Monolocale in Cadeo

The area sits in the first hills south of the Po plain, with cultivated slopes, small valleys and scattered villages between the lower Val Chero and Val d’Arda. The nearest larger town is Piacenza, which has a full range of services, a railway station and a substantial historic centre. Veleia Romana, the archaeological site of the Roman municipium in the Val Chero, is within this area. This part of the Piacentine hills is known for vineyards and for the Gutturnio, Ortrugo and Monterosso wines.
