About this house rental

Because of it's privileged location Casa Ristretta and Apricale offer you the best of both worlds. The hussle and busstle of the Cote d'Azur, South of France, and the much slower and charming pace of live in a tradional Italian hill village. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in the village or villages nearby or the beach with it's seaside restaurants, only 20 mins away. There is a little grocery store for all your basic needs, and a newsagent. There is free WIFI in the village square and in Apricus Osteria and bar, which are great places to spend time anyway.
Casa Ristretta, has been restored to it's former glory but today's comforts were added. It has a large bathroom with bath and walk in shower and travertine marble tiles.
The bedroom has a kingsize bed, lovely vaulted ceiling and one wall shows the original stone work. The kitchen is well equiped and has table and chairs, although I think, most time would be spend on the covered terrace, with table and chairs, 2 lounge chairs and a Weber BQ.
Please bear in mind that Casa Ristretta is a traditional Apricalese village house, tall and narrow and there are therefore quite a few tall steps in the house, as there are in Apricale itself.
Apricale and it's surroundings is a walkers paradise, the area is totally unspoilt.
There are lots of things to do and explore, with Menton and Monte Carlo as obvious towns, but lots of lovely villages to, Rochetta with it's rockpools, Dolceaqua with it stunning roman bridge once painted by Monet to mention but a few.

Nice is our nearest airport, but Genoa is another option, about a 2 hr. drive away.

What an adventure! Staying in a home like this in an ancient village is a once in a lifetime experience. The house, although old, was very spacious and comfortable with almost everything you need.Negotiating the steps, especially down to the bathroom was an exciting challenge. The roof terrace was a wonderful bonus.Apricale is like stepping back in time. Getting (deliberately) lost in the alleys was a real thrill - especially at night. Visits to Dolceaqua and on to Menton and Eze Village were easy and there was always somewhere to park upon return. Thank you Cora.

A house with a lot of character, tastefully decorated, with a lot of relatively steep stairs. We loved it! Only the august heat was a bit too much for us. But even in the hottest nights, the temperature in the bedroom on the 2nd-lowest of the 4 floors was bearable.

The house is as it has been carved out of the mountains, wonderful to keep you fit! The restaurants A Ciassa and Apricus make the stay even more worthwhile!

Wonderful and unique experience. Wonderful and helpful host.
Wonderful and unique experience. Wonderful and helpful host.
This is the most unusual place that I have stayed in all my trips to Italy. The town is almost all medieval. The flat is very comfortable, renovated in a way that preserved the unique character of local homes. Cora is a very very good host. We had generally a very good experience in Apricale.

Wonderful mountain retreat!
Wonderful mountain retreat!
Cora's little house in Apricale is beautiful with everything you could possibly want for a wonderful stay in this extraordinary mountain village. The quality of the finish is superb and we were very impressed at how beautifully clean the place was. We were met, as planned, by our contact and led up the amazing laberynth of streets and alleyways which make Apricale so special. The service was great and we soon acquainted ourselves with the excellent local restaurants. On the top floor of the house is a lovely terrace which we made very good use of every evening. It is a short drive or bus ride into the nearby towns of Dolcheaqua, Camporosso and sea side towns with great beaches. I would thoroughly recommend this house if you are fit and able bodied. Elderly or infirm folk may find the steps difficult. Many thanks again for a fantastic stay X

Charming Italian village house
Charming Italian village house
A very enjoyable stay in a lovely traditional village house with lots of character. Cosy, clean and tidy with all facilities. The owner is friendly and very helpful with a good knowledge of the area. Apricale is a charming village with superb views and several good walks locally. The Apricus bar/restaurant is welcoming and good value for money. We would certainly recommend this property.
