 A
rustico to restore in Western Liguria
owns its moderate climate to its special geographical position.
It is a natural amphitheatre facing south and shielded from the cold
northern winds by the Sea Alps and the northern Apennines. These very same
elements influence winter temperatures.
The Riviera of Flowers offers thousands of views and its imposing
scenery: hills covered by olive groves with shining silver-like leaves,
picturesque villages perched on the hills; old towns characterised by small
houses and winding carrugi, as well as sea views of cliffs diving into
the blue sea, well-known resorts along the coast and lovely villages
full of charm and history scattered throughout the hinterland.
Baiardo is a village with about 350
inhabitants and is located in the Ligurian Maritime Alps at
900 m over sea level, and spreads over 24.000 hectares, most of which are
covered by olive groves. The remaining area is fallow ground, on a part of
which flowers are now grown, and then vineyards, chestnut trees and woods. A
vast pine-wood in the Armea valley is recognised as a biotope.
The historical village core, that was abandoned by the population after the
Second World War, has now been beautifully restored. The village of Baiardo was
founded in the first millennium b.C. and has maintained up to the
present day its typical Ligurian country architecture.
It’s a great place to relax, unwind, think, read, write,
paint… be what you choose at the pace you choose. If you want to be alone,
perfect. If not, the people of the village are open and will talk to you for
hours. Alternatively if you prefer to be busy there are plenty of cobbled
streets to explore or hikes and trails into the mountains. It is also just
as easy to pull up a chair out on the terrace and wait for the sun to set
over the mountains. |
