Dolceacqua has been enchanting its visitors for decades and managed to enchant no less a person than Claude Monet, who made it famous with his paintings.
Visit the old part of the village among the characteristic 'carugi' (narrow streets) to discover shops, artists, wine cellars, the Enoteca Regionale with the famous Rossese di Dolceacqua PDO wine, up to the Doria Castle. We also recommend the panoramic walks along ancient mule tracks on the hills above the village, along which there are shrines and ancient churches.
There is a free app that you can download at this link, with an interactive multimedia guide that, thanks to your phone's GPS, will guide you along your visit, suggesting the best routes and providing lots of information and trivia.
A few kilometres away, there is another beautiful village: Apricale.
Our advice is to visit both villages on the same day, perhaps at the end of a morning at the beautiful Balzi Rossi beach in nearby Ventimiglia.
