San Remo is a delightful town on the Imperia Coastline in Liguria, or the ‘Italian Riviera of Flowers’ as it is colloquially known. Still largely unknown on the mass tourist map, which is a status the town is keen to keep, San Remo rental apartments are a fantastically charming spot in which to escape to, especially during the summer months as the town turns into a chic, seaside resort attracting the most discerning of international tourists. San Remo is best known for its fantastic casino, but there are plenty of evening entertainments to be enjoyed within the town too.
