There is a Baby Grand Piano in the living room that belonged to my mum, a musician, and that you are more than welcome to play.

L’appartement n’est pas grand, mais bien conçu et suffisant pour deux personnes. Le balcon, un peu exigu, offre une vue plongeant sur la vallée de la Roya. La fenêtre peut servir de passe plat. La ventilation est facile en ouvrant la porte d’entrée. Le village, très typique, est construit sur une pente abrupte. Il est inaccessible aux voitures. Les musiciens seront heureux de la présence d’un piano demi queue accordé. Séjour agréable et dépaysant.

Luc et sa femme ont été des guests parfaits. Ils ont profité du cadre et des possibilités de balades mais ils ont aussi pris soin de l'appartement. Merci
About the host
Hosted by Elisabetta Pannelli Tapsell
Hello, my name's Elisabetta, I'm Italian from my father's side and American from my mother's. After living in in different parts of the world, I settled down in Saorge, a beautiful mountain village in South-East France where in 2008 I met my husband Simon, a Londoner.
Our primary residence is now a stone house further up in the mountains, surrounded by 2 hectares of land at about a 20-minute walk from the village.
We love Saorge, the people who live there, the nature and we truly hope you too will enjoy the village and the apartment.
Why they chose this property
The apartment was bought in the year 2000. As soon as I walked in and I saw the balcony and the view, I fell in love with it; it is located in the heart of the village but it overlooks the valley and the river Roya.
What makes this property unique
The village is considered to be one of the most interesting and attractive in this area (see the Saorge web site) and has good road and rail connections with the coast (Ventimiglia and the Cote d'Azur) and Italy (Cuneo etc.).
Saorge has a pizzeria, a restaurant, 2 general shops, a bar tabac, a post office and a paper shop. It also has several boutiques. There are many lovely walks to be taken directly from the village and in the summer months there are concerts, both classical and rock at the monastery. The main fete is in August and runs for 4 days.
