The Residence LA CAPANNINA is a typical rustic tuscan dwelling, very ancient, built with local stones. Its first construction traces back in history, probably down to the Middle Ages or to the ancient Etruscan/Roman times.
Throughout the centuries the Residence has been restored and improved several times and recently refurbished and divided in apartments.
LA CAPANNINA has been owned by the Goretti’s family for more than 100 years.
|
The Residence is within The National Park of Casentino Forests (*) boundaries at 800 m. above sea level, surrounded by a luxuriant forest of oaks, chestnuts, firs, pines and beech trees, overlooking the
Casentino Valley, the most beautiful and enchanting Valley of
Tuscany and possibly one of the most beautiful in Italy.
With its 7.5 hectares of land, LA CAPANNINA has ample parking spaces, a play ground for children and comfortable surroundings for sun bathing.

A holiday at the Residence LA CAPANNINA is ideal for families or those who love nature, quietness and silence; for those who wish to take a break from their frenetic cities can enjoy time far from the chaotic noise, to find their inner self, meditate, read, study or alternatively to walk in the woods or trekking in the National Park.
It is also easy to watch the wild life and have great photo opportunities: dears, boars, squirrels, hares, foxes, pheasants, hawks and others are populating the park and live freely around the house.
Within few kilometres it is possible to visit some archaeological sites; from the etruscan age, romanic churches (Romena, Socana, etc.), sanctuaries, monasteries (Camaldoli, La Verna, etc.), medieval towns and museums spreading throughout the Casentino Valley and Tuscany.
