The Story of Relais del Maro
Once upon a time, a family with ancient Ligurian roots lived in a small village in the hinterland of Imperia/Borgomaro, Italy. The members of the family worked as shoemakers, innkeepers or butchers and were well known in the village.
“Once upon a time... fairy tales often begin this way, words which go so well with this little town of Borgomaro.” Elena Scalambrin
