Ventimiglia

A morning on the seafront, a walk through the medieval alleys, an afternoon immersed in greenery: having a second home in Ventimiglia means being able to choose a different rhythm every day. To discover its oldest face, one climbs to Ventimiglia Alta, where little streets and squares lead to the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. However, the history of the city begins long before the Middle Ages: in the Nervia archaeological area, the remains of ancient Albintimilium and the Roman theater tell another chapter of its past. For those who love nature, Mortola offers a visit to the Hanbury Botanical Gardens, where plants from different parts of the world grow on a promontory overlooking the sea. At Balzi Rossi, instead, the coastal landscape meets prehistory, among caves and evidence of a very ancient presence. For those who imagine a second home to visit even outside of summer, these experiences offer opportunities to return: a cultural visit, a walk through the gardens, or a few days dedicated to discovering the territory.
