About Weather/Climate/Temperature

The Weather in our area is very hot in July-August it can reach 34 degrees C. As we are at 800mts it is fresher in comparison to down the cost in Genova-Savona. From April to May and from September to October it is cooler and it can snow towards the end of October.

About Transport

To reach Urbe , our municipality you have to take a bus in Genoa or a train to Campo Ligure, or Rossiglione that are the nearest train stations to Urbe. From there there are some bus services to Urbe, but they are only three or four a day. Being the last one at 6.15pm.
From Vara Superiore, where we are, there are only a few bus services to Campo Ligure and to Genoa. Starting at 5.20am and then three more during the day.
To take a better chance of the area and the inland, we recommend private car.

Walking is one of our main attraction in the Regional Park of Beigua. Walking from "La Casa Inglese" towards the magnificent Faillo through the woods up and down mountains; is a extraordinary experience of 4 hours ( for expert walkers)or even 7 for those less advance in walking in hills, climbing gorges, crossing rivers etc. Then in the Faillo see in good clear days all through Genoa, Portofino etc.
