Pontedassio suits families and groups who want a roomy inland base in the Impero valley, about 6 km north of Imperia. Homes are on the larger side, often with three bedrooms, so check each listing for a pool. The catch is that beach days mean driving down to the coast.
Pontedassio is a small inland comune of a little over 2,000 people in the province of Imperia, spread over 14.5 square kilometres of the valley of the Impero. The stream rises near Monte Grande in the Ligurian Alps and runs past Pontedassio to the Ligurian Sea at Oneglia. The comune takes in hamlets such as Villa Viani, which was a comune in its own right until 1928. Our homes are spread around the comune rather than in one village, so most stays mean driving to the coast for the beach. Expect quiet nights rather than a resort.
The town about 6 km south of Pontedassio; the Impero stream runs on from the comune to reach the Ligurian Sea at Oneglia.

Pontedassio lies about 6 km north of Imperia and about 90 km south-west of Genoa. A car is close to essential, because the homes are spread around the comune and the beach means a drive down to Imperia.
About 6 km. Pontedassio sits inland, north of Imperia, and the Impero stream that runs through the comune reaches the Ligurian Sea at Oneglia, so beach days mean a short drive.
Yes, on space. Homes here typically sleep five to eight across three bedrooms, so groups can spread out; check each listing for a pool and the outdoor space you need.
