In the heart of the Casentinesi Forest Park

Casa Camporino is located in the heart of the Casentinesi Forest Park in Località Moggiona, a few kilometers from Poppi, classified among the "most beautiful villages in Italy"

The structure is recently renovated, comfortable and welcoming as our guests define it today. Natural stone on the outside, carefully furnished on the inside, combining Tuscan style with modern restorations and recoveries.

Surrounded by a large garden, guests are offered the opportunity to live in and in contact with the nature of the park; eating in the open area, using the barbecue area equipped with everything you need, and the solarium area for a whirlpool and hours of sun and relaxation. For lovers in the neighboring park you can follow paths for trekking and mountain biking (the structure offers two Mountain bikes). With less than two hours of walking, taking the path that starts right behind the house, you can reach Camaldoli and the Hermitage of Camaldoli among entire forests of ancient trees and a lot of history.

In the area behind the house, a wildlife center focused on the Wolf has recently been inaugurated; starting from the information point at the Bar del Paese you can follow a series of illustrative bulletin boards with info and studies on the Wolf; then ending the route with a sighting station that can be used to observe the fauna both day and night. Many of our guests had the pleasure of seeing deer, roe deer and many other characteristic animals of the park.

Moggiona is a small, peaceful and pleasant town. It offers a breakfast bar, a small grocery store and a family restaurant with typical and traditional cuisine. Around the church develops a small village, there is a small museum on the profession of Bigonai (builders of caratelli, bigoni and various) and on the War (Moggiona is located just below what was in the Second World War the Gothic Line).
In August, on 14-15-16 the Pro Loco of the town organizes the Porcino Mushroom Festival.

Perfect stay.
We spent 14 days at this place in may, it’s a beautiful house in the middle of a protected national park. The house, the garden and swimming pool are all well maintained. It’s at a height of 700 meter, it cools down in the evening. But with the fire place it’s very cosy. The hosts are very friendly and do speak perfect English.

Wunderschönes Haus, una casa bellissima
Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche verbracht in einem Haus, das sehr gut ausgestattet ist und sehr schön gelegen, am Rande eines Dorfs und mitten im Nationalpark. - Abbiamo trascorso una ottima settimana in una casa benissima attrezzata, in una bella posizione, ai margini del villaggio e nel mezzo del parco nazionale.

Bellissima casetta immersa nel verde
La posizione della casetta è molto bella, adiacente al bosco. Il giardino è molto curato grande e ben recintato con una bella piscina. L'interno della casa è arredato con gusto e non manca nulla. (Forse una piccola lavatrice...) Ottima posizione sia per itinerari naturalistici e città d'arte. Molto relax e verde

Perfekt für Urlaub mit Hund
Die Villa ist ein Traum für Familien oder Paare mit einem oder mehreren Hunden. Sie ist sehr schön eingerichtet und bei der Ausstattung fehlt an nichts. Die Küche ist ebenfalls sehr gut ausgestattet. Der Vermieter ist sehr sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit bei jeder Frage oder jedem kleinen Problem. Leckere toskanische Gastgeschenke standen bei der Ankunft auch bereit. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und gleich hinter dem Grundstück beginnt der riesige Nationalpark. Natürlich hat man, wenn man gleich am Wald wohnt, hier und da ein paar tierische Besucher aber unsere Hündin haben sie nicht weiter gestört. Mit 2 Stunden Autofahrt über die serpentinenreichen Straßen der Berge und über die Autobahn kommt man auch schnell an die nordöstliche Küste Italiens. Rundum ein toller Urlaub. Beim nächsten Mal mit besserem Wetter😅. Vielen Dank Massimilliano für den schönen Urlaub trotz Regen und Kälte.

Natura e relax. Perfetto.
Abbiamo passato con mio marito, nostro figlio e il nostro cane tre giorni incantevoli in questa spelndida casetta. La casa è molto pulita e dotata di ogni comfort e accessorio per il soggiorno . La posizione è immersa nel verde con accesso diretto a sentieri e passeggiate. Anche il nostro cane ha potuto approfittare dello spazio in giardino . I proprietari molto disponibili e attenti ad ogni nostra richiesta e bisogno. Torneremo sicuro in estate per poter viverla nella stagione migliore. Ciao ed a presto. Sandra e famiglia 😀
