Rustico/casale in Cascina Contrada 3

This is the lower Po plain around the Po River, with flat fields, farm roads, irrigation channels and levees; the river itself is the main landscape feature within reach. The nearest larger town is Pavia, which has a university, hospitals and a substantial historic centre; Stradella is closer for everyday services and rail connections. The area is known for arable farming on the plain and for wine on the nearby Oltrepò Pavese hills, which begin beyond the immediate flatland.
