Villa unifamiliare in Torriglia

The Ligurian Apennines surround Torriglia, with wooded ridges and passes at the head of the Trebbia valley. The Trebbia rises in this area, and the upper valley is one of the main landscape features within reach. The Parco naturale regionale dell'Antola lies here, centred on Monte Antola and the high meadows and forests above the village. There are no major ski lifts locally; the nearest small Apennine ski areas are in the inland Genovese-Piacentino zone and are minor. Genoa is the nearest large city, reached over the inland passes, with full city services, rail hubs and the port. The area is known in Liguria for mountain walking, chestnut woods and the Canestrelletto di Torriglia biscuit tradition.
