This itinerary wends its way through the province of Arezzo, including a stop in its capital city, offering a sort of cultural break in what would otherwise be a comfortable two-day trip. By following our recommendations, however, you can extend your journey, and indeed the very nature of this travel plan encourages leisurely pauses, making it a perfect \u2018slow travel\u2019 circuit within the Tuscany region. Our adventure begins close to the Casentino forests.<br \/>\nThe<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/dimora\/castello-di-porciano\/?lan=en\">Castello di Porciano<\/a><\/strong>, situated in the town of Stia and accessible via Bibbiena, is open to the public and can also be rented in its entirety, which consists of five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Alternatively, it is possible to reserve just the small guard tower which stands on the remnants of the ancient city walls and is ideally suited for couples. This Castle \u2013 which, like many others in Tuscany and Romagna, was owned by the Guidi Counts \u2013 is an ideal base for an extended stay: from Stia, you are a stone\u2019s throw away from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parcoforestecasentinesi.it\/en\">Casentino Forests National Park<\/a>, which promotes environmentally friendly agricultural methods as identified by a register that includes a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parcoforestecasentinesi.it\/it\/muoversi\/albo-aziende-agricole-consigliate\">list of all the recommended farms<\/a>. Key attractions include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camaldoli.it\/\">Camaldoli<\/a>, a community of Benedictine monks established more than a thousand years ago, who happily open their doors to welcome visitors wishing to explore the monastery, its sacred hermitage and the ancient pharmacy. The nearby Falterona and Fumaiolo mountains are respectively the sources of the well-known Arno and Tiber rivers. The village of Stia, known for its wool industry, is home to a restored <a href=\"https:\/\/museodellalana.it\/en\">ancient woollen mill which now serves as a museum<\/a>. And we could not leave this area without recommending you savour the culinary delights of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tirabuscio.it\/\">Il Tirabusci\u00f2<\/a>, which has been awarded the prestigious \u2018Slow Food\u2019 certification. Our top tips? Try the pigeon stew served in a clay pot, the \u2018Grigio del Casentino\u2019 pig sausages and the fresh handmade <em>tortelli<\/em> stuffed with potatoes and served with a <em>rag\u00f9<\/em> sauce, the ingredients of which have been regionally sourced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the hidden, more spiritual side of Tuscany: a land of dense forests, sacred places [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":25295,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564,499],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-territories","category-toscana-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tuscany - Exploring Castles in the Arezzo Area - From Casentino to Gargonza | Dimore Storiche Italiane<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/intorno-ad-arezzo-dal-casentino-a-gargonza\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tuscany - Exploring Castles in the Arezzo Area - From Casentino to Gargonza | Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Discover the hidden, more spiritual side of Tuscany: a land of dense forests, sacred places [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/intorno-ad-arezzo-dal-casentino-a-gargonza\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-09-17T19:12:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-11-28T13:18:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Casentino-archivio-Toscana-Promozione-Turistica.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"788\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lucia Calabrese\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Lucia Calabrese\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/intorno-ad-arezzo-dal-casentino-a-gargonza\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/intorno-ad-arezzo-dal-casentino-a-gargonza\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Lucia Calabrese\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/03cbf70e48c559fb6bd6e9eaf35502f1\"},\"headline\":\"Tuscany &#8211;
