Dolceacqua is one of the most beautiful medieval villages in the Italian province of Liguria. It is placed along the river "Nervia" which divides the oldest part of the village (the medieval area with the "Doria Castle") from the more modern part (built in the 19^th and 20^th century). The two parts of the village are connected by a spectacular elegant stone bridge (built in 15^th century). The famous French artist Claude Monet painted the bridge in 1884, which he named ‘A Jewel of Lightness’.

The main square in the heart of the village looks out over the bridge and castle and locates several traditional Italian restaurants & coffee bars, where you can enjoy a glass of wine, the Italian cuisine or a real espresso. There are weekly markets with food, household items and clothing. In the old castle, on top of the village, there are regularly scheduled concerts and exhibitions.

Dolceacqua is situated approximately 8 kilometres from the Mediterranean Sea side in the Italian Riviera where you will find cities such as San Remo, Bordighera and Ventimiglia. In these cities you will find interesting architecture, shops, restaurants and weekly markets as well as beaches and harbours. The Villa is also close to Menton, Monte Carlo and Nice and the French Riviera beach resorts within 30 to 60 minutes.
