Accessibility
Be aware that there is no access by car up to the front door of the apartments, luggage would have to be carried a short 50m walk from the nearby car park and on street parking. Due to the nature of the terrain and the access by stairs the flats are unfortunately not suitable for the disabled.

Coast/Beach
There is an abundance of nearby beaches mainly pebble or grey sand in the area. The nearest (pebble) beach is 8kms. A particular favourite beach is 'The Calandre' at Ventimiglia, this is a sandy cove reached by a Cliff-side walk that provides stunning views. The fantastic man-made beaches in the beautiful locations of Menton and Monte Carlo are all within a short drive. Monte Carlo for example is approx 20kms.

Travel
The nearest airport to Dolceacqua is Nice International Côte d’Azur, which is only 50kms or 45 minutes away by road. The airport is well served not only by all the major airlines but also by the most important budget airlines such as Easy Jet, Jet 2 and Ryan Air. Car hire is available at the airport and is to be recommended, although not essential.

Distances
There are several must see villages. Principle amongst them is Apricale, a village that seems to cling to the hillside. It was voted one of Italy's most beautiful villages only a few years ago. Rocchetta is also a lovely quaint village, well known for its crystal clear fresh water pools. Otherwise, for the jet set lifestyle, the Côte d’Azur begins at Menton only 15kms away.

Further details
The area has a good selection of restaurants and pizzerias at which to enjoy traditional Italian food and perhaps a glass or two of the famous local 'Dolceacqua Rossese' red wine. Local bakers bake fresh bread daily and many shops sell local grown produce such as extra virgin olive oil, wine, fruit and vegetables. Other important amenities include two banks and a post office. The village holds a market every Thursday and during the summer months, offers many traditional events such as concerts, fireworks, operas and village festivals. Not to be missed is the 21st August fireworks display.
