About Cortemilia
Cortemilia sits where the Uzzone river meets the Bòrmida, in two parts: San Michele on the left bank and San Pantaleo on the right. Piazza Oscar Molinari faces a hill topped by the ruins of a medieval castle, and Via Dante Alighieri has arcaded porticoes. The town is known for the Tonda Gentile hazelnut and holds a hazelnut fair each August. The homes are grouped fairly close together near the town, so a short run in for the evening is realistic. Air conditioning is rare, while fireplaces are common.
Is Cortemilia right for you?
- Best for
- Quiet hill stays with a pool, food-minded drivers
