The Casentino is one of the most enchanting valleys in Tuscany, characterized by gentle hills, dense forests, and charming medieval villages. This valley, through which the initial stretch of the Arno River flows, has been a region of passage, spirituality, and ancient peasant traditions for centuries. It is home to monasteries and Romanesque churches of exceptional beauty, such as the Sanctuary of La Verna, associated with St. Francis, and the Hermitage of Camaldoli, nestled within one of Europe's oldest forests.
The Casentino Forests, now a National Park and a candidate for UNESCO Natural World Heritage status, are a true treasure of biodiversity, featuring trails that weave through ancient beech trees, streams, and serene clearings. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy paths for trekking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, as well as viewpoints that offer stunning vistas of the valley in all its glory.
The region also boasts a rich culinary tradition, featuring genuine flavors such as extra virgin olive oil, honey, mushrooms, chestnuts, and local cured meats, which often take center stage at village festivals throughout the year. The locations of Capolona and Baciano provide easy access to art cities like Arezzo, Florence, Siena, and Cortona, seamlessly blending nature, history, and culture into a single stay.
