Where we areIf you wish to combine leisure with healthy activities, you have a variety of choices. People fond of art and culture can appreciate the noumerous medieval parish-churches, castles and monasteries (Camaldoli, La Verna, etc.).
For us, who have decided to leave our cities for living in this beautiful valley, it is easy to speak of it with enthusiastic tones and we realize that this description can seem discounted at reader's eye! Nevertheless the fact of sharing and above all to make these places know to our hosts is something that gratifies us and it is part of this experience.

After this unusual premise we can say that Casentino region will remain in your heart! It is an important statement, but after visiting places as Camaldoli and above all the Verna Sanctuary we have not any doubt about it. Beyond its nature variety and the beauty of its landscapes, the Casentino region offers high level historical and artistic testimonies - as for example the Romanesque Pievi (little countryside churches) spread on the territory - and Poppi, Romena and Porciano Castles.

The aspect we find particular is the contrast between a tourism made of culture, relax and contact with nature to another made of amusement and feast in experiencing the numerous festivals, fairs and events that characterize the villages of the valley during the whole year: the chestnut fair, the mushrooms fair, the potato and the tortello fairs, the Biennial festival of the wrought iron in Stia, the Giumela in Pratovecchio, only to quote few ones.
There would be still much to say, but we hope you discover it living these places.
