Apricale
|
|
 |
|
Piazza, ready for St.Valentine's celebrations
|
|
Apricale makes an excellent base to explore both the French and Italian Riviera's. The village is a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone, partly covered streets and steps and it for pedestrians only, except for the 3 wheelers that are used to supply shops and restaurants. The piazza is breathtakingly beautiful, and in summer one can enjoy dinner in one of the excellent restaurants there, or just relax with a drink and take in the amazing surroundings. There are food and gift shops in the centre and the castle on top of the village hosts excellent art exhibitions like Picasso, Miro. Casa delle Damigiane has been completely restored in 2002 and great care has been taken to perserve its "old" charm, with today's comforts.

Special interest holidays
The mountains and coutryside around Apricale are completely
unspoilt and one can go for wonderful walks, in hills or mountains beyond.

Many of the budget airlines fly into either Nice airport, only 1 hr. away, or Genoa, a little further, a 2 1/2 hrs drive.
Ventimiglia train station is a 15 min. drive. There are a few buses a day running from the station to Apricale.
