travels, holidays and more…

The “Val di Taro” zone is located nearby liguria and tuscany. Taro is the name of the river that flows through the whole valley. It is a very good place to start tours in all the surrounding zones, like the famous Cinque Terre national park, or the Tuscany marvelous places, like “Lunigiana” which is very close. If you prefer mountains, you can also reach Cuneo or the “Langhe” zone within a couple of hours of driving.

The nearest airports are in Parma, Pisa and Geneva, so it is really possible to get there easily and quickly in less than 4-5h of travel with airplane+train from almost anywhere in europe.

If you’re looking to buy a holiday home, it is a very good place: it has less pollution, less traffic, and more quality in the services than all other areas of Italy. There’s a big hospital in Borgo val di Taro, which is the biggest town of the valley, in which you also can find a train station.
From this train station you can reach comfortably the Cinque Terre, or travel to Pontremoli in Tuscany, or get to Parma in just 1h. So, a ideal holiday place for everyone that’s looking to stay in a quiet zone, yet with great restaurants serving excellent local dishes (like the famous mushroom “porcino”). Recently I saw a TV show in which they were talking about this zone as one of the best italian real-estate zones for at least the next 3 years.

Prices are very low compared to other zones of Italy. For example you can get a house with 600m of garden nearby Borgo val di Taro in good conditions for only 159k euros! such a house in other regions of Italy would cost at least twice. Prices are starting to rise quickly though, so I suggest you don’t delay too much!
