Anyone looking for accommodation in Bordighera first chooses between two different parts of the town: the historic old town on Capo Sant’Ampelio and the newer urban area between the cape and neighboring Vallecrosia. This makes it possible to tailor the search for a holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel directly to your own travel interests.

Bordighera between the old town and the coast

Bordighera is a coastal town in Liguria and belongs to the Province of Imperia. The old town lies on Capo Sant’Ampelio. Medieval gates, remnants of walls, narrow carruggi and historic palazzi give this area a clearly recognizable appearance. Both parts of the town are connected by the mid-level Strada Romana.

If historic alleys and medieval town remnants are to be the focus, you can search specifically in the old town area. For the newer part of town, direct your search for accommodation to the section between the cape and Vallecrosia. A particular location is not automatically better: what matters is which part of Bordighera is meant to shape your trip.

Culture, gardens and the Lungomare Argentina

Bordighera combines a coastal landscape with local cultural attractions. The Museo Bicknell, founded in 1888, is a specific cultural destination. As a museum, Villa Regina Margherita commemorates the stay of Queen Margherita of Savoy. In addition, the Lungomare Argentina runs as an approximately two-kilometer-long path along the sea with gardens and plants on the town side.

This makes Bordighera especially suitable for a trip that combines historic townscapes, museums and walks by the sea. When searching, you can use the desired area of the town and proximity to such experiences as your first guide. Then compare the holiday apartment, holiday home and hotel based on the specific offer.

Choose accommodation in Bordighera specifically

The spatial division into two parts is the most important location comparison for a stay: the historic surroundings on Capo Sant’Ampelio or the newer urban area between the cape and Vallecrosia. At the same time, Bordighera can be classified as an independent base for accommodation for culture, gardens and the coastal path. For a broader orientation within the province, you will find the overarching regional context on the Imperia page.
