The resort town of San Remo may be small in stature, but it is grandiose in style and atmosphere. The streets of San Remo are lined with world-class hotels, exotic gardens, and seaside promenades. Long a haven for European aristocracy, San Remo is located on the western rim of the Italian Riviera, about 10 miles from Monaco and 30 miles east of Nice, France. The old town area has a rich mediaeval heritage. The modified cathedral of San Siro originally dates back to the thirteenth century. The interior preserves a Crucifix by Maragliano and a canvas by Pancalino showing San Siro surrounded by other saints. The single-nave sanctuary of the Madonna della Costa goes back to the seventeenth century. Here you can admire frescoes by Giacomo Antonio Boni and a painting from the Barnaba da Modena School (late fourteenth century) as well as paintings by Domenico Fiasella.

A little history of the Castello & San Remo

On April 19, 1920, the First World War Allies leaders, working through the League of Nations, gathered at the Castello Devachan in San Remo, Italy to carve up Turkey and parts of the Middle East. With the last dusk of the International Peace Conference, the conferees granted France the mandate for both Syria and Lebanon. The British received the mandate for Iraq, and also Palestine, under a provision creating a Jewish homeland. The Allied Heads of State, including the UK Prime Minister, Lloyd George, the French & Italian Presidents, Millerand and Nitti, actually held their meetings in the part of the Castello that is now our apartment, where they discussed the various territorial problems, including the general framework of the Turkish peace treaty. We have a set of the minutes of that Conference & will gladly email a copy to any guest booking a stay in our apartment. A famous American painter has painted a large canvas of the Conference, and this now hangs in the entrance hall.

Things to see & places to visit

Restaurants nearby include G & G, Mare Blu, (just down the road from the Gucci, Prada and Guess stores, Ulisse where you can savour a 9 course Ligurian meal for around EURO 30, Il Bagatto in the centre of town, and Della Palme in the old harbour. Don't miss out on the fantastic selection of home-made ice creams at the Living Garden, situated at the sea-front. A must to see is the Russian Orthodox Church, Villa Nobel, Villa Ormond and the famous San Remo Casino. San Remo is the town of art, culture, and sports: fishing, diving, canoeing, sailing, whale-watching, wind surfing, and motor boating - together with golfing, riding, swimming, baseball, and fitness facilities. The old town area has a rich medieval heritage. The modified cathedral of San Siro originally dates back to the thirteenth century. The interior preserves a Crucifix by Maragliano and a canvas by Pancalino showing San Siro surrounded by other saints.

The Castello Devachan - A guest's comments

I want to document how much Olga & I enjoyed our stay at Castello Devachan. As well you know, I have a rather extensive knowledge of the Castello, visually, from having created the painting for you relating to the 1920 League of Nations' conference there after World War I. I was not prepared, however, for the beauty of the Castello & the wonderful accommodations your place provided. Olga and I thoroughly enjoyed the facilities, the patio and garden, the magnificent views from the dining room and patio, and the feeling of total privacy one experienced. One warning to all who stay there....The master bedroom is so very conducive to sleep, one can miss most of the day!! Total luxury and quiet. As this was our first visit to San Remo (not, of course to Italy), we both fell in love with the city. It had everything and was not overwhelming. The proximity to other towns and to Genova was a definite plus. We both agree that Castello Devachan was one of favorite stops - David Schor FL. USA

Skiing Information:

In winter, skiers will find snow-covered ski runs at Limone Piemonte and a little further away, at Monesi and Santo Stefano d'Aveto.

Golf Information:

The Sanremo Golf Course is ten minutes drive from the apartment. It has 18 holes, the greens are found in a beautiful mountain scenery. The course has its own bar, restaurant and congress centre. The course is used by many international champions and it is one of the very few golf courses in northern Italy that is open throughout the year The Club was founded in 1932 and it is one of the most important golf clubs in the Mediterranean area. It was designed by English architects and was the very first golf club in Italy. Set in a marvellous natural scenery, the Golf Club is surrounded by age-old olive groves and luxuriant hills - just overlooking the Ligurian Sea. It is the perfect place for 'golf lovers' and it can suit both experts and beginners. You can spend the day among the olive groves and then enjoy a tasty dinner at the Golf Club restaurant. Throughout the year several important events are organized here, such as the International Winter Tournament in February organised by the Rotary Fellowship, the 'Trofeo delle Due Riviere' (i.e., the 'Trophy of the Two Rivieras') in March, and other events that take place in summer and fall. Be sure to explore the beautifully laid out Castle gardens, which also contain a communal swimming pool and tennis court. In addition to the stunning views of the sea , the apartment has the benefit of its own exclusive garden and a well shaded patio (with steps down to the exclusive garden).

We had a wonderful stay in San Remo! Allesandro took good care of us, & the driver he found, Livio Faraldi, was great. He took us on two day trips in Italy - the Apricale loop and to the Cinque Terre, two highlights of the holiday. The apartment was comfortable & we enjoyed the patio & view much. In all, we were very pleased and had a superb vacation. Jim Conkright Kansas US 11/10/06 ** Superb apartment. Good access from airport & a nice drive to such a characterful town. Even found time to sample the delights of France, which is deceptively close. Not enough time to do everything or sample the great cuisine of the area, so will have to come back..02/09/03 - P Hook - UK ** Great flat! Great setting & comfort! We enjoyed the golf at local club & had fabulous fish in the restaurants - Robert - UK 02/08/03 ** 'We had a wonderful time at the Castello. The apartment was set up with all we needed and when we had any questions or issues, the property manager was always available. Rosario USA
