This is a charming rustic house with a large Mediterranean garden, exotic planting and terraced olive groves. The property overlooks a verdant valley with the Mediterranean Sea on the left side and the foothills leading to the Maritime Alps on the right. Since restorationj the house has functioned as a private family home and has many traditional features which have been carefully preserved and maintained (see photographs). All modern conveniences have been installed and the house is well equipped. There is a substantial front driveway with car parking. Adjacent to the house is a utility room, pizza oven, barbecue and sun/dining terrace with a further (covered) dining terrace beside the kitchen. Internally, ceilings are typically wooden, externally stone walled with Provençal roof tiles.The house lies in the hills above Bordighera and Sanremo on the Italian side and is an half hour from Menton on the French Riviera. San Martino is an adjacent hamlet with Vallebona nearby. Nice airport is 40 minutes drive on the motorway. The access road however is steep in places and somewhat narrow. Bordighera and Sanremo are elegant belle epoch towns with rail stations on the France to Genoa line. All of which provides for a unique experience and an unforgettable holiday. We can only accommodate adult guests this season. We regret that winter/early Spring lettings are not available (November to March).Bookings available April-October. Thanks to all for inquiries.
