2 bedrooms self-contained apartment, 96 m²

Dolceacqua, Imperia (province)

This charming village house is located right next to the “Castello dei Doria” in the historic centre of the medieval village Dolceacqua. The overall 134 m2 living and usage area are split over four floor levels. Two spacious roof terraces measuring 66 m2   in total are rising above Dolceacqua’s roof tops giving stunning panoramic views across the valley and down to the sea. The close proximity to the castle lends this property a unique and special ambience.
From the entrance hall on the ground floor a few steps lead down to a spacious 18 m2 cellar room with vaulted ceiling and potential to be converted into a work-shop or taverna. The room benefits from direct access to the mews. Following on the first floor are a comfortable bedroom with adjacent bathroom and spacious storage room perfectly suited as a walk-in wardrobe. One floor level up is a cosy living room with open fireplace and a bathroom which has been completely renovated in 2017 as well as one further bedroom. This room opens out on the 35 m2 garden – a rare gem in the heart of the village. On the third floor is a bright and spacious eat-in kitchen also fitted with an open fireplace. Adjacent to this kitchen lies the first of the two sunny roof terraces. This terrace invites to enjoy dinner al fresco, prepared in the summer kitchen with BBQ whilst enjoying romantic sunsets. An approx. 20 m2 utility room is also part of this terrace and offers convenient storage space for garden furniture. An exterior staircase leads to the sun terrace above with stunning panoramic views.
The house is in well looked after condition and ready to move into. The entire electricity was updated in 2016; in 2017 the exterior was renovated and  all shutters replaced. A modern gas central heating system installed in 2021 keeps the house comfortably warm during the cooler months of the year.
Dolceacqua offers an excellent infra structure with a selection of restaurants, shops, banks, a primary and secondary school, a post office and medical services. Dolceacqua is surrounded by rolling lusciously green hills and terraced vineyards and the perfect starting point from where to explore the peaceful and beautiful surroundings on foot or on bike. The coastal resorts Bordighera and Ventimiglia are only a 15 minute drive down the road; Sanremo and Monaco are 35 resp. 45 minutes away.
