Informazioni sulla città/località

Raggiolo is a wonderful, ispiring place full of history and misteries. The small, rocky and cobblestone-paved town is enveloped in silence and peace: no way for motors to enter the croocked alleys. Well, that's a perfect place for children to be unleashed: free to go everywhere and discover the small chapel at the hilltop, the Ecomuseo exhibition devoted to the ancient chestnut traditions, the big rocks to be climbed almost everywhere, the springs, the creek flowing gently just around the hamlet, providing cool waters and shadows. Down the town, a pleasant trail in the woods links Raggiolo to the (archenemy) village of Quota. The pathway crosses the ruined premises of the ancient San Michele's monastery. Beneath the beautiful and old Usciolino bridge, fresh and gurgling waters invite to take a bath. 10 min from Poppi along the Buiano's road toward the Pratomagno's top.

A wonderful place to stay on the Arno river brim, where it is still clear and clean. A perfect place for cool swimming, diving and nice stay under shady trees: be prepared for pic-nics! At about 20 min from Poppi

Many animals are living here, in a special and warm environment with all the comfort and charm of Casentino countryside. You and your children will meet here wolves, deers, wild goats, birds, the shy lynx and Giulietta, a very old and gentle bear. Not cages but ample enclosures.
