About this property
Beautifully restored romantic apartment in the centre of historic Dolcedo
A renovated apartment with original features in a historic palazzo. With many original architectural features such as vaulted ceilings but with modern amenities including a brand new kitchen and bathroom. The apartment is perfect for a couple or a family with one child, or even three adults. There is a courtyard outside the door which could have a table and chairs. There is a large free car park less than 50 metres away which always has spaces. Perfectly situated for great walks and there is an excellent choice of restaurants, bars and pizzerias close by. The sea is a 10 minute drive. Ideal for cyclists with Europe's longest coastal cycle path a short distance away. Hikers will love the mountain walks with spectacular views.

About the host
Hosted by Ralph Kessler
Hi, I'm Ralph Kessler and I have lived in Italy for 15 years and work as a teacher. I speak Italian and German but my German could be better! My partner Gill speaks French & Spanish so we can help you with most language difficulties. I have managed my friends rental apartment for many years and so I'm experienced in helping guests to have an enjoyable stress free time. Customer satisfaction is very important to me and I'll work hard to make sure everything goes well for you during your stay in Dolcedo.
Why they chose this property
This property is part of an old 'palazzo' and has so many original features. The original vaulted ceilings are really impressive and cool the apartment naturally in the summer. The walls are very thick stone and so it feels private, no noisy neighbours and no thin walls. Inside it is peaceful and airy but just a few steps away is the popular little town of Dolcedo. The apartment is old but everything inside is new and really clean and nice. We have just finished a complete renovation and I'm very proud of the results. The town is authentic Italy and there is no 'tourist trap' here. Prices are good with coffee costing 1 euro and cappuccino less than €1.50. You can eat and drink well here, al fresco of course, and at reasonable prices. A few kilometres away is the provincial capital Imperia with every amenity including Michelin starred restaurants if you want something very special. I chose this property for its charm, character and romance. I look forward to welcoming guests who would like to share the dream.
What makes this property unique
Wonderful apartment, historic and atmospheric but also modern and super clean!
Great countryside, easy access to the sea, many well priced and good quality restaurants and pizzerias.
A quick story: Years ago I visited the 'Cinque Terre' with my brother. It is a very beautiful place but I was disappointed because we had to pay to walk through the olive groves and over crowded mountain walkways with thousands of tourists. I thought 'back in Dolcedo I get this for free with a lot less overcrowding.'
Dolcedo is a special place and our charming apartment is at its heart!
