"Frazione Chiesa is very safe, with low crime rates. Petty theft is rare but keep valuables secure in crowded tourist spots like Alba. Roads can be narrow and winding; drive cautiously. At night, the village is quiet and well-lit. Solo travelers, including women, will feel comfortable. Beware of ticks in wooded areas during spring and summer."
