About Molini di Prelà
Molini di Prelà lies in the hills of Prelà, a small comune about 9 km north-west of Imperia, with Dolcedo, Borgomaro, Carpasio, Montalto Ligure and Vasia as neighbours. In neighbouring Dolcedo, olive growing has been a mainstay since the 12th century. The homes sit tightly together in one spot, so you are choosing a house rather than a village. Most sleep around six, a few take large groups, nearly all have a garden and about half a private pool. Air conditioning is not recorded for them. There is no beach up in these hills, so plan on driving for the sea. Evenings are quiet and out of season the area is very still.
Is Molini di Prelà right for you?
- Best for
- Groups wanting space, gardens and olive hills with the coast nearby
- Not for you if
- You want shops, cafes or a beach reachable without driving.
