The location among the alleys of Apricale, a village known for its stone historic centre and panoramic views, is particularly appreciated by couples, who rated it 9.6.

Apricus Locanda Boutique Hotel is located in the historic centre of Apricale, a medieval stone village in the Imperia hinterland, perched among alleys, arcades and small squares just steps from the ancient Lantosca castle. The setting is typical of the inland Ligurian villages: quiet, green, with views over the valleys descending toward the sea.
The inn is about 26 km from the coast of Ventimiglia and San Siro Co-Cathedral, while the nearest railway station is Bevera, about 8 km away. For those arriving by air, Monaco heliport is 25 km away, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 41 km away, and Riviera Airport is just over the same distance. In the village, just steps from the property, there are several restaurants such as Ristorante da Baci and A Ciassa, about 150 metres away.
The area is especially suited to those who love walking and cycling: the Prato di San Romolo, an adventure park among the woods, is about 5 km away, as is Passo del Cane, a scenic mountain pass with views of the Maritime Alps. In summer, the property’s pool and hinterland excursions are the most popular activities, while in the cooler months Apricale can be comfortably explored on foot among its narrow lanes, art galleries and small local museums, with nearby Dolceacqua and its medieval bridge as a further destination for a half-day trip.
Reviews praise above all the staff’s hospitality, rated with the highest score, and the cleanliness of the property.
