Casa del Maiale is centrally located in the facade of the medieval "borgo" Verrandi (municipality of Ventimiglia).
The village lies at the foot of the Maritime Alps at an altitude of about 200 meters, only 7 kilometers from the sea and almost literally on the border of the Italian Flower Riviera (Liguria) and the French Côte d'Azur.
From the Netherlands it is easily accessible by car via Belgium/France and via Germany/Switzerland. It is only half an hour's drive from Nice Airport on the highway: only the last 2 kilometers are a mountain road.
The apartment with authentic vaulted spaces is approximately 70 square meters and consists on the first floor of a kitchen with adjoining balcony with an unobstructed view of the San Lorenzo church and the Roya valley. On the ground floor, which can be reached via an internal spiral staircase from the kitchen, there are 2 bedrooms and the bathroom with shower cabin, sink, toilet and bidet. Right next to the house, also on the ground floor, is an extra bedroom with its own entrance and bathroom with shower, sink and toilet.
On the ground floor there is central heating through a boiler with fixed gas connection. There is also a romantic fireplace in the kitchen. Hot water via the combi boiler. With the exception of the guest room, the water can also be converted to the electric boiler (useful if the gas price is very high).
For the past 5 years we have used Casa del Maiale as a guest house and with great pleasure also rented it out via Micazu, mainly during the summer holidays. In 2022 we bought another apartment in the village which we want to develop further since it is still in "original condition".
If desired, (part of) the household effects can be taken over: the apartment is then in principle ready to move into. “Trial living” is also possible via the Micazu rental platform.
We, an Italian/Dutch family with 2 growing boys, are in Verrandi almost every school holiday. Casa del Maiale may also be suitable for winter visitors or people who want to benefit from the peace and mild Mediterranean climate in a small, authentic Ligurian village outside the high season.
The possibilities in the vicinity of the village are very diverse and too many to mention. From the guests who have stayed at the Casa del Maiale in the past, we noticed that the interests varied widely, but that everyone was more than satisfied.
If you are interested, you can also contact our Italian broker, who fortunately also speaks Dutch and English, but we are of course prepared to provide further explanation.
