The agriturismo
La Chiusa is a 19th-century farmhouse that stands among the woods, meadows and flowers of the Casentino Forests National Park, along its hiking network, easily accessible from Florence, Arezzo and Forlì.
It is a simple and authentic farmhouse, created to make people appreciate the life, culture and gastronomy of Tuscany; it is a special place to experience a natural and active rhythm of life.
There is a vegetable garden cultivated without the use of pesticides for the products destined for the guests' table. The most important agricultural activity is the cultivation of saffron , which is done organically without the use of fertilizers and chemical treatments. Apples, pears, cherries, plums and peaches are grown on the farm.
The accommodation
The owners personally welcome guests and offer accommodation in double rooms with bathrooms furnished in the traditional Tuscan Apennine style, with exposed wooden beams and floors and Tuscan terracotta tiles.
You can also take advantage of comfortable multiple rooms at excellent prices, very suitable for the stay of groups and large families.
Il Ciliegio: Located in the main building, this is the largest of the rooms with bathroom. It has exposed truss beams and takes its name from the furniture that decorates it, which is made of cherry briar. It has a double bed and the possibility of easily adding a third and fourth bed.
I Codirossi: It is named after the little family of redstarts that had built their nest there before it was renovated. It is located on the first floor of the "Drying House." In addition to the normal entrance from inside, it has two French doors that give it wonderful light.
It is spacious and can accommodate an extra bed.
Le Rondini: It is located on the second floor of the "Seccatoio" and has a small outdoor terrace that can be accessed directly from the room. It owes its name to the insistence with which a two swallows had decided to build their nest here during the renovation.
It is perfect for two people.
Le Castagne: It is also located on the second floor of the "Seccatoio." It has this name because chestnuts were spread out here to dry so they could be stored all winter long. It has a door to the outdoor terrace.
It is ideal for two people.
In the large room with a fireplace you can taste the gastronomic specialties of the Casentino valley, prepared with locally sourced ingredients. The homemade cakes and jams are special.
The farm adheres to ecological specifications and is a recommended structure of the Casentino Forest National Park. On the farm you can get acquainted with horses, sheep, guinea pigs, dogs and cats and use the wildlife observatory free of charge.
Activities and surrounding
La Chiusa is the ideal starting point for excursions along the Park’s pathways, which lead right from the agriturismo’s front door to creeks, waterfalls, forests and breathtaking views. The owner is one of the National Park’s guides, and is happy to provide maps and recommend routes for your excursions. Guests can also participate in the free guided excursions organised by the Park.
Just a few minutes away by car you will find two riding centres, two swimming pools, tennis courts, a 9 hole golf course, a fishing lake and mountain bikes for hire. In summer a park on the Arno park is the ideal place for a refreshing dip surrounded by nature. In winter there is skiing available at the Burraia - Campigna ski resort (1480 m), on the slopes of Monte Falco (1658 m). Snowshoes are available for hire from the agriturismo.
For those who love culture and art, the valley is home to several hamlets and medieval castles, just a stone’s throw away, as well as Romanesque churches, and the great religious centres of Camaldoli and La Verna with their works of art. A visit to the small local history ecomuseums is also recommended.
The nearest cities of art are Arezzo, Florence, Cortona and San Gimignano, but Siena, Pisa, Lucca, Ravenna and Bologna are also close enough for a day trip.

Two nights of true relaxation and culture between medieval churches and castles in a Spartan, but cozy with only one phone provider, a great situation to detoxify from cell phone addiction. Unfortunately my manager was just that, but I used the phone very little.
