Property Description

Casa dei Limoni is a large detached house on the edge of the village in its own 1000 m² garden with views to the sea three and a half km away.
The house is nothing like a typical holiday apartment - poorly equipped and anonymously furnished.
It is our personal home, found after a long search and lovingly restored.

Casa dei Limoni was completely renovated in 2009. With four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large kitchen, living-room, dining area, loggia, beautiful garden, terrace and ample car parking, our house offers the highest standards of comfort and beauty - for an unforgettable holiday.

Casa dei Limoni in fact consists of two buildings: the main house and the guest house which is 15 m away on the other side of the terrace.

Small groups (up to five people) can rent the main house on its own. In this case the guest house will not be let to another group.

Both houses and the outside area are arranged in an Italian style and tiled throughout. There is underfloor heating (solar panels and gas) and a wood-burning fireplace (wood can be bought locally).

Local Area Information

Cantalupo is in the famous olive-growing area of Liguria and the beautiful olive groves stretch through the hills Beyond these lie the Maritime Alps. The area is ideal not only for swimming on the Riviera but also for walking and mountain-biking. There are some wonderful places to swim in the streams and lakes in the mountains. Our website www.casadeilimoni.eu has a great deal of information and photos of the area and its attractions. If you would like a book to introduce you to the way of life in this part of Liguria, read Extra Virgin by Annie Hawes Penguin 2001, a great read and one which helps you to understand a culture which is probably different to your own. Her village Diano San Pietro is only a few kilometres from Cantalupo.
Swimming Imperia has many excellent places to swim which offer a wide variety of conditions. The closest beach, just 3.,5 km from the house is Borgo Foce: a sheltered bay with the amazing backdrop of the old town of Porto Maurizio. This free beach is very popular with locals and visitors. Small children can enjoy the safe swimming inside the bay where the water is calm even when the sea is rough outside. Snorkelling is good here, too. For those who feel like relaxing there are deckchairs to hire two small bars to frequent or the rocks to lie on. A few hundred metres further to the east is a wide sandy beach.

There are many further attractions: whale watching, diving, hill or mountain walking. Our website has full details www.casadeilimoni.eu

The climate
The Ligurian coast is marked by deep valleys which lead down from the Maritime Alps. This results in remarkably varied microclimates with one valley being considerably warmer or colder than the next. Imperia is fortunate in enjoying excellent conditions, amongst the finest not only in Liguria but also in Italy. We have a lot of sunshine 2900 hours per year. The official meteorological figures record 140 clear days 165 changeable days and only 60 rainy days. Importantly, especially in the summer, a sea breeze moderates the heat: the average temperature is a pleasant 31C. We often hear of the rest of Italy suffering heat waves while we can enjoy the summer. Similarly the winters are very mild averaging 13C and with a lot of sunshine. In addition the humidity is relatively low. The air is often so clear that the island of Corsica can be seen. Together with the moderate temperatures this means a dry seaclimate which is noted as ideal for heart and respitory complaints
