This is an area which many people call an undiscovered paradise, and the house in in a quiet and secluded location. There are only a few houses in the small village, no shops or cafes, and the garden is in the olive groves, unspoilt and private. The terrain rises quite sharply from the cost, all the way to the Alpes Maritime in France, and of course there is skiing in winter, on both sides of the border. The Italian villages were based largely on the olive industry, still very important, and thousands of terraces were built in C15 and C16 on which the trees were planted.
