Apricale, Imperia (province)

Old town apartment with vaulted ceilings, balcony and views over surrounding nature in the heart of Apricale
Right in the heart of the picturesque old town of Apricale and just a few steps away from the charming Piazza, this apartment reflects the stylish Ligurian way of life. Situated at the upper end of the historic centre, in an old natural stone house dating back 300 years, the 30m2 ground floor property combines authentic old town charm with carefully selected modern features. 
The entrance opens from one of the romantic meandering mews directly into the entrance hall which seamlessly connects with a functionally designed kitchen and dining area. 
From here, there is access to the roof covered balcony which on warmer days, serves as an extension to the overall living space. From here, beautiful views into the surrounding luscious nature can be enjoyed making this a sheltered place where to sit and relax.
To the left of the kitchen is the bedroom with integrated shower cubicle. To the right of the kitchen lies the living area currently offering two additional places to sleep when needed. During daytime this room serves as living area yet combined with the bedroom, the apartment can accommodate up to 4 people to sleep. 
The renovated toilet with handwash basin is accessed from the balcony as is the traditional custom. Characteristic vaulted ceilings in all rooms give the apartment its unique atmosphere and underline the historic charm of the building. 
During the renovation work carried out in 2024 the bedroom was replastered, new double-glazed widows with insect protection were installed and the modern glass shower cubicle was installed, to list just some of the work. 
This unique old town apartment makes a perfect holiday destination for those with an eye for authentic Ligurian village architecture or can serve as an attractive investment for holiday rentals. A boiler provides warm water, and mobile electric radiators keep the apartment warm during the cooler months of the year.
