Diano San Pietro holiday house

Description from the manager

Diano San Pietro. The apartment is suitable for 2 - 6 people. It has a view of the sea and is located quietly and idyllically in an olive grove. It has its own parking spot and playground for children. There are many local destinations here, as well as diverse sports and lovely nearby sandy beaches (Diano Marina).

The quiet little village Besta is located near Diano San Pietro. The surrounding area is perfect for families that wish to take advantage of the many local destinations and not just the beach.

This municipality is formed of two towns on the sunny slopes of the San Pietro Valley. Dominating the lower town is the parish ch...urch, one of the most important in the area (the christening font dates from the eleventh century). All that is left of the original late mediaeval building is the bell tower. It is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul and was reconstructed in Baroque style in the second half of the eighteenth century. The parvis is paved with pebbles and it was surrounded by a wall in 1564 as a defence against Saracen invasions. The interior preserves a painting of the martyrdom of San Giovanni Battista attributed to Giovanni Battista Paggi and a fine seventeenth-century marble pulpit.

Diano San Pietro lies, if seen from the sea, upwards and right of Diano Marina. In Diano Marina there is a very good infrastructure with countless restaurants, shops, cafés, bars and discos, as well as tennis courts, bowling, bicycle rentals and many other diverse sporting opportunities. Many excursions can be undertaken from here.

From Diano San Pietro, the road follows the same named river(which powered the many olive mills) to Diano Borganzo, whose hamlets all lie on a steep slope. Here you will find the town church, Natività di Maria, built in the 19th century, where you can see a fine polyptych by Antonio Brea: the Madonna della Consolazione (1518). In the small Roncagli, a small medieval bridge over the San Pietro river leads you down the road to Virgili and Diano Arentino.Read more
