  Dolceacqua

At a little over 7 km from the sea, Dolceacqua has one of the most fascinating historical village in the world, a rare example of how tourism and tradition have found their equilibrium.The beauty of Dolceacqua was already known by foreign travellers during the passed century: its castle, surrounded by a ‘cascade’ of houses and the aerial bridge still keep fascinating the tourists.The torrent ‘Nervia’ divides the village in two parts: the oldest part, ‘La Terra’ is to be found below the castle and presents houses in concentric circles as well as covered passage ways and ‘caruggi’.On the other side of the torrent, there is the ‘Borgo’, also of medieval origin, with a curious monument called ‘Monumento alla capra’. Like in a fairy tale, mysterious and bewitched, narrow alleys go up and down and cross, like in a maze, dark passages. Therefore, visitors of the Western Riviera are definitely obliged to visit Dolceacqua..The ‘Ponte Vecchio’ (the Old Bridge) is one of the most elegant architectural elements of this place, described by Claude Monet as a jewel , and connects the two parts ‘Terra’ and ‘Borgo’.The economy is essentially agricultural: grapes are transformed into a good ‘Rossese’, a ‘D.O.C.’ wine and after the high season, one can see in the village, like in the past, the cleaning of the olives after which a high quality olive oil is produced.Here, man and his feelings remain the protagonists of an authentic and hard-working world, still distant from today’s anxieties and frenzies. And this perhaps is the secret of Dolceacqua, its unforgettable fascination and its sincere hospitality.
