Via Cortogno, 7, Casina

The area is in the northern Apennines, in the hill belt south of Reggio Emilia. The Enza valley is nearby, and the Secchia valley is not far to the east. The Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano lies to the south, with the main protected ridges and higher summits reached farther up the mountains rather than around the village itself. The nearest ski area is Cerreto Laghi, roughly an hour’s drive depending on road and season. The nearest town of size is Reggio Emilia, which provides the full set of city services, rail links and a historic centre. This part of the province is known for wooded ridges, pasture, small stone hamlets, and for Parmigiano Reggiano production in the Apennine foothills.
