HOW TO GET HERE?
Hidronica is located in the valley of the river Sesia, one of the most beatiful and unpolluted of Italy.
Valsesia is really wild but it's quite close to Milan (Milano), Turin (Torino) and Genoa (Genova) (one hour and a half driving) and to the airport of Malpensa (one hour driving).
As you can see from the map, Valsesia is located in the middle of North-West Italy and it's very easily reachable since it's closely connetted to the highway system.
Keeping on reading this you'll find the instructions to reach Valsesia from the biggest Centres of North-West.
City names are indicated in Italian so you know how to recognize them on signs and maps.
