My family and I just returned from spending a wonderful Christmas in Pigna. The apartment is large, clean and comfortable. We were surprised to find a beautiful & dramatic natural waterfall next to the bedroom windows coming down from the mountain - apparently its there when its been raining, though we had lovely weather the week we were there. The beds were very cosy! The kitchen has all the basics and we cooked excellent meals with the locally acquired ingredients. The village is lovely & historic and one can walk extensively through it and up to a mountain top; there is an ancient church where we attended Midnight Mass and felt welcome. A car is essential and from Pigna, one can day trip to the French Riviera, or visit nearby towns Sanremo, Ventimiglia, Apricale, Dolceaqua. Neil responded to all our queries promptly and gave us great advice. A great winter getaway - would love to go back in another season! Highly recommended!
