Holiday apartment in Serravalle Scrivia for culture and walking routes

Via Berthoud forms the main axis of the historic center of Serravalle Scrivia. A holiday apartment or holiday home therefore suits different ideas of how you would like to experience Serravalle Scrivia.

Libarna and the Roman past

The Archaeological Area of Libarna encompasses the excavations of the ancient Roman city of the same name, including an amphitheater, theater, urban streets and mosaics. Libarna was founded in the 1st century BC and reached its greatest period of prosperity during the imperial era. The archaeological area corresponds to approximately one tenth of the original city. The combination of urban history, structures and mosaics gives you several concrete points of reference for a culturally focused stay.

Church, organ and sacred art

The Collegiata Church of Santi Martino e Stefano houses a valuable monumental Serassi organ. Valuable works of art and historic sacred objects are also preserved there. The organ, art and sacred objects make the church an independent cultural focal point within the town’s history.

Villa Caffarena and municipal collections

Villa Caffarena is a historic aristocratic residence in the public park of the municipality of Serravalle Scrivia. The building houses the Pinacoteca Comunale’s collection of informal art; the Roberto Allegri Civic Library is also located in the same building. This place therefore combines historic architecture, art and civic knowledge within a shared setting.

Costiera Bicocca: loop trail and activity

The strada vicinale Costiera Bicocca runs between Serravalle Scrivia and Novi Ligure, from Località Bollina to Strada del Castellone in the Novi Ligure area. An approximately 8-kilometer loop trail with an equipped picnic area is recommended for Costiera Bicocca. It is suitable for walking, running, cycling and horseback riding. Its approximate length and the variety of possible activities help you fit active days into your travel plans.

A viewpoint overlooking Libarna

If you would like to combine culture and activity, this view adds a spatial perspective on the archaeological area to the historical themes, without limiting the day to a single activity.

Travel arrangements and choosing your accommodation

Serravalle Scrivia is easy to reach via the motorway. This may play a role when choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home if you consider accessibility an important criterion.
