The Bed and Breakfast La Collina is situated in Farneta, a quaint village that seems to have come straight out of a fairy tale, nestled among the Tuscan hills of Casentino. This region of Tuscany retains an authentic spirit, removed from the typical tourist crowds, allowing visitors to connect with unspoiled landscapes and vibrant traditions.
Just three kilometers away lies Poppi, dominated by its impressive medieval castle of the Conti Guidi, one of the best-preserved in the area and a must-see for history and art enthusiasts. Strolling through the village, one can still feel the medieval atmosphere, with ancient stone houses, artisan shops, and views that open up to the surrounding valleys.
The area is framed by the Casentino Forests, Monte Falterona, and Campigna National Park, one of the largest in Europe, renowned for its beech and fir forests as well as its rich biodiversity. Trails and hiking paths lead to ancient hermitages and abbeys, such as the Sanctuary of La Verna, associated with St. Francis, and the Hermitage of Camaldoli, places that blend nature with spirituality.
This location is also perfect for visiting cities rich in art: Arezzo is just 30 km away, Florence around 50 km, Siena about 100 km, and Pisa just over 130 km. In a short time, one can alternate peaceful days in nature with visits to renowned museums, monuments, and squares.
In addition to its culture and nature, Casentino is famous for its flavors. Among the local specialties, one can find cheeses, cured meats, honey, chestnut flour, and wood-fired bread, all of which can be enjoyed in small restaurants and at local festivals that enliven the region.
Staying in Farneta offers an authentic Tuscan experience, where the beauty of the landscape is complemented by the simple and genuine hospitality of a land still deeply connected to its roots.
