Cavour

Cavour is a small town in Piedmont, in north-west Italy, set on the plain where the Alpine foothills begin, close to the Pellice valley. It is known for the Rocca, a distinctive rock outcrop that rises above the town, and for its link to the Cavour family, whose name it shares. Housing is mostly low-rise and traditional, in a quiet setting that appeals to buyers looking for a calm base within reach of Turin and the mountains.
