Discover Serreta: olive groves, churches and hiking trails

Serreta among olive groves and sea views

Serreta combines scenic impressions with cultural and historical details and clearly defined routes. Diano Serreta lies among centuries-old olive trees. From there, panoramic views extend over the hills and the sea of the Golfo Dianese. This provides an illustrative setting when choosing a holiday apartment in Serreta: you can consider nature, culture and activity as different focal points of the same trip. This combination helps with personal holiday planning without presupposing any features of the accommodation.

Culture and landscapes for your trip planning

The Chiesa Parrocchiale di S. Anna e S.Giacomo in Diano Serreta is protected as an immovable cultural asset under the Italian Legislative Decree D.Lgs. 42/2004. The Chiesa di Sant'Anna was built in the 17th century by the Casalmiglia family as a family chapel. Its Baroque architectural style and central floor plan define the building; the marble altar dates from 1675. Those interested in sacred architecture, local history and specific dates will find several starting points here for planning their own cultural activities.

Diano Serreta can also be incorporated into your trip planning on foot. The Senior n° 7- Imperia-Dianese hiking route leads through olive groves to Diano Serreta and from there along small roads to the northern edge of Diano Gorleri. It is classified as easy, is approximately 7 km long and has 250 m of positive elevation gain. The combination of the classification, approximate length and elevation gain provides a concrete basis when choosing a hiking day according to the level of difficulty you prefer.

Routes with connections to churches

Stage 03 Torrazza-Andora of the Via della Costa places a different spatial emphasis: it continues to Diano Gorleri towards Diano Serreta, passes through the church square of the Chiesa di Sant’Anna and then follows paths to the Chiesa di San Giacomo. When deciding on accommodation in Serreta, you can therefore weigh up whether your trip should be shaped more by churches and festival culture or by the routes described. The two routes provide different planning perspectives: one through the approximate length and positive elevation gain, the other through the route between towns and churches.

Patronal feast on 2 August 2026

On Sunday, 2 August 2026, the Chiesa di Sant'Anna in the Diano Serreta hamlet is scheduled to be the venue for the patronal feast. The celebration includes a Holy Mass followed by a procession with the participation of the Banda Musicale “Città di Diano Marina”. This specific date complements the architectural and scenic impressions with a religious tradition tied to a fixed date. If you plan your trip around this day, you can combine the cultural side of Diano Serreta with an explicitly dated event.
