Ventimiglia, Imperia, Liguria, Italy

An absolute corner of peace for whoever wants to get away from the rush of modern life.
At 400 m above sea level the view is unbelievable and it spans from Mt Toraggio to the crystal clear waters.
The building follows the ancient structure with stone walls outside and vaulted ceilings inside.
On the ground floor you can find the living room with a pellet stove for the winter chill, a small kitchen and a toilet.
Through the staircase you get to the first floor with another small living area, one bedroom with en suite bathroom, another room and a toilet.
In both rooms two big tv screens to watch your favorite movies in a unique atmosphere.
Life is mainly outside for most part of the year, you can sit in the beautiful veranda on a very comfy couch or host friends and family for lunch and dinners on the big wooden table, there's also a spa bath with Jacuzzi and the hammock to rock you and watch the landscape enjoying the silence.
From here many paths where you can walk for hours take you to the village of Grimaldi.
The property is easily reachable through a country road which becomes a dirt road only at the very end.
The distance to the town of Latte and its shops is 15-20 minutes by car.
An ideal place to enjoy nature at its best.
The property is located in Sealza, a small village in the emerald green hills above Latte, a picturesque corner of the Riviera di Ponente that leans out into the sea between the far west of Liguria and the Côte d'Azur.
It was here that Sir Thomas Hanbury dropped anchor in 1867 and it was love at first sight; it was here that he decided to stop after his countless trips to the Orient and it was here that he fullfilled his dream, a garden where exotic and Mediterranean species could coexist. Today, the Hanbury Botanic Gardens are unique in the whole of Europe both for the variety of botanical species and for the beauty of the tropical and subtropical plants that grow luxuriantly here thanks to the exceptional climate of this area. The botanical importance of this place can also be found in the sea bed of Capo Mortola with one of the most interesting marine habitats in Liguria, where there are freshwater springs including the Polla Rovereto: a unique environment in Liguria, a Regional Marine Protected Area. The transition from Liguria to the Côte d'Azur is accompanied by unique environmental, historical and archaeological elements that underline the rare beauty of this place: the turquoise and blue colour of the sea, the green of the vegetation, Benjamin Bay, the Balzi Rossi with its red-hued rocks and prehistoric caves, the 'egg beach' where famous people, artists and writers meet. A place so peaceful and yet so close to everything: to fashionable Monte Carlo, Nice Cote d'Azur airport, Cannes, Bordighera, Ospedaletti and Sanremo.
