Visitor Center and hiking refuge of the Acquerino Cantagallo Nature Reserve. Cascina di Spedaletto is located 883 meters above sea level and rises between the Limentra valley and the Agna valley. It can be reached either from Tobbiana di Montale, or from Pistoia along the Pistoia-Riola provincial road, or, on foot or by bike, from Luogomano through the Acquiputoli Pass. Here a hospital was built which was dedicated to SS Bartolomeo a Antonino. The farmhouse stands right on the remains of the Spedale. On the side stands the oratory of Sant'Anna, characterized by coats of arms and rosettes reminiscent of the Bardi Counts of Vernio.
