Beatiful Stone Farmhouse in a Charming Hamlet in The High Casentino Valley, Sleeps Up to 18.
The house overlooks the delightful hamlet of Strapitognoli, at the end of a very well maintained gravel road. From Florence or Arezzo find your way to the S.S. della Consuma (the "Consuma road"), when nearing Borgo alla Collina turn towards Tartiglia and carry on past the small church for just under 2km. There is plenty of parking space around the house. The nearest "all purpose" shops are in either Scarpaccia or Strada in Casentino. The stunning Pieve di Romena is only a few of km away and the historical towns of Poppi and Bibbiena a little further. There are several weekly markets in the nearby towns and villages and monthly events in several towns.
The Parco del Canto Della Rana in Stia offers ample opportunities for trekking to suit all abilities and fun filled swimming in the river Arno with picnic areas, beach-volleyball and othe children activities.
Roam a little further afield to the Eremo di Camaldoli where you can visit the Monastery and the Hermitage as well as the old style Pharmacy where you can buy sweets and spirits made by the monks. Or venture to Florence for its beatiful architecture and shopping or Arezzo for its silversmiths and Jazz festival.
