Great views and scenery!
We enjoyed our 4 day stay in this lovely area surrounded by flowers and trees. Hotel was situated on a cliff with a river running below. It used to be an old mill and is run by the original owner's grandson. Our 5 person apartment was quite large compared to others I've rented in Europe and came furnished with linens, a small kitchenette, washer, small bedroom with tv, and a secluded outdoor seating patio under some wisteria or grape vines. Daily maid service was included in the price though breakfast was separate and consisted of the usual pastries, cheese, meats and eggs (omelets cooked to order). It was just breathtaking. You do need a vehicle to stay here if you intend to go anywhere other than the hotel since there was no town within walking distance. You can also just enjoy the onsite pool and sunshine. We had a great time driving the long, narrow (gasp) winding road up through the mountains towards Sanremo and saw some fantastic old towns perched on clifftops. Also nice was the trip to Dolceaqua and the walk through the castle ruins. I will definitely return there...great time had by all.
