Cascina Selvetto: a magical place in the Monte Barro park

On the southern side of Monte Barro, set in a protected natural oasis, is born Cascina Selvetto.

A place that we can define as magical, located a few steps from the center of the town of Sala al Barro, guarded by an isolated mountain of the pre-Alps 922 meters high.

Here, between the lake and the mountains, the views merge with history: ancient paths and forgotten villages hide what over the years have become archaeological parks belonging to the Gothic age.

An area that has been over time frequented by shepherds, farmers and rich landowners who have revolutionized the landscape by introducing cultivation of olive trees and vineyards and who have become one agricultural tradition for this place rich in terraces and vegetation.
