Appartamento in Carrodano

The cluster sits in the Ligurian Apennines (Appennino Ligure) on the inland side of the La Spezia province. The local valley system is the Val di Vara and the nearby waterways are tributaries of the Vara river. The Ligurian coast is about 9 km away; nearby coastal towns include Levanto and Deiva Marina. Levanto has a railway station on the Genoa–La Spezia line with frequent regional trains linking to La Spezia, Genoa and the Cinque Terre. Within 15 km there are small towns such as Varese Ligure and Brugnato offering local shops and municipal services. There are no ski lifts in the immediate area; alpine-style ski facilities are farther inland and at higher elevations. Land cover around the cluster is mainly mixed woodland and small-scale agriculture (olive groves, chestnut and oak woods).
