City/town information
Dolceacqua is a lovely village nestled in the hills of Val Nervia, and is one of the gems of the Italian Riviera, just minutes from the sea and the nearby French Riviera.
With ancient stone houses on narrow paved alleys, an attractive humpback bridge over a scenic river and a castle overlooking the village Dolceacqua makes an enjoyable excursion from the Riviera di Ponente and the busy Ligurian coast.
Dolceacqua is also known for the olives which are grown in abundance in the region, the locally grown flowers, and a decent red wine called Rossese produced from grapes grown in the surrounding hills.
Highly recommend to visit the Doria Castle and explore the small shops and restaurant around this beautiful town.
