Beautiful flat in medieval village with amazing views, free wifi and parking

Think of long lazy summer days, spent in a haze of late breakfasts at the village coffee bar just next door, cappuccino, freshly squeezed orange juice and mouth watering pastries or a lovely piece of fresh focaccia stuffed with ham and cheese to start your day.
Take some home cooked vegetable pie and filled foccaccia to the beach with you or to the local water holes for bathing, within walking distance. Then when you come home take a long cool drink or a glass of wine onto the balcony with you and watch the beautiful surroundings and locals going about their business, meander down to the pizzeria for an alfresco dinner and take in one of the local dances. Collect the kids from the sports field where they have been having fun with the local children in a wonderfully safe atmosphere. The apartment is big enough for two families of 4 to be comfortable if you fancy a holiday with friends or family.

The apartment is south facing and very large, all on one floor on the second floor of a three floor building in the heart of the village but on the road leading to he piazza so great for people watching on the long balcony.
The kitchen is large and well equipped for an easy holiday.
Master bedroom with an en suite WC & wardrobe, one bedroom with double bed & shelves, one bedroom with bunk beds & cupboard, and one bedroom with twin beds & shelves - in total 8 sleeping spaces. There is a big bathroom with bath and shower, wc, bidet and sink.
Large living room with a bed sofa and a chaise-long, TV & TV table with DVD/CD player, opening onto the balcony overlooking the village. Separate dining room with table and 6 chairs with balcony door / entrance to the big terrace and beautiful views of the village for beautiful dinners at home with your family and friends.

All linen and towels are supplied, plus beach towels.

The apartment overlooks a small children's park and the village and is south facing. The apartment was refurbished and redecorated totally at the beginning of this year.
There are deck chairs and two small tables and 4 chairs on the balcony to enjoy the views and a glass of wine after a lazy day in the sun.

About the village Pigna: Pigna is a small friendly village with inhabitants of around 800, hosting more people in the summer with families that have holiday homes. We have a big sports field and new tennis courts, a 5 aside football pitch and a lovely new playground for children only 5 min walk from the apt. We have a really good pizzeria and restaurant where they have live music on the weekends, we have an ice cream parlour and two other restaurants. We have a bank and a post office, a hairdresser, a doctors surgery, a bank, a petrol station in fact anything you may need for a relaxing holiday. You can walk to the mountain streams & water holes to keep cool in the summer or you can go to the beach which is 17 minutes away and enjoy a lovely glass of wine on the balcony at the end of the day, and getting ready for a relaxing evenin out in the village maybe at one of the local dances.
Pigna is a great base for a walking holiday or for sightseeing, we have trekking paths for the amateur and for the seasoned walker, something for everyone. Around Pigna you have many beautiful natural mountain streams to dip into during hot summer days, and astonishing nature with fruits like kiwi and lemons growing on wild trees. Pigna also inhabits many local Italians which means food, coffee and wine is offered to great quality - but also low prices.

Children: The apartment is ideal for children as it is all on one floor, no stairs, so they are safe to run around and play without getting in anyone's way.
There is a small playground within view of the apartment and a really large playing fields and childrens playground so they can run around to their hearts content.
Please check the feedback, those placed by owner have been taken from the guest book in the apartment.

There is also a local bar that opens at 5 until whenever for the younger members of the family, so if you have teenagers that are being almost dragged along on the family holiday, this is where they will have the greatest time.

Perfect apartment for the family
Beautiful apartment in the middle of medieval city Pigna. Pigna peaceful little town, only 20 min away from Ligurian coast. It is also perfect location for mountain hiking and nature exploration.

