Dolceacqua – Old Town Apartment with Terraces for Sale

Situated in the heart of the picturesque old town of Dolceacqua, this charming village apartment was carefully restored in 2017 and features two spacious terraces. A particularly practical advantage is the possibility of driving directly to the property for loading and unloading – a convenience that is by no means standard in a historic old town.

The property occupies the third and fourth floors of a characteristic old town building and offers approximately 57 m² of living space.

The apartment is accessed via the main terrace of approximately 13 m². Immediately to the left is a spacious and practical laundry room. Exceptionally generous for a property in the historic centre, the terrace offers plenty of space for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining.

From here, the main entrance leads directly into the spacious open-plan living area, which features an impressive high vaulted ceiling and historic arches. Large, double-glazed wooden windows provide an abundance of natural light. The living, dining and kitchen areas flow seamlessly into one another. The modern kitchen with its central island blends harmoniously into the space and creates an open and sociable focal point. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character to the living area and is equipped with an additional warm-air vent serving the upper floor.

An internal staircase leads to the converted attic floor. Here you will find the bathroom with bathtub as well as the spacious bedroom beneath the exposed roof structure, with its visible timber beams adding to the property’s distinctive character.

The bedroom opens onto the second terrace of approximately 5,60 m². More private in character, it offers charming views across the rooftops of the old town towards the Castello dei Doria.

The apartment is equipped with modern gas heating, while the upper floor also benefits from air conditioning. In addition, there is the possibility of taking over the rental of a garage parking space in the immediate vicinity – a rare and practical advantage for a property in the historic centre.

Dolceacqua is one of Liguria’s most beautiful and vibrant villages. Its medieval atmosphere is complemented by excellent local amenities, including restaurants, small shops, banks, primary and secondary schools, a post office and medical services, making it an attractive place to live throughout the year. The surrounding countryside is characterised by vineyards, olive groves and numerous hiking trails.

The coastal towns of Bordighera and Ventimiglia, as well as the French border, can be reached in approximately 15 minutes by car. Sanremo is around 35 minutes away and Monaco approximately 45 minutes. Nice International Airport can be reached comfortably in about one hour.

With its two terraces, open-plan living concept and successful combination of historic old town character and modern comfort, this apartment is equally well suited as a permanent residence or as a holiday home on the Ligurian Riviera.
