Villa for sale in Via Genova, Perinaldo, Imperia, Liguria, Italy

The history of the “La Riana” Hotel goes back to 1967 when the house was built at an exceptional location on the village outskirts of Perinaldo by a local family.

Perinaldo with its charming medieval centre and surrounded by olive groves, is the perfect location for those in pursuit of peace and quiet with options for a more active lifestyle, such as hiking, mountain biking or playing a round of golf.
