Chaque automne, Imperia célèbre l’un des symboles les plus précieux de la Ligurie : l’huile d’olive extra vierge. Du vendredi 7 au dimanche 9 novembre 2025, la ville accueillera une nouvelle édition d’Olioliva, l’événement incontournable consacré à l’or vert de la Riviera dei Fiori. Pendant trois jours, le centre historique d’Imperia Oneglia, la Piazza Dante, la Via Bonfante et le vieux port se transforment en un grand marché à ciel ouvert, où se mêlent les parfums d’olives fraîchement pressées, de focaccias dorées et de vins ligures.
Une immersion dans le goût et dans la tradition
Olioliva est une véritable célébration du terroir ligure. Producteurs, artisans et chefs proposent leurs huiles extra vierges, notamment celle de la célèbre olive Taggiasca, ainsi que de nombreux produits locaux : tapenades, fromages, miels et douceurs artisanales. Autour du marché, les visiteurs peuvent participer à des dégustations guidées, des ateliers culinaires ou des démonstrations sur la fabrication de l’huile. L’ambiance est animée par la musique, les spectacles de rue et les groupes folkloriques qui font vibrer la ville tout au long du week-end.
Buying a home in Italy has long been a dream for many British buyers. But in recent years, Liguria (Italy’s north-western coastal region known as the “Italian Riviera”) has become one of the most sought-after destinations. According to “Il Sole 24 Ore”, in the first half of 2025, the number of UK citizens searching for property in Italy increased by more than 28% compared with the same period in 2024. A significant share of this renewed interest is focused on Liguria, an area that combines the charm of the Riviera lifestyle with authenticity, accessibility, and excellent value for money.
A more authentic and affordable Riviera
For decades, the French Riviera, from Menton to Saint-Tropez, has symbolised Mediterranean glamour. Yet, for many buyers, it has also become overpriced, overdeveloped, and heavily taxed. Just a few miles across the border, West Liguria offers the same stunning sea views, Mediterranean light and lifestyle, at far more reasonable costs.
Property prices in Liguria are often 20% to 30% lower than on the Côte d’Azur, while annual running costs, local taxes, and maintenance expenses are substantially more affordable. In France, property ownership involves higher local taxes, high inheritance duties and significant capital gains tax upon sale. Italy, by contrast, has much lighter inheritance taxation, no wealth tax on property, and more flexible tax regimes for residents and foreign buyers alike.
For British owners planning a long-term investment or a future relocation, Liguria offers not only better value, but also a simpler and less punitive fiscal environment.
A lifestyle that feels truly Italian
Beyond numbers, what really wins hearts is the authentic Italian lifestyle. Liguria’s rhythm is relaxed yet refined. Daily life revolves around open-air markets, morning coffee at the local bar, fresh pasta from family-run shops, and long lunches overlooking the sea. The region’s cuisine, from pesto Genovese to local olive oil and fresh fish, reflects a deep connection with the land and the sea.
While the French Riviera is crowded with international tourists and seasonal residents, Liguria retains its Italian soul. Its seaside towns – Sanremo, Bordighera, Alassio, Ospedaletti, Imperia – are elegant yet lived-in all year round. Here, neighbours still know each other, and foreign homeowners are welcomed into the community rather than merely served by it.
Nestled in the Maritime Alps, Limone Piemonte is one of Italy’s most prestigious ski resorts, often referred to as the “Queen of the Maritime Alps”. Thanks to the new Tenda Tunnel, it is now just 1 hour and 20 minutes from the Italian Riviera, the French Riviera, and Monaco, making it the closest Alpine resort to the Mediterranean.
Limone Piemonte: Alpine charm all year round
Limone is internationally renowned for its Riserva Bianca ski area, offering over 80 km of ski slopes suitable for all levels, from beginners to expert skiers. Beyond skiing, visitors fall in love with the authentic charm of the old village, where cobblestone streets, historic churches, restaurants and boutiques preserve a timeless Alpine atmosphere.
The resort is not just a winter destination. In summer, Limone transforms into a paradise for hikers, mountain bikers and nature lovers. Surrounded by pristine landscapes, it offers endless outdoor activities that make it a true year-round retreat.
Another key advantage of Limone Piemonte is its excellent accessibility. The resort is just 1h40 from Nice International Airport, one of Europe’s best connected hubs, offering direct flights to major global cities. In addition, Cuneo Airport and Turin Airport are both conveniently located nearby, making travel simple for international visitors.
Galaxy Chalet Village – An exclusive new development
In this privileged setting, Galaxy Chalet Village represents a rare opportunity: a brand-new residential development located directly on the slopes, with true ski-in / ski-out access. Properties with such a position are almost impossible to find in Limone Piemonte, which makes this project both an exclusive lifestyle choice and a strong investment.
The village is located in Limone 1400 area, on a private road in a quiet and elevated area. Each chalet enjoys panoramic mountain views and its own private garden.

