Description
In the heart of Dolceacqua, one of the most picturesque medieval villages of Liguria, set in a particularly sunny and panoramic position, this exceptional townhouse for sale in Dolceacqua enjoys open views towards Doria Castle and the valley beyond. Unlike many properties in historic Italian villages, it also benefits from convenient pedestrian access and a nearby parking area, making everyday living considerably easier.
Located in the hills of Western Liguria, just inland from Ventimiglia and Bordighera and within easy reach of the French Riviera and Monaco, Dolceacqua is renowned for its medieval streets, its impressive Doria Castle and its iconic stone bridge, famously painted by Claude Monet in 1884. Today, the village retains its authentic Italian character, with charming restaurants, traditional shops, art galleries and a lively local community. Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards producing the celebrated Rossese di Dolceacqua wine, it offers an appealing combination of history, culture and Mediterranean lifestyle.
The property is arranged over four levels, connected by an attractive internal slate staircase, and has been carefully restored to preserve its original architectural features while introducing contemporary comforts.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a study and a spacious cellar which can also be used as a traditional taverna, ideal for informal gatherings or additional recreational space. On the first floor, a generous living room features a fireplace and beautiful vaulted ceilings, while the adjoining eat-in kitchen has been traditionally designed with built-in cabinetry, a pantry and a real wood-fired oven. Its south-facing position ensures plenty of natural light and lovely open views.
The second floor accommodates a spacious principal bedroom, a second bedroom, a hallway and a modern bathroom with a window and shower.
The top floor is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this remarkable home. Here, a second living room combines exposed wooden beams, natural stone walls and a fireplace with expansive windows framing beautiful views across the Nervia Valley towards Doria Castle. The result is an inviting and atmospheric living space where historic character meets contemporary design. This level also includes a third bedroom with an en-suite bathroom featuring a Jacuzzi bath, providing a peaceful private retreat.
Completing the property is a sunny terrace of 28 sq.m. on the ground floor, a particularly desirable feature in a medieval village setting, offering an inviting outdoor space for dining, relaxing and enjoying the mild Mediterranean climate.
This beautifully restored historic townhouse for sale in Dolceacqua offers an attractive opportunity to experience authentic Italian village life in one of Liguria’s most distinctive historic settings. With its generous accommodation, panoramic castle views, private outdoor space and proximity to the beaches of the Italian Riviera and the French border, the property is ideally suited as either a permanent residence or a characterful holiday home in Italy.
