Quota di Poppi is a small but delightful medieval village located on the slopes of the Pratomagno pre-Apennine massif at approximately 437 meters above sea level. This village is the last bastion that you come across when climbing the panoramic road of Pratomagno from the town of Poppi, of which it is a hamlet.

The village is truly a gem: in summer the alleys are decorated with many varieties of flowers and plants in a mix of colors that bring joy...
Quota, originally called Coita, was built as a castle by the Guidi Counts in the 13th century and remained under their dominion for about two hundred years, governing much of the Casentino territory. The strategic position of Quota was ideal for the control of the two important cities of Castel Focognano and Bibbiena, which in that period were under the influence of Arezzo.

The Quota Castle represented an important military garrison in the Casentino and was a fundamental control point on the communication routes between Florence and Arezzo. Its location on the top of a hill allowed a complete view of the surrounding area, making it a fortress that was difficult to attack.