Furthermore, the Galaxy Chalet Village is part of an already established community, where a recently built chalet with several apartments is successfully operating as vacation rentals managed directly by the developer’s in-house staff. This dedicated team will also be available for the new chalets, providing continuous assistance with property management or any other needs, ensuring complete peace of mind for owners.
The chalets will be ready for the 2026 ski season, delivered fully furnished, with customizable interiors upon request. Each property includes private parking and an electric car charging station.

Située au cœur des Alpes Maritimes, Limone Piemonte est l’une des stations de ski les plus emblématiques d’Italie. Grâce au nouveau Tunnel de Tende, elle n’est qu’à 1h20 de la Riviera italienne, de la Côte d’Azur et de Monaco, ce qui en fait la station alpine la plus proche de la Méditerranée. Depuis longtemps, elle est le refuge hivernal privilégié des résidents de la Côte d’Azur.
Limone Piemonte : charme alpin toute l’année
La station est célèbre pour son domaine skiable Riserva Bianca, avec plus de 80 km de pistes adaptées à tous les niveaux. Le centre historique, avec ses ruelles pavées, ses restaurants typiques et ses petites boutiques, conserve un charme alpin authentique.
En été, Limone devient un paradis pour les amateurs de randonnée, de VTT et d’activités de plein air, offrant une destination idéale pour toutes les saisons.
Un autre atout majeur de Limone Piemonte est son excellente accessibilité. La station se trouve à seulement 1h40 de l’aéroport international de Nice, l’un des hubs les mieux connectés d’Europe, avec des vols directs vers de nombreuses grandes villes. De plus, l’aéroport de Cuneo et celui de Turin se situent également à proximité, facilitant ainsi les déplacements pour les visiteurs internationaux comme pour les résidents italiens.

Dans ce cadre privilégié, le Galaxy Chalet Village est une opportunité rare : un nouveau programme résidentiel directement sur les pistes, avec un véritable accès ski-in / ski-out.

Le Galaxy Chalet Village s’inscrit dans une communauté déjà existante, où un chalet récemment construit avec plusieurs appartements est exploité avec succès en location saisonnière par l’équipe interne du promoteur. Cette équipe dédiée sera également disponible pour les nouveaux chalets, offrant une assistance continue pour la gestion des biens et tous les besoins des propriétaires, garantissant ainsi une tranquillité totale.

Un cadre chargé d’histoire
Le Circuito di Ospedaletti jouit d’un prestige immuable : conçu dans l’après-guerre, il incarnait déjà la grandeur du sport mécanique entre mer et montagne, mêlant virages serrés, panoramas méditerranéens et le glamour des années d’or des Grand Prix. Ce tracé, le mythique « Boulevard di Corso Regina Margherita », servait de ligne de départ et d’arrivée depuis un kilomètre rectiligne emblématique dans le centre d’Ospedaletti.
Le programme 2025 : entre admiration et adrénaline
Voici les moments forts à ne pas manquer :
Samedi 27 septembre Le matin, exposition des voitures le long du Corso Regina Margherita, dans une atmosphère unique. L’après-midi, possible extension à Sanremo avec un défilé dans le centre. En fin de journée, talk-show à l’Auditorium d’Ospedaletti et hommage au Memorial Amilcare Ballestrieri.
Dimanche 28 septembre Le matin, démonstrations sur le tracé urbain de plus de trois kilomètres, entre rugissements de moteurs et décor méditerranéen. L’après-midi, nouvelles manches et grande parade finale de toutes les voitures.

