Discover Apricale

A waterfall of picturesque stone houses on a sun-drenched hill, dominated at the top by its Castle, Apricale has officially been designated “one of the most beautiful villages of Italy” - and offers a way of life few places can match. Apricale is home to around 650 residents representing 33 nationalities – a remarkably cosmopolitan community for such an intimate locale. The narrow, winding streets echo the thousand years of history, where cultural festivals, art exhibitions, and traditional celebrations breathe life into the village year-round. Summer brings the open-air theatre festival for two weeks each August, where the Theater of Genoa puts on outdoor shows in different parts of the village every evening. The beloved and tasty Pansarole festival in September is a must, and throughout the year you are welcomed by a host of concerts and dance evenings under the stars. Even the winter holidays are observed in time-honored fashion, as villagers gather around communal bonfires to mark Christmas and New Year.

Culinary Delights

With a rich culinary tradition woven into everyday life, Apricale tempts you with authentic Ligurian flavors at every turn. Start your day slowly at home at Villa Apricus – with a lingering breakfast under the pergola of the outdoor summer kitchen, or by slipping into the village rhythm with a colazione al bar – a quick espresso at the café as you head out to explore. After a day spent embracing the Riviera lifestyle, the village comes alive with the aromas of freshly prepared dishes. The village square remains the heart of Apricale – a timeless meeting point for the people. In summer, it is the perfect spot for an aperitivo at one of the lively family-run restaurants, followed by a meal crafted with love, passion, and generations of knowledge. Please make sure to visit the local favorite Apricus Osteria, where Aldo, friend of &Hamlet, welcomes you with open arms – and ensures every visit feels like coming home. On cooler evenings, the warmth continues indoors, but on those perfect Ligurian days when the temperature is just right, the large covered terrace with Instagrammable views of the Nervia Valley awaits you.

The Riviera — at your doorstep

Some days call for a change of pace. From Villa Apricus, the glittering Riviera is just a graceful descent away. Imagine lunch in Monaco, where the spirit of a bygone, more elegant age lingers among shaded boulevards and sunlit terraces. The glamour of Formula 1, the elegance of Cap Ferrat, the charm of Menton and Bordighera — all within easy reach. Trace the curves of the coastline, just as Grace Kelly and Cary Grant once did in To Catch a Thief, the hills opening toward a sea of possibility. Step into the hush of the Casino de Monte Carlo, or simply sip a drink by the harbor, watching the world pass by in slow motion. When the day draws to a close, the greatest luxury awaits: returning to Apricale. Forty minutes, and the world is yours — the mountains, the stars, and the subtle grace of life lived on your own terms.

Activities

From Villa Apricus, the Ligurian landscape unfolds in every direction — a private playground for those seeking both tranquility and adventure. Centuries-old footpaths once connecting hilltop villages now lead hikers and mountainbikers through olive groves, across ridges, and toward panoramic peaks reaching 1,200 meters. Choose a gentle walk or a more demanding route to Baiardo or Perinaldo, where sweeping views over the Nervia Valley await — best enjoyed with a rustic lunch and a well-earned glass of chilled rosé. On the many warmer days, the crystal-clear streams of the Nervia river invite refreshing river swims in untouched nature, while the Ligurian coast, just 15 minutes away, tempts with sailing, kayaking, and sun-drenched beaches. Cyclists will discover an abundance of scenic routes,from rolling countryside roads to the renowned Ciclovia Riviera dei Fiori, tracing the old coastal railway line. In autumn, the olive harvest brings locals and guests together — a convivial gathering marked by laughter, shared meals, and the first taste of the freshly pressed green gold. For those drawn to tradition, the surrounding hills also host time-honored pursuits like seasonal hunting. Whether you move slowly or swiftly, Apricale invites you to reconnect with nature — on your own terms, in a setting where every path rewards you.
