"Pros: We were trying to find somewhere in Italy close to the border as my husband & son had never been (trip was to go to Formula E at Monaco & combine with holiday). On reading reviews & looking at the location being near the train station (as we decided not to hire a car), we contacted Laura & Alessandro. Our flight home wasn't until 11 pm, so we asked if we could keep the accommodation until the evening, which they kindly agreed. We flew to Nice & through trial & error discovered, you can walk 10 mins to St Augustin train station where you can get a direct train to Ventimiglia at a cost of £20.90 for 3 of us one way (our son 24 yrs was classed as youth). Laura met us on the platform & gave us a lift with our luggage but also pointed out a shortcut from the accommodation through to station that only takes 5 mins compared to going over bridge 15 mins. Accommodation was perfect for us with everything we needed & more. It was extremely clean & tidy with personal touches like lemons on the table from the tree outside, welcome tray with tea/coffee/milk pots & biscuits, as well as water in the fridge The views over the town from the balcony are amazing & you can see through to the sea. The bonus of the garden with table & chairs & separate area with recently purchased loungers was cherry on the top. Laura was an amazing host & went above & beyond to help us - especially with a personal problem I had that under most circumstances could have been very awkward!! She was extremely helpful with local information, recommendations for places to visit, eat at & even deliveroo pizza from Zero18. We could not praise her enough & feel so blessed & thankful to find Casa l'agrumeto 🙏 On using local trains, it was so easy & booked via the trainline app & paid by PayPal, We visited Sanremo, which cost £18 return for the 3 of us. Cons: Nothing - just if you have mobility issues be aware there are steps up to front door & a flight of stairs to apartment door." ~Sally

"Pros: This apartment was an excellent place for our two nights in Ventimiglia and had everything we needed for a two night stay. The location is a few minutes walk from the station and easy to find. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was nicely renovated, and the kitchen well equipped. Being in Ventimiglia on a Friday turned out to be an extra bonus as there are large markets on every Friday. They are so popular that many shoppers come by train from Franc for the very low prices an clothing, household items, and much more, Cons: No complaints at all - except climbing all those stairs with a heavy suitcase, which is entirely my responsibility!" ~Australiannomad
