Ignore the one negative review left below. Those guests should have done some research before they decided to book in Ventimiglia, perhaps they should've gone to Benidorm instead. However, if you want something more interesting and infinitely more beautiful then go here.

We absolutely fell in love with not only Ventimiglia, but the house itself. When we arrived we were greeted with a stunning courtyard that provided a bit of shade from the blazing midday sun. The house was really clean and was stocked with plenty of clean linen and tonnes of space. The bedrooms were absolutely lovely with stunning furniture and charm. Upstairs (outside) was another terrace, perfect for sitting out on in the cooler evenings.

Yes, the house is quite high up, and you do need reasonably 'good legs' to walk up and down to the beach/town (20 mins), but the medieval alleyways and shops etc. made it all so worthwhile, especially during the evenings when they're all lit up (very special). Being up quite high does provide you with some stunning views out to sea and, to the right, Monaco etc. which are absolutely stunning, providing a really nice warm breeze.

There is a small amount of graffiti, but that's to be expected and certainly doesn't detract from the beauty of the place. Some dog owners do tend to leave their dog's mess on the pavements, but in the grand scheme of things, is a really minor drawback. This is a place where real people live in real homes, it's not a holiday resort.

There are a few excellent local shops, where you can buy all your basics and some YUMMY food (try the torta verdi and pizzas). The lady in the local mini supermarket is lovely, even if you don't speak Italian, so I don't know what those people were talking about. Some excellent and cheap restaurants within walking distance too.

There's so much to say but not enough space here! I will say that we'll definitely be going back again sometime. It would be really useful if there was a visitors book so that guests could share thoughts and ideas of things to do etc. but apart from that, everything was perfect and we didn't want to come home.
