Romantic, one thousand+ year old house in the center of the medival hilltop village of Apricale in the Italian province of Liguria.  Nestled between Tuscany and Provence.  Recently voted one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. It is a loctaed on the border between Italy and France. It is 10 minutes to the beaches, 15 minutes to Sanremo, 1/2 hour to Monte Carlo and 1 hour to the Nice airport.  This tiny village contains 8 world class restaurants.  The location is perfect for whatever your interests are.  The house is about 1,000 years old and is located close to the village square and the renovated castle where something is always happening.
The streets of the town are cobblestoned and are not accessable by car.  Parking is done outside of the village and other than the occasional three wheeled API, which can transport luggage, the only way to get around is by foot.
This is a romantic destination where you can stop and enjoy the scenary ( the Maritime Alps); dine at the restaurants; view the entertainments provided; climb or bike the mountains; explore ancient Roman structures; swim in the ocean or rock pools; enjoy the bathes in nearby Pigna and experience life in Italy and France.

The House

The three bedroom house is beautifully renovated and furnished in antiquess.  It has a modern kitchen and bath with all the modern conveniences.  The living area and maaster bedroom retain the authenticity of its age. with ancient stone walls and a tiled floor.  The roof top patio has spectacular views of the Maritime Alps.  A perfect place to enjoy breakfast in the AM or a glass of wine and dinner under the stars.

In order to fully enjoy the village and the surrounding area, we require a two week minimum stay.

There is a young man and his sister in the village, who speak several languages, including English who will escort you to the house, will help you with your bags and generally give you information and directions
