Owner profile
Arturo and Jeanette
About the owner
During a visit to my sister and her husband who lives in Apricale for almost 20 years I had a romantic encounter in the main square in Apricale. That was the beginning of our adventure in Apricale. Arturo lives here for almost 17 years and I for 8 years. Me (Jeanette) a Dutch manager and Arturo an Albanian builder have put together all our skills and opened a Bed & Breakfast, Apricus locanda (IT259). Arturo has built it and I am running it. The success of Apricus made that we wanted to create something more private and luxurious. And there are our luxury townhouses (IT 3376 and IT 4283). Hope you will enjoy them. And there is more to come.
Hope we may welcome you in our beloved Apricale. Jeanette
Year purchased: 2008
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We live in Apricale on the same side as the townhouse. Also our B&B has the same view. The house is light (facing South) and has a stunning almost 360° view. We love the village. It is still very authentic but at the same time the glamorous places as Sanremo and Monaco are so nearby. So we can enjoy the best of both worlds. The sea to have a swim, the river to refresh yourself and the mountains to walk and to ski, it is all there!!
Unique benefits of the property
We created this house specially for our guests. We do have a lot of repeat clients in our B&B who want to stay longer and be able to cook Italian meals with fresh ingredients etc. Because the house is located near a closed parking place, it is easy accessible. As you know Apricale is for pedestrians only that makes it very nice and quiet, but on a hot summers day it is also comfortable when you can get close to your house with your car.
The roof terrace is of course the cherry on the cake. In daytime to sunbathe and at night to watch the stars.
