Nestled in a dense forest in the Apennines of Romagna, La Canova di Biforco is a beautifully restored farmhouse dating back to 1898. It is currently home to Ana and Ando, a couple passionate about folk music and conscious hospitality. Access to the property requires navigating a final stretch of uphill dirt road, offering an authentic lodging experience away from conventional tourist paths, surrounded by nature, tranquility, and cultural activities.

Guests can find accommodations on the first floor of the house, with a private entrance from the garden. The options include a double room with an en-suite bathroom, a cozy room with a double bed and a ceramic stove (with shared bathroom and kitchen), a shared dormitory with 6-7 single beds, and a camping area. The garden features pre-erected tents, relaxation areas, a picnic spot, and a wood-fired oven. Visitors can also park their vans and make use of the shared facilities. The guest kitchen is well-equipped with all necessities, from utensils to basic ingredients, and there is a washing machine available.

Each morning, guests can prepare their own breakfast, which includes coffee, tea, milk, cookies, cereals, toast, and jams, with eggs and cheese available upon request. The Wi-Fi connection is fast and reliable, with options for wired connectivity, making the property suitable for digital nomads. The room with a desk is designed for those looking to work in peace, but other areas of the house can also be adapted for work needs.

La Canova frequently hosts cultural events and retreats, such as concerts, readings, workshops, yoga sessions, and communal gatherings. Despite these activities, peace and quiet are always present, essential for restorative rest. Guests are welcomed warmly but also have the option for independent access through a key box.

Conveniently located along the Sentieri Margherita network and just a short walk from the Abbey of San Donnino, the house serves as an excellent starting point for hiking or biking excursions. Nearby attractions include the Acquacheta waterfalls, the small volcano of Monte Busca, and charming villages like Rocca San Casciano, Portico di Romagna, and Premilcuore. The region is home to significant spiritual paths such as those of Assisi, Dante, Sant'Antonio, and San Francesco.

At La Canova, guests come to enjoy restful sleep, appreciate silence, share authentic moments, or simply to reconnect with their own rhythm.

Hey, I'm Ana Maria

Ana and Ando are the guardians and hosts of this special place. She is a translator, and he is an anthropologist; together, they share a passion for folk music and have been living at Canova since 2023. In addition to welcoming travelers, they organize cultural events and collaborate with international artists and volunteers, fostering hospitality experiences that blend nature, culture, and genuine connections. With a sense of discretion and readiness, they are eager to guide guests in exploring the area or simply to help them feel at home, always respecting each individual's pace and desires.

Area Collina

The Canova di Biforco is located among the hills of the Forlì Apennines, in an area abundant with forests, waterways, and ancient villages. It sits on Monte Girone, overlooking the Montone Valley, just a short walk from the historic abbey of San Donnino in Soglio, a place of tranquility and spirituality that now serves as a landmark for hikers and those who appreciate silence. The region is interwoven with the Margherita Trails, a well-marked system of hiking paths that wind through beech forests, chestnut groves, and scenic ridges, making it perfect for trekking, refreshing walks, and mountain biking.

About a 15-minute drive away is Rocca San Casciano, a small town situated by the Montone River, featuring supermarkets, restaurants, weekly markets, and other amenities. The village still retains an authentic and peaceful atmosphere and is known for traditional events like the Bonfire Festival. From here, you can continue to Portico di Romagna, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, with its stone houses and charming medieval views, or explore the clear pools of the river at Bocconi and Portico, ideal for a summer dip or a relaxing moment in nature.

In less than half an hour, you can reach Premilcuore, located in the heart of the Casentino Forests Park, traversed by the Rabbi River, another natural gem of the area. In the opposite direction, Dovadola is worth a visit for its museum dedicated to Benedetta Bianchi Porro and the Guido Guerra Historical Hall. Nearby, you’ll also find the small yet captivating “vulcanino” of Monte Busca, the smallest crater in Europe, along with numerous spiritual itineraries: the area is indeed crossed by stages of the Assisi Path, the Dante Path, the Saint Anthony Path, and the Saint Francis Path.

The location of Canova makes it ideal for those looking to explore a still relatively untouched territory, rich in surprising views, history, and local traditions. Whether you come to hike, meditate, write, observe wildlife, or simply slow down, these places offer space, breath, and authentic beauty in every season.
