What to do

B&B Ca'Nova is located just a few kilometers from Varese Ligure, 1st town in Europe to receive the Certificate of Environmental Quality and pearl of Val di Vara,
also known as "The Organic Valley".

During the last years Varese Ligure obtained from the Italian Touring Club the "Orange Flag" (a recognition of tourist-environmental quality to small towns which stand out for their excellent offer and quality hospitality), and Legambiente awarded it as the greenest town in Italy!

Recently "The Guardian" included the Vara valley in the list of the 20 best places to visit for the 2020 Holidays

Varese Ligure is also known for its characteristic "Borgo Rotondo", so named for its typical village with houses arranged in a circle.
In the summer, the Borgo Rotondo becomes an attractive natural theater for  opera where they are represented famous works performed by great artists.

B&B Ca'Nova is located in a strategic position for those who are fond of adventures in the outdoors.
In fact, right in front of our house goes one of the many trails that intersect the

ALTA VIA DEI MONTI LIGURI, and in particular track 37, which leads from the "Passo di Cento Croci" to the "Passo della Cappelletta".

On demand it is possible to have a free shuttle service from/to these two locations!
