Diano Arentino is a small municipality in the Ligurian hinterland of the Province of Imperia. If for your holiday you want to combine landscape, local history, and the wider surroundings of the Pizzo d'Evigno, you can find a holiday apartment, a holiday home, or a hotel in Diano Arentino here and then compare the suitable accommodation location.

Key facts on the topic

Diano Arentino is located about 7 kilometers north of Imperia and at an altitude of around 331 meters. The municipality belongs to the hinterland and is therefore part of a different regional context than the coastal towns. For choosing a location, it is therefore crucial whether landscape and history or beach and seafront promenade form the focus of your trip.

In the hiking surroundings of Diano Arentino there are olive groves, wooded sections, old mule tracks, and historic stone huts. In the wider area, the Pizzo d'Evigno is a striking landscape reference and is associated with views over the Gulf of Diano and toward Imperia. Anyone wishing to include such landscapes in the trip can consider Diano Arentino as an inland-oriented base. The exact location of the accommodation remains a separate selection criterion.

Local history and regional references

The history of Diano Arentino as a historical classification goes back to the Middle Ages; the place was part of the historical Communitas Diani. In the main village stands the parish church of Santa Margherita. The districts of Diano Borrello and Evigno also contribute historical religious references to the local landscape.

Another regional or municipality-related reference is olive oil production. This creates a local profile that is understood not only through the coast, but also through the Ligurian hinterland and its cultural landscape.

Diano Arentino or a coastal base?

Diano Arentino, as a hillside location in the hinterland, is contrasted with the coastal references of Diano Marina, San Bartolomeo al Mare, and Cervo. In the regional context, Diano Marina stands for coast, beach, and seafront promenade. If frequent beach days are the main focus, a comparison with a more coastal accommodation is therefore worthwhile. If landscape, history, and the hiking surroundings are weighted more heavily, the inland-oriented location speaks more in favor of Diano Arentino.

When searching, you can choose between a holiday apartment, a holiday home, and a hotel. Compare the specific location of the offers with the focus of your trip instead of transferring regional characteristics to every individual accommodation.
