Good to Know
Shopping
It is a good idea to buy groceries, before you arrive at Casa di Baci. The shopping possibilities in Bajardo are limited. We always go to Conad in La Riveiera Shopville which is on the way, when we arrive by car. Here you can everything you need. For directions, please click here
In Bajardo there is a butcher who also sells homemade cheese, and a mini market where you can buy local vegetables, charcuteries, and necessities.
San Remo has a comprehensive shopping district, including a beautiful food market. For parking, go to Piazza Colombo or Parcheggio Casinò
Wine Cellars
If you love wine, you will appreciate our favourite shop in Sanremo Enotica Il Forletto in the old part of the city, close to the Casino. For directions, click here
Beach Life
Casa di Baci is located approximately 25-30 km from the coast (45 min. by car), and you have many different beaches to choose between. We usually go to Bussana. It is a sandy beach, and you don’t have to rent a sunbed to stay there. It has a snack bar, toilet, shower, and pretty much everything you need to have an excellent day at the beach :-) For directions, please click here
MTB Trails
There are excellent MTB trails in the mountains around Casa di Baci. Check out MTB Sanremo for inspiration.To rent a bike visit Danymark in Sanremo.
Hiking & Running
There are numerous hiking tracks in the area. One of our favourite walks goes down into the valley, across an ancient Roman bridge, and continues up to Bajardo on the other side of the valley. We usually go back to the house by the road. ☺ To find the road downhill through the valley, turn right at the asphalt road. You see the dirt road on your left hand after app. 800 metres.
Our favourite running route starts at the asphalt road below the house. You turn right towards Castelvittorio and continue app. 3,5 km to a small chapel just before the next valley. At this point we turn around ☺
Bajardo
Bajardo is the closest village to Casa di Baci. You can see it on the mountaintop 1.8 km away – the distance is 5 km by the road. Bajardo is said to be in the sunniest region of Liguria, 900 meters above sea level. The landscape is unique, and a perfect stop for bikers, looking for a rest and a stunning view.
The village has less than 300 inhabitants but still you'll find a mini market, a butcher shop, a tabacchi, three nice restaurants with traditional, local food: Au Casun, Ristorante Jolanda (Massimo’s), and La Pineta. During summer time the Osteria "Ra Culeta" at Piazza Sonnaz is open too.
Make sure to visit the church ruin in the old part of the village on top of the mountain, as well as the "new" church.
Enjoy :-)
Eating out
Bajardo: Ristorante Jolanda The restaurant is truly Italian and quite authentic. There are no menu cards, but lots of homemade anti-pasta, pasta and dishes with wild boar and rabbit.
