Ecovillage Torri Superiore opens its simple and cosy guesthouse to travellers and groups interested in ecology, sustainability, and community living. The little medieval village (XIII century) is located in the Ventimiglia hinterland, a few km. away from the sea and the French border. Built at the foothills of the Maritime Alps, on the slope of Monte Grammondo (1300 mt.), the hamlet is surrounded by beautiful olive and citrus trees, mimosa and Mediterranean flora. Since 1989, the "Torri Superiore Cultural Association" has gradually bought the village, and has transformed the abandoned village into and ecovillage with a permanent cultural centre and a guesthouse. A resident community was born and counts now 19 members.
The guesthouse offers double and multiple rooms (up to 4 beds per room), with and without private bathroom; a restaurant with special evening meals (Mediterranean and ethnic cuisine, meat, fish, vegetarian dishes) based on organic and locally-grown produce; ample terraces for sun-bathing and relaxing. Take away lunches for trekkers are available. Laundry facilities, a small library and an internet point are also at the guests' disposal.
For groups (minimum 8 people): presentation of the Ecovillage on Saturday night.
Torri Superiore is a member of GEN - Global Ecovillage Network, of RIVE - Rete Italiana Villaggi Ecologica, and of the Italian Permaculture Academy.
