The apartment is in an exclusive area to the west of Sanremo’s old town, just a 5 minute drive from the beach. The old town has charming cobbled streets and excellent family-run restaurants. Sanremo is known for the annual Sanremo Music Festival which is held in late February or early March. There is also the Sanremo Car Rally, the Rallye Sanremo, which takes place in October.

The old town’s covered market is a must (every day except Sunday). Here you can buy the best local olive oil, cheeses, wines, vegetables and fruit.

For something more active, the Ponente Ligure cycle path runs for 24km along the coast and makes a great day out for families.

The closest airport is at Nice (France) which is a 1 hour, 5 minute drive. Genoa airport is 1 hour and 45 minutes from the apartment. A damage deposit of 500EUR has to be paid locally for groups under 21.
