IL FUNTANIN
Ventimiglia Alta
OBSERVE THE LANDSCAPE
Overlooking the new marina, the balcony allows you to appreciate the passage from the high and jagged cliff, to the west, to the beach of Ventimiglia towards the east. Gateway to the medieval historic center, near the MAR Archaeological Museum in the Fort of the Annunziata, invites you to walk the stretch towards the French border, between gardens of prestigious villas, nurseries of floriculturists and crops. The stretch towards France has a rich Mediterranean vegetation in addition to exotic plants from the various gardens and botanical collections (including the Hanbury acclimatization gardens). From the Aurelia there is access to a lower path towards the caves and the prehistoric museum of Balzi Rossi and to a higher one with breathtaking views, towards the villages of Mortola Superiore and Grimaldi.
