedroom with double bed, a living room with a pull-out sofa, and a kitchen and bathroom. On the terrace in front of the house you can sit back and enjoy a glass of Italian red or white, and just relax. Within easy walking distance you will find bars, shops, cafés and the beach. As a point of departure for hiking, outings into the hinterland, or and up and down the superb coast, Casa Mandorla is perfect.
location details: Diano Marina
On the plain that is crossed by the San Pietro river, an area showing signs of Iron Age settlement, there once stood "Lucus Bormani", the sacred wood dedicated to the water god Borman, which in Roman times became an important resting place along the Via Julia Augusta. Saracen incursions in the later Middle Ages forced the inhabitants to take to the highlands, but from the thirteenth century onwards Diano expanded and became especially important as a commercial centre for the sea trading of olive oil.
After the town was destroyed by an earthquake in 1887, reconstruction work gave Diano an appearance typical of a nineteenth-century Riviera town. The parish church of Sant'Antonio Abate on the Via Aurelia dates from 1862: the marble altars date from the seventeenth century and are situated in the neo-classical interior near to frescoes and paintings from the Genoese school, including the "Death of Saint Joseph" by Luca Cambiaso. The civic museum tells the story of Diano Marino through the centuries and preserves archaeological exhibits from pre-Roman and Roman times (including amphorae and vases from a ship that sank off the coast) and objects from the Napoleonic era and the Risorgimento.
Since Diano was rebuilt, tourism has been the undisputed vocation of a town which offers sandy beaches surrounded by Mediterranean maquis. With its tourist harbour and facilities and the opportunity to practise a variety of sports (from traditional diving to go-karting, bowling and minigolf), Diano Marina is the heart of the Gulf. If you wish, you can take a boat that passes by the most important locations along the Riviera dei Fiori and takes you to do some whale-watching off the coast.
A great event is the is a marvellous display of flowers during the solemn time of Corpus Domini (between May and June): the streets of the town are covered with flowers arranged in special patterns.

War echt okay

Waren bestens versorgt, nur die Stecker waren schwierig. Die Adapter passten mal ja, mal nein, es waren zwei verschiedene, hatten immer Umsteckaktionen. Fernsehen nur auf italienisch, kann man vielleicht vermerken. Das war für uns nicht so schlimm, aber manche brauchen es vielleicht.Sonst war alles da, man darf natürlich im Urlaub nie erwarten, den Komfort von zu Hause zu haben!!! s.v., etwas eng aufeinander, aber nicht zu ändern! Valloria- Ort mit bemalten Haustüren. Cerva Liebe Besitzer, Verständigung klappte auf Französisch und mit Händen und Füssen. Wenn was war, musste man sich nur melden. Sie hat auch alles erklärt (Gasherd, Espressokanne...)und wir fühlten uns nie beobachtet oder kontrolliert. Liebe Grüsse an die Beiden, wenn Sie sie wieder kontaktieren!

Wir habe in dem Ferienhaus einen sehr schönen Urlaub verbracht! Danke!

Schöne Außenanlage, keine Verbesserungsvorschläge. Eine empfehlenswerte Sightseeing-Tour ist die Altstadt von Genua (mit der Bahn per IC, am besten mit Reservierung). Als schöner Badeort ist mir Lalgueglia aufgefallen. Die Buchung per Internet-Portal ist angenehm einfach. Eine größere Foto-Übersicht bei den Ferien-Objekten wäre noch hilfreicher.

Alassio ist eine Reise wert. Abends empfiehlt sich ein kleines Cafe oder Bar.

Would only suggest better reading lights in the bedroom and sitting room. No, it was beautiful, as I said the family works very hard to have a beautiful home. Just to take advantage of the great public transportation and visit other cities on the Riviera. Thank you for sending this to me. I got busy after getting back home and did not take the time to send feedback and this gave me the opportunity.

Hallo Familie Cocca, Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr schön. Die Bewohner des Hauses waren alle sehr nett. Die Realität übertrifft noch die Beschreibung der Wohnung (kommt leider selten vor ), nur die Dusche konnte sich nie zwischen heiß und kalt entscheiden. Da das Wetter mitgespielt hat waren die Launen der Dusche jedoch unbedeutend. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Familie Neitzel
