The small town of Camaldoli, located within the municipality of Poppi, in the heart of the Casentino forests, is a real surprise. In fact, a community of monks founded at the beginning of the year 1000 by Saint Romualdo of Ravenna and still active today resides here.

But that's not all, because visiting Camaldoli also means immersing yourself in the lush nature of the Casentino Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna national park, which extends between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, and entirely includes the town and its surroundings. You can therefore walk along the trekking paths, or cycle along them, and then visit the beautiful surroundings, since the Casentino, the valley below, is truly full of things to see.
