Quietly situated between the Ligurian hills and the sea, this stay is a charming cottage for 4. Surrounded by unspoiled nature, this is the perfect summer base for an active holiday.
The house gets its name from the artistic flair with which it has been decorated, and it does not disappoint. The spacious, light-filled living room is furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs with a combination of contemporary and antique pieces. French windows lead out to the private terrace garden. On the other side of the room, a large archway leads into the stunning kitchen. The sunny kitchen has an antique cupboard on one side, an attractive wooden dining table in the centre and then the utilities, which include a cooker hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and coffee machine (Mokka).
The garden and terrace have been created with as much care and style as the interiors. There are two seating areas. One terrace, leading off the living room, has a table and chairs for meals al fresco. There is also a separate area with a sofa and armchairs for relaxing in the tranquil countryside.

Location
Up in the hills, this cottage is surrounded by beautiful hills and unspoiled countryside. Although it is in a rural setting, there are grocery shops only 15 minutes away. The town of Andora is just 20 minutes by car. Here, there are plenty of shops as well as a lovely beach. Andora’s weekly market is on Mondays and offers the chance to try and buy the best local ingredients to cook at home.
The house is ideal for people who are keen to go hiking, mountain biking and motorbiking in the stunning Ligurian hills.
The town of Alassio (30 minutes) has a lot to offer. The Budello is a charming pedestrian street, full of interesting shops and cafés for you to explore. The town is known for its Art Nouveau architecture and the Muretto di Alassio, which is tiled with the signatures of many famous visitors, including Ernest Hemingway and Jean Cocteau.
The closest airports are Genoa airport, a 1-hour and 30-minute drive, or Nice airport in France, which is 1 hour and 35 minutes from the apartment.
