Activities and Distances
We are close to Raggiolo, declared one of Italy’s most beautiful hamlets in 2015, a small ancient town on the side of the Pratomagno hill, between Casentino and Valdarno. Raggiolo is the union of two towns which date back to the VII-VIII Century. The town, which can only be visited on foot, is the ideal place to rediscover the Tuscan-Emilian Appennine Middle Ages. The hamlet provides a warm welcome without leaving its authenticity behind. Raggiolo also features many farming and pastoral traditions, preserved and remembered by the Museo della Castagna (the chestnut museum).
We suggest visiting the church of San Michele and the nearby Chiusi Della Verna, a place for meditation and self-reflection, as well as Bibbiena, a great starting point for excursions into the Foreste Casentinesi national park, one of Europe’s most untouched forest areas, a true oasis of nature and silence between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna.
