Food scene
Beautiful little town which is the nearest town to the apartment with shops, restaurants and cafes etc. Sometimes Market on the weekend (10 min drive)
Restaurants:
- Maniscalco- lovely grilled meat and fantastic pizza one of our favorites but you need to book for Friday and Saturday nights - dinner only
- La Forchetta great pizza (don’t take the meat not as good as mani above) - dinner only
- Trattoria in the Main Street great pasta and local dishes - lunch only
- Spaghettieria - in the Main Street but pasta only and I would ask for homemade pasta - lunch and dinner I think

Treks and Hikes

Near SP21, 18, 18021 Pieve di Teco IM

- I would suggest driving to the little villages and taking walks from their. For example go to the village of Borgomaro there are some small 1 hour walks and then longer 3 hours walks marked from the village. Circular routes. Great Olive oil and a couple of local places to have lunch.
Borgomaro - lovely village and great Olive Oil

Cycle Routes
On the coast there is a 24km cycle route all the way along the coast. I would drive to Ospedelettti and drive through the long tunnel to San Remo - and have lunch right next to the coast - you can leave the bikes and jump into the sea and cool down. You can cycle through San Remo and keep going for miles. There is a map in the house with the trail on it but I sent you all the links via Whatsapp. but fyi: here is some more info: https://italy-cycling-guide.info/traffic-free-cycleways/cycling-riviera/
