About Civezza
Civezza is a hilltop village in the province of Imperia, small enough that its population is counted in hundreds. The sea is about 4 km away and Imperia, the provincial capital, about 7 km to the east. Five towers were built in the 16th century against Saracen pirates, and the main church is dedicated to St Mark, whose day on 25 April is the village's saint's day. Olive oil and wine are the traditional products. Everyday services are limited to a few shops, bars, a restaurant and a pharmacy, and a public bus runs to Imperia and San Lorenzo al Mare at least four times a day. The homes are grouped tightly around the village. Many have a private pool and a garden, most sleep around four, and a few sleep ten. The weather is warm but windy in every season.

How far is Civezza from the sea?
About 4 km. Civezza sits on a hilltop above the coast, so the beach is a short drive rather than a walk. Imperia, the provincial capital, is about 7 km east.
Is there public transport in Civezza?
A little. A public bus runs at least four times a day to Imperia and San Lorenzo al Mare. That is enough for an occasional trip, but most guests hire a car for shopping, beaches and flexibility.
What is in Civezza village itself?
Not much beyond the basics: a few shops, bars, a restaurant and a pharmacy. The main church is San Marco Evangelista, and five towers survive from the 16th century anti-pirate defences.
Do homes in Civezza have private pools?
Many do, which is one reason people book here. Pools and gardens vary from home to home, so check each listing. The climate is warm and windy in all seasons.
Is Civezza or Imperia the better base?
Civezza gives a quiet hill setting and, often, a pool. Imperia is the larger coastal city with its old Porto Maurizio quarter, a working port at Oneglia and restaurants on the quay. Civezza suits those who prefer peace to walking distance to the sea.
