The Holiday Apartments

2 apartments in my stone built house in Bussana Vecchia, the unique artists medieval village overlooking the sea on one side and the foothills of the Italian Alpes on the other.

Large light rooms with vaulted ceilings and tiled floors. With both mountain and sea air, legend has it that Bussana Vecchia is so called because it is built on the site of a Roman Villa which was called 'Bissana.' (Twice healthy).

Nice airport is an hour away by car, Monte Carlo half an hour. Genoa's new airport with low cost Ryan Air flights is about an hour and half.

There are good beaches a mile away and 15 to 20 minutes drive inland brings you to age old forests, chestnut groves, ruined castles and villages perched precariously among olive groves. Railway station and motorway (3 km).

San Remo, Casino and night life (5km). Bussana Vecchia rebuilt by International Artists attracted media interest. BBC TV&Radio. Associated Press.TV. Daily Express. The Independent and New York Times.

My apartments are recommended by both The Lonely Planet & Michael Muller verlag guides and my house featured in the CasAntica magazine.

   Amazing story we had discovered in Colin's Bussana Vecchia. Started from Host Colin Wilmot with his Gallery and Studio, through roof with beautiful view terrace, bar Golosa with wonderful breakfast and evening's restaurants. We found superb place for stay after very dangerous trip to BV. Thank's Colin for All. We hope see in the future.

   Great place for a holiday. The apartment is great, all what you need, mister Wilmot is the perfect host in his own way. And he has made some really cool paintings. We spent a week, but i guess it would be a great place for a longer stay also. I totally agree with most of the stuff in the other ratings, most important things are noted, rooftop terrace with a nice but with some special features(no spoilers), splendid cafe and restaurants in Bussana Vecchia, interesting art in the galleries, though the village could do with some younger artists also in my opinion...maximum recommendation from us!

   The old stone house with all necessary improvements and stylish interior. The landlord is a very creative and unbelievable person.
   This is a very unusual, interesting and unique place. Reality is excel my expectations! I think Bussana Vecchia is a Fairyland outside time and space. You can be a guest of king in his ancient castle. Dream to come back...

   Bussana Vecchia is not an average place to stay. We really enjoyed the warm welcome of lord Colin!
   
   The appartment is well decorated with art. It has all basic needs and a superb view from the top roof! Perfect place to stay to get out of our so organized busy lives.
   
   It has nice restaurants where you can meet the locals (artists) in the evening. Colin can tell very lively about the history of this special village.

   We had a wonderful one week vacation in Bussana Vecchia, at Colin Wilmot's studio. We very much enjoyed the individual and free minded atmosphere - no need to do anything, to go anywhere, everything is coming to you. There is space for everything and everybody in this little village, friendly people and beautiful music around. We heard a nice concert at the church, just next door. To spend time on the terrace above the apartment with a view to the hills and the sea is a pleasure during the day and night time. The apartment contains everything you need during your stay. Thanks to Colin!
