Our land is located in the Valbormid hills 6 km from the town of Piana Crixia, 470 m above sea level.
The property is surrounded by woods and stretches and over 10 hectares around, with mainly southern exposure, adjacent to the Piana Crixia Regional Nature Park.
The beaches are about forty minutes away by car; you can also enjoy the coolness and nature by visiting the Adelasia Park, or the adjacent hills with their streams and springs.
The setting
Roe deer, hares, and small wild animals walk in the surroundings, and the few nearby houses are several hundred meters away; the road leading here is sparsely trafficked, this allows you to enjoy the sounds of nature and its silences.
The view sweeps as far as the slopes of Mount Begua overlooking Genoa, and the hills of the Cadibona Pass.
The spots
We accommodate you in a 5-meter-diameter Canvas Camp tent, located in a small plain surrounded by sage and lavender plants, secluded and independent, but only a few meters away from the main house, or in a 4-person Bertoni technical tent with a veranda, more suitable for a couple, located in the oak forest beside the house.
The tents are furnished with mattresses and rugs.

The activities
Magical forest paths unfold around the house, which in ancient times connected nearby localities to the principality of Lodisio.
It is possible to walk along them and explore the surroundings for miles around.
A stream, a tributary of the Bormida, flows from the hill around Lodisio, and over time has carved out characteristic canyons in the old forest.
The area is famous for its abundance of mushrooms and truffles.
In the surrounding localities there are a number of equestrian centers, several typical trattorias, and an Irish Pub on the hill opposite; in the summertime the Bormida Valley offers a remarkable variety of wine and food festivals dedicated to the most typical and imaginative local specialties.
Other things
During the summer period, aromatics growing in the plains around are harvested, distilled, dried and prepared, so it is possible to watch and/or participate in the process of distillation and processing.
