Rustico/casale in Via Varallo Pombia

The Ticino river runs by the area, and Golasecca lies inside the Ticino Valley with woodland, river terraces and old gravel banks. Much of the surrounding landscape falls within the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino, a regional park that continues along the river corridor. Lake Maggiore is within about 15 km to the west at Sesto Calende and Castelletto sopra Ticino. The nearest larger town is Gallarate, with rail links, shops and services; Malpensa airport is also nearby, which affects the wider setting with airport infrastructure on part of the plain. The area is known in archaeology for the Golasecca culture of the early Iron Age.
