Agriturismo Il Poggio Di Maro'

A lovely friendly couple full of smiles and very welcoming. We stayed in the b&b, the room was perfect, well looked after, clean, comfortable, excellent shower. Nice views of the valley. The food is very ´home made/ local’. Fun to try. 8 dishes, stuffed. Great weekend away.

During the last 20 years we have noticed a sad decline in many of the traditional agriturismi in the hills behind Imperia which offer set menu meals. The prices have crept up and the range and quality of food have slipped. Consequently today's lunch at Poggio di Maro' was a really delightful experience. We had met Barbara a few weeks earlier at a local market and bought some of their saffron. Chatting, we learnt about their agriturismo and so decided to try it out. True the drive up the final half kilometre is rather steep, but nothing unusual for the area. Arriving, the house is beautifully laid out, especially in today's winter sunshine. Daniele welcomed us on the terrace with an aperitivo and we could enjoy the stupendous views. Inside, the small dining room is just as attractive. As for the food, Barbara's cooking is a delight. The antipasti began with a pumpkin flan and anchovy sauce and the courses kept on coming. Also we had some dishes which we do not normally meet in agritourismo the pork and agrodolce onions, the saffron flavoured panacotta. Daniele served and both were so friendly it was as if we were family guests. At €35 per head, including wine, we were more than satisfied. Thank you to both of you for a lovely lunch!

The four of us stayed at Il Poggio di Maro and ate there every nigh as the food was so good. The food was fresh, often from the owners own property, Ligurian recipes often with a modern twist, one of our party was gluten free and Barbara cooked for us with this in mind all delicious.

Farmhouse in an amazing location. The view of the surrounding hills is worth visiting. The menu is great. Quality products prepared and presented with care. To everything you add the attention and kindness of Daniele and his wife who care carefully from the arrival. Absolutely not the delicious bitters offered at the end of the meal. Congratulations guys we'll come back to see you!

Passing for a walk around the Ligurian hinterland we stopped by chance, in this structure. Friendly and friendly owners, simple but high-level food, very nice and quiet location. The lunch was great and plentiful and everything that was served very well cooked and satisfying. The only flaw, looking for fur in the egg, and why not give the maximum score, was that the dishes were a little too salty. I understand that many like to eat tasty, but finding a way that welcomes everyone in my opinion is obligatory. In any case, if you are going to spend the rest in this farm (which also offers the possibility of staying overnight) is mandatory.
