Bordighera is one of my favorite Mediterranean spots to relax in Italy: Calm, beautiful, yet close to
everything. Once a winter residence of Queen of Savoy, it harbors samples of
rich architecture. Long ago, many illustrious personalities built villas here
and today these lovely villas line the streets (as hotels, private homes, and
shops). There are two sections of town: the new and the old. The grand stradas with cafes, villas, and hotels are an enjoyable
stroll and gander…..and here is an interesting fact: The Vatican gets their
woven palms (called palmureli) for Palm Sunday from
Bordighera! They have been providing this service
for over 100 years.
