2 bedrooms apartment, 100 m²

Apricale, Imperia (province)

Charming Ligurian village house with panoramic views and spacious terrace, located in the heart of Apricale, accessible by car
This traditional Ligurian village house is nestled in the historic center of Apricale and stands out with its desirable south-west orientation, which fills the rooms with plenty of light and offers wide-reaching views over the surrounding hills all the way to the mountain village of Perinaldo. The living space of approximately 100 sqm is spread over three levels.
On the ground floor, a spacious entrance area welcomes you, leading to a bedroom and a bathroom. An open staircase continues to the first floor, where a generous hallway provides access to a second bedroom and another bathroom.
The second floor houses the spacious living and dining area with an open fireplace, the kitchen, and a practical storage room. Two French doors open onto the covered terrace of about 11 sqm, offering an ideal retreat with wonderful views.
The house was solidly restored in the early 1990s and is in a well-maintained, authentic condition. Terracotta-colored tiles, insulated wooden windows, and a heating system (city gas) renewed in 2023 provide a good foundation. Some modernization work – particularly a future roof renovation – should be taken into account. These also give the future owner the opportunity to choose materials and energy – efficient features according to their own preferences.
A particularly noteworthy advantage is the extremely practical location at the edge of the car-free village center. Directly next to the house is a public garage that can be conveniently accessed for loading and unloading; it may also be possible to rent a parking space there. This combination of medieval village charm and good accessibility makes the house unusually comfortable for everyday life.
Apricale is considered one of the most romantic medieval hilltop villages in Liguria. Several good restaurants and cafés, a small shop for daily needs, and the picturesque landscape inviting you to hike and cycle all contribute to the authentic atmosphere. The coastal towns of Bordighera and Ventimiglia can be reached in about 25 minutes by car, the elegant flair of the Côte d’Azur is less than an hour away, and Nice International Airport ensures excellent connections.
