Holiday apartment in San Paolo: trails, views and Romanesque traces

San Paolo among trails, views and culture

Several routes incorporate the village in different ways: the Anello di Rocca Susella circular trail reaches San Paolo after descending from Passo Crocetta. The Rocca Susella da Retorbido cycling route passes through San Paolo as it descends from Borgo della Rocca, while the La Pieve di San Zaccaria route includes San Paolo as one of its waypoints. The three routes therefore offer different starting points for planning your own day.

Hiking in the Valle Adivestra

The Anello di Rocca Susella is considered a fairly easy walk through the forests of the Valle Adivestra. In San Paolo, it runs between the village houses to a small chapel and passes the Oratorio di San Rocco. In 1820, the Oratorio di San Rocco was located within the boundaries of the parish of Santi Pietro e Paolo. For planning a walk, this creates a sequence consisting of a forest section, a stretch along the village houses and the path to a small chapel.

SP No. 20 and views between Colombara and San Paolo

The SP No. 20 Val Schizzola–Gaminara–San Paolo is designated as a route of particular landscape and ecological importance. A section of SP No. 20 between Colombara and San Paolo offers an exceptional scenic vantage point. When choosing your accommodation according to your preferred daily rhythm, the landscape and the views can provide different focal points for your personal planning. Accommodation in San Paolo may therefore be an interesting direction to explore if you would like to include the topics described in your choice of location.

Romanesque capitals and typical products

The Pieve Romanica di San Zaccaria has a three-aisled interior with original Romanesque capitals. It was probably built by the Comacini masters in the first half of the 12th century. The church therefore combines visible architectural features with a clearly defined historical classification. Another specific highlight is Azienda Agricola Saccardi Marco, Frazione San Paolo 2, 27052 Rocca Susella (PV). Sottoli, preserves and other typical packaged products are available there. Those planning to prepare their own meals in a holiday apartment can consider these products a suitable part of their personal travel planning.

Rocca Susella da Retorbido: landscape and elevation gain

The Rocca Susella da Retorbido cycling route offers views of the area's typical landscape. It is less than 20 km long and climbs more than 500 metres in elevation between Godiasco and Fortunago. This provides two specific reference points for planning your own tour: a route length of less than 20 km and an ascent of more than 500 metres between Godiasco and Fortunago. Together with the Anello di Rocca Susella and the cultural attractions, this creates a range of cycling, walking, landscapes and architecture that you can use as a guide when choosing accommodation or a holiday home in San Paolo for your own days of vacation.
