Bordighera was beloved by the English who came for the fabulous climate with temperatures a few degrees warmer in both summer and winter over other Italian Riviera cities—with little rain in the summer. The Ligurian town is famous for its flowers, palm trees, and formal gardens, as well as olive oil as you might expect from the charts.
Bordighera is found on the western shores of Imperia province of Liguria, a very interesting province for destinations by the sea as well as the rock villages inland. It is a mere 12 miles from France; you can see it with the naked eye from the shore.
