Chalet in Botticino

The area sits on the eastern edge of the Brescian built-up zone, in the first limestone hills between the city plain and the inland ridges. Botticino is known for Botticino marble, with quarries and worked stone as a defining part of the local landscape. Brescia is immediately adjacent and provides the full services of a provincial capital, including major shopping, rail links, hospitals and a large historic centre with UNESCO-listed Roman and Lombard monuments. Lake Garda is beyond the 15 km radius, so it does not define the immediate setting.
