Rustico in Montebruno

The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennines, in the upper Trebbia valley, with wooded ridges and narrow valley roads around it. The Trebbia river runs through this area. Much of the surrounding landscape falls within the Parco naturale regionale dell’Antola. The nearest ski area is Santo Stefano d’Aveto on Monte Bue, roughly an hour’s drive depending on the road. The nearest town of some size is Chiavari on the coast, while inland the local service centres are small Apennine valley towns such as Torriglia. This part of inland eastern Liguria is known for chestnut woods, summer walking, and the Trebbia valley landscape noted by travellers between Liguria and Piacenza.
