Holiday apartments & homes for family holidays in Dolcedo Dolcedo

We had a wonderful two weeks at Casa Limone with our two children (3 and 6). We have been on vacation in Liguria for many years, so we can say that we have found a special gem here.
The holiday home impresses above all with its special charm, top facilities, the garden characterized by olive trees and cozy spots, and a roof terrace with a magnificent view. You are perched high up in the mountains and can see the sea glimmering in the distance, which, unlike what we are used to, is NOT obscured by the highway bridge.
Excursions can be started directly from the holiday home, up to the chapel of Santa Brigida or down to Dolcedo - beautiful routes that are also manageable for children.
A special highlight for us this year was the visit to the "Grotte di Toirano", a huge dripstone cave with a bear cemetery, underground lake, and footprints of early humans. Our son was thrilled ?
As always, we had fantastic meals in Prela (Ristorante Val Prino). Here you can enjoy Ligurian cuisine (a fixed 9-course menu) at a fair price (35 euros including drinks). They are also open in the evenings, but for us, eating outside on the terrace on Sunday afternoon was particularly beautiful. Be sure to make a reservation!
If there were any questions or problems, the landlords were not only always reachable at short notice, despite being on vacation themselves, but also solution-oriented and very friendly. Not a matter of course!
For those who come to Liguria for the first time, it should be known that the roads are often quite long and arduous - the road is usually very narrow, so the reverse gear sometimes has to be engaged so that two cars can pass each other - but it is rewarded with a view and pure nature! Meanwhile, Liguria has become the ultimate vacation for us - mountains, sea, perfect temperatures, Italian Dolce Vita, and the special atmosphere of such fantastic holiday homes. Thank you for two relaxing and wonderful weeks!

We always spend our holidays in a holiday home, but we have never stayed in such a great place as we did this week!
Very tasteful and high-quality furnishings with attention to detail, idyllic location, beautiful seating in the garden incl. village cats and fireflies, equipment for all eventualities, fly screens everywhere, basket with local produce.... There was so much! Apart from the mosquitoes and the narrow and winding mountain roads, we really enjoyed our time in this perfect location.

Our holiday in Al Fiume with Felix was simply wonderful. A cosy, totally individual holiday flat, surrounded by an enchanting, beautiful garden. We immediately felt super comfortable, never before have I felt so quickly and immediately like I was on holiday. Nothing about this place is quite perfect and has a quirk or two, but that's what makes it unique. Felix is a relaxed and very friendly landlord who knows how to help with any problem and quickly accommodates guests' wishes. We enjoyed the closeness to nature with the beautiful pool, the somewhat crooked table tennis table, the mountain stream waiting nearby with wonderful, cold water so much that the trips to the otherwise so favoured sea were extremely rare and then it was even often evening by the time we could tear ourselves away. The children who were with us (between 4 and 9 years old) did not experience one second of boredom. Pure adventure. That is also the only restriction for Al Fiume: I would rather not go there with children who are already walking but still unsure. The garden is terraced, there are steep parts now and then, lots of steps and unclear terrain. Our daughter, who was 4, was not allowed to leave the flat without water wings because the pool is on the way to the other holiday flat and is not visible from the flat. Apart from that, I can give a very clear travel recommendation: We are going there again this Whitsun with our friends! You can go on wonderful and also adventurous hikes from the place, where even the children won't get bored (with great views, swimming pools, etc.). Dolcedo is a nice village with good restaurants, it's not far to the sea and the paths that have to be covered with the Golfmobile were - at least at the beginning - nerve-wracking, but also a lot of fun!