Ces voitures ne sont pas seulement des objets roulants : chacune porte en elle un pan de l’histoire de l’automobile, des innovations techniques, des styles d’avant-guerre, des récits de compétitions passées et des routes parcourues.
Une atmosphère unique
Le lien entre Ospedaletti et cette manifestation est fort : non seulement comme hôte du circuit historique, mais comme gardien d’un héritage culturel. L’événement rappelle que les moteurs et les voitures ne sont pas seulement objets de performance, mais de mémoire locale, de fierté, de récit collectif.
Si vous souhaitez nous faire visite, échanger autour des autos ou simplement partager la passion, nous serons place 4 Novembre, 6 à Ospedaletti : passez nous voir, ce sera un plaisir. Venez vivre cette fête des moteurs et du temps !
The Italian Riviera has once again taken center stage on national television. In the latest report by PresaDiretta (Rai 3), the focus was placed on how the Ligurian coast is increasingly becoming one of the most attractive destinations for international buyers.

The episode, now available on RaiPlay, featured an interview with Matteo Scandolera, Managing Partner of LiguriaHomes Casamare, who shared his perspective on the rising demand from foreign clients and the growing appeal of the Riviera.
More than tax benefits: Why the Italian Riviera stands out
One of the key aspects highlighted in the program is the €200,000 flat tax regime for new residents, which has become an important incentive for high-net-worth individuals relocating to Italy. Yet, the reasons why the Italian Riviera is experiencing such strong demand go far beyond taxation. The region offers a mild climate throughout the year, breathtaking landscapes that combine sea and hills, a unique cultural and gastronomic heritage, and the strategic advantage of being located just minutes from the French Riviera and major European hubs.
For many international buyers, Liguria is no longer just a holiday retreat. It has become a place to establish a permanent residence, to enjoy a Mediterranean lifestyle, and to take advantage of the opportunities the region offers both in terms of quality of life and long-term investment.
Properties for every lifestyle
The Riviera is often associated with exclusive villas overlooking the sea, and these remain highly sought-after. But the real estate opportunities available here are far more diverse. Modern or historic apartments in vibrant coastal towns, as well as charming village houses that preserve the authentic Italian spirit, also attract a wide range of buyers. This variety ensures that Liguria appeals not only to ultra-high-net-worth individuals but also to families, professionals, and retirees who are looking for a second home or a new beginning in Italy.
A trusted voice on national television
Being chosen by Rai 3, Italy’s national broadcaster, to comment on this phenomenon was an honor and a recognition of the professional role that LiguriaHomes Casamare has played for more than 30 years. Our agency has built its reputation as a point of reference for the Riviera thanks to its extensive presence across the territory, with offices in Sanremo, Ospedaletti, Bordighera, Imperia, Santo Stefano al Mare and, soon, a new office in Alassio. Equally important is our multilingual team, able to support clients in English, French, German, Russian, Spanish and more, ensuring that every stage of the buying process is clear and seamless for international clients. This combination of local expertise, international outlook, and decades of experience has positioned LiguriaHomes Casamare as the leading real estate group on the Riviera.
LiguriaHomes Casamare: your partner for buying in the Riviera
In partnership with Hamptons International, we provide tailored advice, multilingual assistance, and a curated selection of properties across the Italian Riviera. Our mission is to help clients from all over the world find not only their ideal property but also a lifestyle that reflects the best of what Italy has to offer.
