Holiday apartment in Tavole: discover sacred art and high-altitude destinations

Tavole combines sacred art, hamlets and high-altitude locations into a destination offering various ways to explore. For you, choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home in Tavole may depend on whether you would like to combine architecture and oratories one day, and high-altitude locations and views the next. The specific destinations range from churches and small sacred buildings to a plateau and a pass, allowing culture and landscape to be considered side by side when planning a trip.

Sacred art with its own character

The Church of Santissima Annunziata in Tavole houses a polyptych created in 1575 by Agostino Casanova, depicting the Madonna del Soccorso. The parish church of Tavole is a Baroque work attributed to the architect Giacomo Filippo Marvaldi (1673–1743). Both churches give a stay a clear cultural perspective: they bring together different periods and forms of sacred architecture and art without requiring a purely urban destination.

Hamlets and oratories around Tavole

At the entrance to Tavole lies the hamlet of Villa, also known as Villa Oreggi, with an oratory dedicated to Saint Carlo Borromeo. The higher-altitude hamlet of Novelli in Tavole is home to the Oratorio di San Rocco. The Oratorio di San Benedetto Revelli is also located in a higher-altitude hamlet of Tavole, namely Revelli.

Sanctuaries between hills, plateau and pass

The Santa Marta Sanctuary stands on the hills of Tavole at an altitude of 700 metres. The Madonna del Piano Sanctuary stands on the plateau from which it takes its name. The characteristic Pistuna Chapel stands at Passo di Tavole.

Views of the coast and an accessible mountain destination

From the Madonna del Piano Sanctuary, there are views of the coast of Imperia and the promontory of Porto Maurizio. Monte Moro can be reached from Passo Tavole. The coastal view from Madonna del Piano and accessible Monte Moro can be planned as different focuses of a day during your stay.

Woodworking tradition and regional memory

According to local tradition, the name Tavole is connected with the rich wood production of the upper Val Prino. Its wood reached the shipyards of Porto Maurizio via the watercourse of the same name. This tradition offers another perspective on the area: it is not only churches and sanctuaries that shape the stories associated with the place, but also work, materials and the connection to the shipyards on the coast. The Historical Institute for the Resistance Museum is also located in the area around Tavole.