Ideal spot for cyclists, walkers and nature lovers
The Casa Dolcevita is a spacious, 4 bedroom apartment in the centre of the steep hillside village of Pigna. With all basic amenities, it provides a great base camp for exploring Pigna and the local river valley districts of Imperia. The village of Pigna is - apart from a new parking area - an ‘unpimped’ Ligurian village, with a couple of little bars, alimentari and restaurants that will offer all you need. Not a spot for nightlife, which suited our three generations just fine. The main attractions of Pigna are: * its location on one of the main pro cyclist training routes in region. Professional and good amateur climbers can be seen whizzing through the village, sometimes stopping off at Fabio’s fabulous pasticceria Desire deRoy for a drink. * the nearby natural rock pools where one can jump and slide from rocks into mountain streams (there are no local swimming pools: a large nearby resort spa centre closed some years ago and its listed offerings are no longer available) * the surrounding mountains and valleys provide for a range of reasonably well marked tracks and trails that wind through lovely natural and farm landscapes.

Romslig og sjarmerende leilighet midt i en liten italiensk fjellandsby som har alt du trenger, små lokale dagligvarebutikker, restauranter, pizzeria, gelateria, apotek og pub. Gåavstand til avkjølende badekulper. Trenger du noe mer for å nyte det gode liv i Italia?

Lovely apartment, charming area, attentive owner
My family and I just returned from spending a wonderful Christmas in Pigna. The apartment is large, clean and comfortable. We were surprised to find a beautiful & dramatic natural waterfall next to the bedroom windows coming down from the mountain - apparently its there when its been raining, though we had lovely weather the week we were there. The beds were very cosy! The kitchen has all the basics and we cooked excellent meals with the locally acquired ingredients. The village is lovely & historic and one can walk extensively through it and up to a mountain top; there is an ancient church where we attended Midnight Mass and felt welcome. A car is essential and from Pigna, one can day trip to the French Riviera, or visit nearby towns Sanremo, Ventimiglia, Apricale, Dolceaqua. Neil responded to all our queries promptly and gave us great advice. A great winter getaway - would love to go back in another season! Highly recommended!

Apartment had basics. The building was old and characteristic, note that there's no aircon or fans so during summer gets hot easily. Location was excellent for travellers seeking peaceful and beautiful scenery, nature and history.

Unser Aufenthalt war wunderbar. Die Kommunikation mit Jane und Neil hat gut geklappt. Die Unterlagen in der Wohnung zur Erkundigung der näheren Umgebung waren sehr hilfreich. Einzig das WLAN hat nicht funktioniert. Aber alles in allem ein wunderbarer Urlaub.

Great stay in a great little town
We had a great time. The flat is big enough for bedrooms to be spread so everyone had their own space and intimacy. The common area was big enough for 6 adults and 2 kids. The owners were very responsive and very helpful. We also loved Pina with lovely people and good restaurants. The river IS cold but so pretty. And the beach is only 30-45 min away.

Heerlijk verblijf in Pigna
We hebben genoten in Pigna. Prachtig middeleeuws dorpje waar je echt tot rust kan komen. In 15-20 minuten ben je aan de kust bij Ventemiglia en Monaco ligt op 30 minuten rijden. Het appartement is echt prachtig met oude details. Het is prima koel gezien de dikke muren en zonder airco is het er toch prima uit te houden. Het is schoon en netjes en handdoeken e.d. Zijn beschikbaar. Wij waren er met een gezin van 4, maar met 6 of 8 personen lijkt het ook prima te kunnen. Echt een aanrader als verblijf als je de Italiaanse en Franse bloemenrivièra wilt bezoeken.

Tolle kleine Stadt
Wir waren 14 Tage in Pigna und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet und hat den typisch italienischen Charme. Ärgerlich war, dass die Therme die Coronazeit nicht überstanden hat und somit ein Besuch in der Therme nicht möglich war. Allerdings gibt es im Umfeld so viele schöne Wasserstellen, welche zum abkühlen einladen ;)

Fantastisch!
Wir haben wunderschöne zwei Wochen in der großen, charmanten Altbauwohnung verbracht. Besonders die Abende mit Blick auf das Dörfchen haben wir in vollen Zügen genossen. Ein Urlaub, bei dem man den Alltag eines italienischen Bergdorfes kennen- und lieben lernen kann. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!
