The decor of each room has been carefully thought out. It is traditional and yet refined. With plenty of natural light, the owners have used a predominance of neutral colours, incorporating colour through paintings by Carlo Lanini that adorn the walls or through the soft furnishings.

There is so much to see and do in the Casentino Valley where this Porciano house is situated. Some of our favourite sites include the castles of Poppi and Romena, the church of Pieve di Romena, the Camaldoli Monastery and La Verna Sanctuary. If you enjoy hiking, there are some wonderful walks in the area. And for sports lovers, there are also some fantastic bike rides both in the forest and along the Arno River.
