Ville San Pietro suits couples and small families after a quiet hamlet at around 500 metres in the hills inland from Imperia. Its August feast for San Pietro in Vincoli is known across the province for spaghetti alla Beretuna. With about 110 residents, plan on a car for everything.
Ville San Pietro is a hamlet of about 110 people on a slope at the foot of Monte Moro, at around 508 metres. It was a comune in its own right until 1928, when it was merged into Borgomaro. Its history follows Borgomaro's: a fief of the counts of Ventimiglia, then of the Lascaris di Tenda from 1455, the Savoy from 1575 and, after a spell under the Doria, the Savoy again. The parish church of San Pietro in Vincoli is an 18th-century work by Filippo Marvaldi. The SP 25 road runs through towards the hamlet of Conio. The homes are close together and sleep up to seven; only some have a private pool, so check each listing.
