Mini appartamento - San Polo d'Enza

This is the first hilly belt south of Reggio Emilia, in the Enza valley between the Po plain and the northern Apennines. The Enza river runs nearby and marks the boundary with the province of Parma. The Matildic hills are the main local landscape, with mixed farmland, wooded slopes and ridgelines; Canossa and the Rupe di Canossa are within the area and are the best-known historic landmark in these hills. The nearest larger town is Reggio Emilia, which provides the full range of rail, shops, schools and hospitals. The area is known for Parmigiano Reggiano production and for the Matilde di Canossa castles and hill country.
