Villas in Oltrepò Pavese

About Oltrepò Pavese
This is the southern tip of the province of Pavia: a rough triangle with the Po along its northern side and the Ligurian Apennines at its point, where Monte Lesima reaches 1,724 metres. Plain gives way to vineyard hills and then to mountains. Voghera is the main town; Broni, Stradella and Casteggio are among the other principal towns. It is Lombardy's largest wine area, known above all for Pinot Nero and Bonarda. Local food leans on cured meats such as salame di Varzi and coppa, with agnolotti pavesi at Christmas. The homes are all at one spot; each has a pool and a fireplace, and most are small, though a few sleep eight or more.
Is Oltrepò Pavese right for you?
- Best for
- Wine-minded couples with a car
- Not for you if
- You want a lively village square outside the door, because the homes share one location and everything else is a drive.
