Get Directions

High up above Bordighera

The small village of Sasso is easily accessed from Bordighera It is an ancient fortified village, surrounded by orchards, greenhouses, olive and palm trees. It was built on a rock platform (hence the name), 219 meters high above Bordighera (6 km from the city center).

Sasso retains strong tower-houses and remains of the town walls that expose the original defensive function and strategic. Sasso is easily accessible by bus. Founded perhaps by some citizens of Taggia, Sasso was one of the “ville” who in 1686 rebelled in Ventimiglia and formed the Magnificent Community of the Eight Places. The eighteenth-century Church of St. Peter and Paul retains a fresco by Maurizio Carrega (XVIII c.), as the main altarpiece.

The garden of Irene Brin is non-traditional garden, completely remodelled, modifying the walking areas by creating levels with tons of modulated earth at different heights with sculptural and landscaped sensitivity. A work of art of significant dimensions: gracefully placed stone sculptures of varying shapes, modelled land with a grass mantle, which together make up an oasis of elegant contemporary scenography, a tribute to Irene Brin, a writer and journalist of indisputable fascination and style.
