A warm, family feel

The house keeps the authentic character of the old homes of the Apennines. The large, bright living room, with its big red sofa and matching armchairs, is gathered around the fireplace and an elegant wooden bookcase.

In the Santerno valley

Castel del Rio is a picturesque village set in the Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines, halfway between Imola and Firenzuola. History, nature and food come together here: hiking trails, roads loved by motorcyclists and mountain bikers, and shops and restaurants a short walk from the house.

In October

Every Sunday in October the village celebrates the Marrone di Castel del Rio, its protected chestnut, with a food festival. It's the liveliest time of the year.
