About this property

A beautiful house, a private pool and a view to dream of

When the automatic gate opens, you’ll find Dolceacqua to your right, and at your feet and in front of you, 2 hectares of olive groves and a beautifully renovated house. Numerous terraces give you the opportunity to sit in the shade or in the sun. You can swim anytime, as the pool is heated and features beautiful lighting. Cooking enthusiasts will enjoy the well-equipped kitchen, or you can, of course, make a pizza in the wood-fired outdoor oven. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable; with two bathrooms and an outdoor shower, you can always freshen up. Inside, the space is cosily furnished, and you can read, play games, or relax on the couch watching TV. Outside, there are plenty of lounge chairs and seating areas where you can sit and completely unwind.

A week with the best view in Italy

When you book a vacation, you are always exited to see if the vacation home is as pictured and described. It’s safe to say that we were all surprised to arrive at the retreat in the mountains. The Villa, Pool, property and surroundings in general was nothing short of spectacular - what a place and what a view. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the house, pool and outdoors IG. We can only recommend the property and the owners. Communication and planning worked out very well. Had a great time - thanks!

Italienisches Flair

Wir haben 3 sehr schöne Wochen in 400m Höhe umgeben von Olivenhaine in Dolceaqua verbracht. Das Haus war sehr sauber und sehr komfortabel und wir haben die Sonne, die Stille und die saubere Natur genossen. Die Hausbesitzer Nico und Margreet waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gerne noch mal!

It was great to have Kate and her family staying at our house. They were responsive and very pleasant to deal with. We would love to welcome them again in Villa Torba!
