Villetta a schiera in Via cavour, 30, Villalvernia,

The cluster sits in the Scrivia valley between the lower Piedmont hills and the first Ligurian Apennine ridges. The Scrivia river runs through this area, and within about 15 km the main landscape is a mix of valley floor, cultivated fields and low hills around Tortona and the roads toward the Apennine passes. Tortona is the nearest town of size, with a full set of daily services and a historic centre. This part of south-eastern Piedmont is known for wine hills and mixed farming, with Timorasso vineyards established around the Tortona hills.
