Casa Alta Ground Floor



Great Price & Halfway Between Florence and Bologna

Casa Alta is settled in Emilia Romagna at the Tuscan border. Emilia is a big province and many associate it with Parma, Bolognia, Modena, Ravenna among others. There is the South Emilia as well which puts you within striking distance of Florence, the Adriatic and Bologna...the art, food and sea. What more do you need?

Casa Alta, originally a shepherd's house, has been totally restored in 2005. The owner has used the finest local materials - terracotta flooring, chestnut from their own trees and tiles from the nearby factories of Faenza. All modern comforts are built in. It has a large garden with patios, lounge chairs and a panoramic swimming pool overlooking the valley. (10x5 mt, depth 1,20/1,90 mt). With this house there are two different levels, and two different rentals connected by a "communicating" door (as Italians are found of describing) via stair that seperates or joins the apartments and group.

A Little on the Region
Casa Alta is set in the most desirable location of the region - in the beautiful hills in the heart of Romagna-Toscana, a region off the well beaten tourist path. Located at the border of the Foreste Casentinesi, a National Park extending southward into Tuscany and at 28 Km from Faenza, famous for its ceramics since the 14th century. On the north side of this peaceful and lush valley, you will find the tiny Tuscan village of Lutirano; on the other side, 3 km down the hill in Romagna, is Tredozio with restaurants, meat shop, bakers, general stores, bars, banks and post office. Casa Alta is just half way between Florence (Km 85) and Bologna (80 km). Ravenna, capital of the world's finest Byzantine mosaics outside of Istanbul, is 45 km away.
