Apartment Details
The apartment itself is comprised of four rooms: one large open plan bedroom/living room, one dining room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. There is also a dedicated laundry room for your sole use (no additional cost) located directly next to the apartment with an entrance off the shared entrance hallway for the building. See below for more detail on each room.

Dining Room: This room is located between the main room and kitchen. There is a dining room table and chairs as well as a wood pellet stove. Beautiful views can be seen out over the valley from this room. The original tile flooring along with the 14 foot high vaulted ceilings were also retained in this room, which feels very welcoming and comfortable.

Bathroom: Located off of the bedroom, the bathroom comprises a large bathtub, walk-in shower as well as sink, toilet, and bidet. This room is larger than typical and also has high vaulted ceilings in keeping with the interior architectural design of the village.

Kitchen: Located just two steps up from the dining room, the furnished kitchen comprises a refrigerator, gas cooker/range, electric kettle, chopping block, shelving and plenty of room. Dishes, utensils and pots and pans are provided. The window allows plenty of light and the 12 foot high vaulted ceilings give this room a light and airy feel.

Laundry Room: The laundry room consists of a washing machine (no dryer.) There are two drying racks in the apartment itself and one finds that things tend to dry quickly when hung.

Changeover Day: Changeover days are flexible so as to accommodate travel schedules though unfortunately, no rental periods of less than one week are available. Arrivals after 4pm and departures before 10am are appreciated though there is some flexibility. Local shops are open on Sundays though each shop is usually closed for one business day during the week.

Towels/ linen/maid service: An ample supply of towels and other linens are supplied. There is no daily maid service though cleaning will be carried out after the end of your stay (see other reference.)

Other: The apartment runs on mains electric and gas for the cooker/range. There is an electric boiler that provides hot water for bathtub, shower and other taps. Both gas and electric is included in the rental price. A wood-pellet stove situated in the dining room provides the heat for the entire flat and there will be a pellet replacement charge per bag used (typically around 7 Euros per bag.) There is neither a telephone line nor TV. A small stereo with CD player is onsite as well as vacuum.

Coast/Beach
The coastal area of Liguria is known as the Italian Riviera. What makes Triora so unique is that one can spend a day at the beach and later retire to the cool elevations where Triora is located. The rise from sea level to Triora is 800 meters (around 2,400 ft) over a distance of only 15 miles. All beaches are sandy with large rocks for sunbathing with other water sports available if desired. While some beaches are privately run, there are plenty of free public beaches. There are many beachside restaurants and bars all along the coast.

Golf
There are two golf courses within easy reach; Circolo Golf degli Ulivi at San Remo about 45 minutes drive and Garlenda Golf Club located between Alassio and Albenga about 90 minutes drive away.

Skiing
There two ski resorts about 90 minutes drive by car; Limone Piemonte which combines three different ski areas and although offering skiing for all levels, it is well regarded by intermediate skiers. Monesi, a smaller resort offering challenging skiing is located just over the mountains behind Verdaggia, though one will have to take the long way around.

Special interest holidays
Triora is well known for its mountain walks in all directions, rare birds, fauna and mushrooms (in September there is an annual Mushroom Festival.) Triora is also famous for its important place in the history of witchcraft, with an excellent museum and other sites throughout the village marking the 15th century witch executions. The village has eight churches and five palaces, most of which are presently being restored, all full of historically interesting paintings and other items. Today, many artists and sculptors have made Triora their home and local artwork is visible throughout the village. There are also many neighbouring villages with histories of their own to explore. Nice and Genoa are the nearest cities and both are well worth a day out with the historic towns of San Remo and Imperia along the way. Monaco, located to the west, is another option well worth a look!

Travel
Nice airport is about a 90 minutes drive from Triora while the Genoa airport is a bit further and will take around two hours drive. There is a regular train service from both Nice and Genoa to Arma di Taggia and a frequent bus service from Arma di Taggia to Triora. However, to explore and get the best from the area it is recommended that one uses a car. Free public on-street parking is available near the entrance to the village.

Distances
The apartment is located directly at the entrance of the village which, because of its medieval narrow streets, is primarily a pedestrian-oriented village. Though, given the location of the apartment, there is room to pull a car directly in front of the building for convenient loading and unloading. The free parking area is within 50 yards from the building.

Further details
There are two bars in Triora and one trattoria providing excellent Italian and local cuisine. There is also an excellent hotel restaurant that hosts many special events throughout the year. In addition, there are several good restaurants within driving distance. Further north up the valley, Verdeggia boasts a pizzeria with live music on the weekends. Heading down the valley, restaurants in Molini di Triora and Badalucco, in particular, offer excellent local fare. Triora also has a grocery store, fruit and vegetable shop, a bakery known for its famous Triora bread, hairdressers, hardware and electrical shop, a gourmet delicatessen and various gift shops. In the next village down the Argentine valley, Molini di Triora, there is a pharmacy, ATM machine, and several other shops. In the surrounding towns and villages you will find daily markets and various festivals throughout the summer.
