Traveler reviews
Jo O'Rourke
★★★★★7 years agoWonderful wide open space with the shady rive on one side and farmland on the other. I've seen hares and grouse here, and lots of eagles. The cycle path is great and now you can ceoss the lock which adds a bit of variety. I usually cycle from S Giovanni to Zevio, cross over, then back via Villa Buri.
