Location

The apartment sits on Via Fieschi, in the heart of a village listed among the most beautiful in Italy (Borghi più belli d’Italia), where tall houses lean together over cobbled lanes. Piazza Principe Doria is a 1-minute walk away. There, Bocù Bottega e Cucina serves dinner a minute from the door, and Ristorante Al Caminetto is just as close. For self-catering, the village grocer is a 1-minute walk, and Cristina Bottega del Sapore, a deli on Piazza Alvigini, is 5 minutes away.

History is never far away. The ruins of Garbagna’s 9th-century castle, with its watchtower and old walls, look down over the rooftops from a hill just a 5-minute walk away. A 28-minute walk through the woods leads to the 14th-century Sanctuary of the Madonna del Lago. Time a stay for early June to catch the village’s Cherry Festival, or for October, when Piazza Doria fills for the chestnut festival. Beyond the valley, the museums of the painter Pellizza da Volpedo are a 22-minute drive, the cathedral town of Tortona is 26 minutes away, and Serravalle Designer Outlet is a 27-minute drive. The nearest international airport is Genoa Cristoforo Colombo, about a 1-hour-and-10-minute drive away, while Milan Linate is around 1 hour and 15 minutes.
