About Pietrabruna
Pietrabruna is a small comune of a few hundred people about 11 km west of Imperia, bordering Dolcedo, Taggia, Civezza, Castellaro, Cipressa and Pompeiana. It covers only about 10 square km, so everything is close, and the homes sit in a very tight group in or beside the village. Most sleep around five, a few take big parties, and some have a private pool. Gardens are rarely listed. Some have a fireplace and few have air conditioning. The sea resort of Arma di Taggia and the town of Imperia are both a drive away. Evenings are quiet and out of season the village is very still.
Is Pietrabruna right for you?
- Best for
- Quiet stays in a Ligurian hill village within reach of the coast
- Not for you if
- You want a garden with every house or shops and restaurants within walking distance.
Near Pietrabruna
Taggia
Neighbouring comune in the Valle Argentina, with the sea resort of Arma di Taggia, the Convent of San Domenico and a basilica of 1675 to 1681.
Dolcedo
Neighbouring comune whose seat sits in the lower Prino valley, where olive growing has been a mainstay since the 12th century.

Getting to Pietrabruna
Nice airport is about 80 minutes by road from Pietrabruna, and Genoa is about 100 km away. Public transport is slow, with a train to Ventimiglia then a taxi from Taggia Arma, so most visitors hire a car.
When to go to Pietrabruna
Pools suit summer, and the hill setting makes it a place to sit outside rather than swim in the sea, which is a drive away. A fireplace in some homes helps in cooler months, but few have air conditioning, so ask before booking July or August. Check opening times of village shops before an off-season visit.
