Holiday apartment in Borgiano: lake, vineyards and local history

Those who choose a holiday apartment in Borgiano can plan a trip among nature, water, vineyards and local history. The ancient castle of Borgiano is now a small village on the slope of a spur of Monte Letegge. Historical traces and landscape experiences thus come together in a diverse travel concept.

Monte Letegge: pastures, slopes and orchids

Monte Letegge is a Site of Community Importance (SCI), selected for the conservation of its natural habitat. Thermophilous low-growing woods grow on its slopes. The extensive pastureland was formerly managed; the submontane pastures are known for their rich orchid population. This gives nature enthusiasts specific subjects for observation.

From Borgianello, there is also a spectacular view of Parco dei Monti Azzurri. In addition to the open pastures and slopes, the landscape around Borgiano therefore offers a far-reaching panoramic outlook.

Paths between the lake, vineyards and local districts

The “Attraverso i vigneti” circular trail begins at Lago di Caccamo and leads through Borgiano and Borgianello. It runs through hills characterized by vineyards, where you come across wineries producing Vernaccia di Serrapetrona. Here, winegrowing and landscape come together along a shared route.

The “Serrapetrona: in vetta al monte letegge (3° variante)” route leads across the high pastures of Monte Letegge and then descends to the Borgiano district. Together with the circular trail, it offers a second perspective on the surrounding area. The different routes help you plan active days according to your preferred landscape focus and connection with the local district.

Lago di Caccamo is also known as Lago di Borgiano and Lago di Pievefavera because it borders the two corresponding local districts. It is used mainly for fishing and is also suitable for canoeing. The lake thus complements the paths and local history with concrete opportunities on the water.

Churches and a long local history

The Chiesa di San Giuseppe dates from the 18th century and is located within the built-up center of the Borgiano district. The Chiesa di San Paolo dates from the 13th century and stands on the grounds of the ancient castle of Borgiano. The Chiesa di San Paolo suffered severe structural damage in the 2016 earthquake, including the collapse of the upper part of the façade.

The name Borgiano can be traced back to 1240: in a document issued by Sinibaldo Fieschi, the place appears under the Latin name Borianum. Together with the village, castle and churches, this creates several historical points of reference for exploring Borgiano.
