Wonderful!
I absolutely LOVED my stay! The hotel service was awesome. I had an issue with my booking and they went above and beyond to resolve it. The room was really lovely. The only downside was that the water had a bad smell and the AC unit made a loud intermittent buzz that was a bit hard to sleep through...but it is a medieval village after all, so there's that to take into consideration. Apricale (the village) is just incredible! I've been traveling for a month now, and been to five other countries, and this was one of my favorite sopts of the whole trip so far!

It was fine but a little disappointing. The bathroom needed an upgrade. Also, be aware that you will need to carry your suitcase for about 200 meters on cobblestone.The village itself was really beautiful.

Humid and no windows
The rooms are very high in humidity. Some rooms are without any window, while others have tiny windows. On the photo is very nice window look, but we didn`t had it. Quite shocked.

Pleasant but not what we were expecting.
We were expecting a nice little Italian hotel, but rather this is a collection of rooms scattered around the town. The check-in process was poor, as we couldn't find the reception and there are signs for the various rooms scattered around town. Breakfast was not very good and our shower was broken. The room itself was pleasant and located near the centre of the town. We tried to book two activities, which were suggested to us on a list provided by the hotel, but neither were available. I'd say the room was poor value for money.

Visit Apricale!
Apricale is an amazing village, but due to the extremely steep and rocky streets, we do not recommend it for anyone with mobility issues. The Albergo Diffuso is a relatively new concept that allows small villages to provide hotel space in multiple locations scattered throughout the village without having a large central hotel. The buildings containing hotel rooms were clean and in excellent condition; the rooms were clean, nicely furnished, and surprisingly well appointed. We highly recommend a visit to Apricale. Be sure to eat at one of the local restaurants. We tried two of them and found the food and service to be superb.

Fantastic hotel in medieval city
This was absolutely great experience. But please, remember that you will need to have very lang walk with all your luggage from Hotel reception to your room. - aprox. 10-15 mins to hill through medieval city, but after this you will surprised by room and absolutely fantastic homemade breakfast.

Hotel is interesting. Rooms are located in the village not in one particular house. This place has its own personality.

Something very different
The Albergo Diffuso is a delightful idea - from a central and accessible reception the staff whisk you to your room or apartment in the heart of this historic mountain village. Breakfast is provided in a lovely facility which is very convenient to our apartment. You get a real taste of living in this delightful town. The staff are so welcoming and helpful - you won't want to leave.

Picturesque stay in Apricale
We booked this place for the Formula 1 race in Monte Carlo, based on its reviews. Reaching it by car was a real challenge, as both GPS devices we had took us along a very narrow, poorly maintained and poorly marked road from San Remo over the mountain, to Apricale. The road to take is from Ventimiglia, which is much better. The room was comfortable and people very friendly. Getting the baggage to and from the room entailed a 10 minute pull up/down steep streets, so the recommendation is to use light backpacks and leave the heavy bags in the car.
