Description
Offer to your family an unforgettable day in the heart of ITALIAN RIVIERA. Treat yourself to this private tour, to discover with an experienced university guide; The glamorous and luxurious life of San Remo; The medieval style of Dolce Aqua, with its streets so narrow and houses so high that the sun struggles to penetrate inside. We leave Nice by taking the famous road 'La Grande Corniche', which is located at an altitude of more than 500 meters. It's the oldest road, built under order of Napoleon I. The Corniche follows the ancient Roman road “Via Augusta”, some passages are original date back to antiquity. Perched on the side of a cliff, it's the best known, the most legendary: sporty, wildest, spectacular of the 3 Corniches, which connect France to Italy. We make several panoramic photo stops. Our first major activity of the day will be the city of San Remo. Discover 'the city of flowers' as the Italians call it, because of these magnificent flowers planting which surround the city on all sides. San Remo is also known for organizing the famous 'Italian song festival'. This city was the favored seaside resort of European aristocracies at the beginning of the 19th century; In 1864, Tsarina Maria Aleksandrovna chose to spend the winter in Sanremo for the first time, which opened the way for elite tourism by Russian nobles, who were attracted by the mild climate and the beauty of the place. Also the Austrian Empress Elisabeth of Wittelsbach (Sissi), stopped several times in San Remo. Then San Remo begins the construction of beautiful architectural masterpieces by this wealthy elite aristocracy who settled semi-permanently in the city. End of the 19th century, the city moved from citrus farming to flower growing. Sanremo offers sumptuous examples of architecture; Baroque, Art Nouveau, Roman and Neoclassical. Among the sites to visit in San Remo we can mention: San Siro Church -12th century, Russian Orthodox Church of Christ the Savior 19th century, Devachan Castle 19th century, Bellevue Palace 1894, Borea d'Olmo Palace, Villa Nobel 1870,... After this stop of history, art, and architecture we head to Dolce Aqua. This small village has brilliantly kept its medieval spirit and soul. It seems to have remained in its original state since the Middles Ages. Start your visit to Dolce Aqua by crossing this pretty Roman bridge of the 13th century which spans the torrent. It connects the two parts of the village. Claude Monet - famous French impressionist painter - enchanted by its beauty, immortalized it in 4 paintings. Discover dark, steep, and complicated streets. The streets are in places so narrow, the houses so high that the sun struggles to penetrate inside. Some passages, completely covered never even see the light of day! The whole thing forms a pretty cobbled maze that transports us happily into the past. A little marvel! With this tour a total change of scenery is guaranteed. You won't forget it easily...Includes
