This was the highlight of our Ligurian stay so far. I would strongly advise going on a Sunday if you can. We made the end of the service at the Cathedral around 10.30 then wandered the old town which was incredibly beautiful and peaceful...and absolutely empty of life. Stopped in at the monastery with the nuns reading scriptures...quite surreal...the loggia a great spot..but just wander and enjoy!

Acquired by the Province of Imperia in 2002, the villa has been open for the first time to the public on January 17, 2010. The complete recovery of the noble plans, in full respect of their original features, it again revealed the splendor and sophisticated opulence. Called "stone" Circus for the many references to the circus world that can be identified in many architectural details (lamps, columns, decorations, balustrades, uneven, frescoes ...), influenced by Art Nouveau, but undeniably also plagued by the taste of artists contemporary Grock. The complete recovery of the garden, both from the point of view of the flora and for the consolidation of facilities, allows today to rediscover the atmosphere designed by the same Adrien Wettach, of which tells a great passion for plants.
We walked up a lot of steep paths and stairs to get there but well worth it! Lovely quirky building well restored, with grounds needing more work. Had to wait to get in so got discount on tickets, interesting building with film about Grock which was fascinating. Interactive clown museum that the kids visiting were enjoying as much as we did.
