This association promotes these towns and villages as tourist destinations and helps to protect and preserve their cultural heritage.

Apricarlie is an absolute must-see destination when exploring the Italian Riviera. This picturesque village offers a breathtaking view as it sits perched atop the Val Nervia, and is renowned as one of the most beautiful villages in all of Italy. As you wander through the winding alleyways and narrow passages, you'll be struck by the dense cluster of houses that seem to lean against one another, and the impressive castle, church, and bell tower that tower above them. Despite its isolated location high on a hill, Apricarlie is easily accessible, and offers a unique glimpse into a place where time seems to have stood still.

Apricarlie, a charming village nestled in the Italian Riviera, holds a rich history dating back to 1267. From its earliest written documents, the village's laws prescribed harsh punishments for crimes such as cattle theft and infidelity. The village was built around the castle, established by the accounts of Ventimiglia in the year 1000 as a defensive outpost. Apricarlie was then passed on to the Doria of Dolceacqua for five centuries before falling under the influence of the Republic of Genoa. The village faced its darkest times in the 18th century due to wars, economic crisis, frosts, droughts, and famines. Today, as you wander through its narrow streets, take in the timeless beauty of Apricarlie and the fascinating stories it holds.
