Bilocale in Calizzano

The cluster is in the Ligurian Alps, on the wooded upper Bormida valley near Colle del Melogno. The Bormida di Millesimo runs through this part of the valley. The area lies by the Bric Tana regional natural reserve near Millesimo, known for karst caves and limestone outcrops. The nearest ski area is the small lifts of Garessio 2000, roughly an hour away by road, which is outside the immediate landscape. Finale Ligure and the Riviera are reachable over the Melogno pass, but the coast is outside the 15 km radius and does not affect the score. Millesimo is the nearest small town of note, with a medieval core and castle remains. This part of inland western Liguria is known for forests, chestnuts, mushrooms and cool upland valleys rather than for a single landmark.
