La Casaccia is a charming old property in the hills of Alto Casentino with the River Arno flowing below and panoramic views of medieval casteles of Poppi and Romena against the background of the National Park of the Casentino Forests from Monte Falterona to the famous Sanctuary of St. Francis at La Verna.
The Borghini Family, residents of the Casentino Valley for generations, has completly restructured the original farm building respecting and maintaining the traditional country style of the area and using the same materials as in the past, stone, wrought iron, and the heavy chestnut wood found in the area. The 15 hectares of La Casaccia were once cultivated with grains, fruit trees and wineyards. In fact, one of the farm buildings now a restored guesthouse, La Tabaccaia, was used as a dryng room for the tobacco grown on the plains below the property. Today the principal production of La Casaccia is tree for wood, (walnut and cherry), fruit and vegetables, grapes and olives.
While one can still see signs of the farm's past such as the old well and the stone sink where the farmers' wives did their washing, all of today's comforts are present: ample outdoor parking, play area, and two swimming pools, one for adults (7mX14m) and one for children along with a solarium.
Below the main farmhouse was barn that housed the famous chianina cattle used to pull the plows in the fields. This space has now become a common room for socializing, reading,games, as well as an Internet Point. The wine cellar of La Casaccia is still used today for the artisan production of wine from the grapes grown on the property. The Borghini Family, who live on the property, are always available for information, help or needs of their guests. They are happy to organize visits to Tuscan vineyards, evenings at restaurants with typical Tuscan food and tasting of the local wines.
