Holiday Apartment in Vermezzo – Culture, Cycling Route and Farm Shop

Vermezzo connects the Naviglio Grande with religious history and agricultural traditions. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Vermezzo, you can combine culture, water, farm products and destinations in the surrounding area as different focal points of your stay.

Culture across several historical layers

The Church of San Zenone was built in the 17th century on the site of an older church dating back to the Lombard period. The Oratorio di San Galdino contains frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries. For your stay, this creates a cultural focus that brings together different eras at two religious sites. You can take this aspect into account when choosing your holiday apartment, just as you can your desire for days by the water or on a bicycle.

Exploring the Naviglio Grande

The Strada delle Abbazie route reaches Vermezzo 6.5 km from Abbiategrasso and runs along the Naviglio Grande towards Milano-San Cristoforo. Another specific route connection leads from the centre of Vermezzo along a cycle path running south of the Naviglio Grande to Cascina Rosa Botta, just over 1 km away. The two different distances help you consider the connection to the surrounding area and the route to the Cascina separately.

Farm products from the surrounding area

Cascina Rosa Botta has a small farm shop that is open at weekends; it offers dairy products made from the farm's milk, which is processed on commission at a nearby cheese dairy, as well as rice from its own fields. Vermezzo is part of the Riso e Rane Rural District in the Province of Milan; 80 percent of this district consists of agricultural land.
