I sell a beautiful studio apartment in Diano Marina, Liguria,italy, in the area that is called, not surprisingly, the “riviera of flowers”. Here are the rare beaches clear and fine sand, a promenade with palm trees and flowers, the school sailing, the marina and the rocks from which to fish. Right here, in the centre of the village, 4 steps from the pedestrian area, and 72 from the sea, there is a small house, a refuge, where you can rest and unwind, then return to live in the sun. It is a studio, where everything is taken care of, comfortable and elegant. You can find it only if you I say where it is, because it is in an alley (in Liguria we call them alleys) inhabited by green plants, sheltered from the noise of the the road. The studio is on the second and last floor, overlooking the alley thanks to its windows: the large and bright living area and of the bathroom. Open the door and it is all there: the porcelain tiled floor in black slate – here in Liguria slate, volcanic is home to the white furniture design Italian living room and the kitchen, the sofa with its cushions black and white. The furniture has been chosen with care to be beautiful and to occupy the least amount of possible space: with custom-made, are lifted from the ground, are foldable, transparent. Are capacious and hide intelligent solutions (the shoe rack, the space for the vacuum cleaner, the ottoman bed) and express the their linear style with elegance: no handle, only solid wood and lacquered and quality fabrics. The kitchen is white but loves black of her cooker crystal induction and the mosaic, black slate that is the frame. There are three beds, a double and a single bed. Here is not so warm, because there is air conditioning. In the winter, instead, the convector heats up the environment in a few minutes. Now slide the sliding door of black crystal, which from the floor comes up to the ceiling, and discover the bathroom. The tiles slate, the shower in the crystal, the floating white lacquered with washbasin support, the washing machine. And a toilet design that makes it looks surprisingly nice. Here you can rest, because the alley is silent. You can laze, watching the cat of the house in front of which walks on the ledge of the window. You can get a shower before returning to the sun or to live in the country. Diano Marina will charm you: lovely two-storey houses overlooking the the promenade where the inhabitants walk in the afternoon and evening. Roads pedestrian full of shops selling clothing, cafés and restaurants, where you can eat strictly in the open air, even in winter, because here not is never cold, and it almost never rains. If you want to live the sea and the heat of Liguria, the Italian you've found a refuge-kept, welcoming and elegant, where you'll be fine, as I have been.
